Summer Infant Pop N Play Ultimate Playard Review

I am here to tell you about the Summer Infant Pop N Play Ultimate Playard this playard is amazing right now it's a little big for my niece but she will grow into it before you know it. She is two months now and I think this would be ideal for the ages like 6 month and on. It is so easy to take out and set up they have clips and straps all around to secure the playard. This pop n play is perfect for indoors or out. If your going to the park or the beach or if you are just going to hang out at home in the yard. You can use this indoors also it does take a good amount of space so make sure you have that space. We all know when the kid's get to that crawling stage everywhere and it's hard to get things done and watch out for your little one too. If your at home it is easy to put a few toys in and let them play while you finish up what you are doing. I am not saying to keep them in there all day but it's a nice little area to keep them occupied for a bit. Also I really love how easy this is to fold up and put away you don't wanna spend a lot of time trying to force something in the bag that won't fit. Believe me when I say it takes less then 30 sec that alone amazed me in itself.

Now the bottom of this playard is just material so I wouldn't recommend to put this on hard floors and if you choose to do that I would definitely put a blanket or a towel under it for cushion.

As you can see there is a lot of space so you can put more then one child in there not just one.

Playtime and safety go hand-in-hand with the Pop ‘n Play Ultimate Playard. This convenient playard provides parents with a portable area for kids to enjoy during family beach days, picnics and everyday outdoor activities. It also features a removable canopy to provide protection from the sun. With the easy set up and lightweight frame, even grandparents will want to keep one on hand for playtime with their grandchild.

Ultra- lightweight(12lbs) folding metal frame comes fully assembled and unfolds in seconds
Mesh sides for easy visibility and weather resistant canvas floor for use indoors and outdoors
Compact fold and travel bag with strap for easy portability
Removable sun canopy provides protection from harmful rays
