I would buy this product again

The play and stay play yard is so versatile for baby and me. The baby has so many stages that I must adjust to and this play and stay play yard is perfect for that. When my baby cam home from the hospital he needed to be changed A LOT and the little changing area is perfect for that. I would then put him in the little bassinet area so that he could tire himself by playing and finally put him in the lower level to sleep. This play yard definitely grows with your child.

Best all in one product!

I've owned a similar product with another brand, and the play and stay play yard blows it out of the water. It was super easy to set up, as well as move between rooms. However the highlight of the product is how secure it is. The bassinet and changing table are locked in pretty tightly to the ""crib"" sides. It would be very difficult to accidentally dislodge them. They seem to hold weight really well and I've not had any issues of ""sagging in"" like I did with my other brand. We keep this product in the living room, but you could also move it to your bedroom and save on a full size bassinet. Because of its stability and versatility, you can use this play yard for quite a long time.

Better than I imagined!

I got this item for free through Buzz Agent in exchange for this review, but honestly, I'd leave this an awesome view without it. I'm not a new parent, so I figured we had everything we needed. But when our old pack-and-play broke down, the Saftey 1st Play-and-Stay Play Yard was on our list. I'm so glad I got it, mostly because it does everything you want and need it to do with just one system. It's super easy to set up and take down. It literally takes less than a minute to put together and take apart, which is great when baby is crying for a nap or your dealing with dirty diapers. It comes with a removable full bassinet, a flip-away infant bassinet, and a flip-away changer. It literally does everything you need from naps to diaper changes to playtime. It feels very safe and comfortable, with a soft, padded mattress, a locking gate, and mesh sides for airflow and visibility. It also has two wheels that make it easy to move around. It's lightweight but durable. And importantly, it's been easy to clean! I love this Play-and-Stay Play Yard and wish I had it for our first two kids. But, better late than never!

Beautiful Play and Stay with everything you need

This play and stay is beautiful! You can tell the quality of materials that went into making this. The colors are neutral and it would look great in any space. The flip away changing pad was super convenient to switch around when you needed to quickly. It was great to have a separate changing area that you could easily wipe clean if it got dirty during changing. The bassinet was my favorite feature. It put the baby at an easy height to reach and see in quickly. The material was soft but still firm enough for a newborn. The product went together quickly, and came down quickly and was even easy to put into the storage bag. You could set this up in just a matter of minutes! I would highly recommend this product for yourself or for a baby shower gift for someone expecting. You don't be disappointed!

Awesome play pen

I have had many play pens or play yards over the years and I will say that I love the features in this one the most. The bassinet is great for when baby first comes home as it is easy to reach and snuggles the baby great. The bassinet is removable and the flip away changer is cool. Love that they are easy to remove. The toy bar is really cute and I dig all the outside pockets. It has 2 wheels which makes moving it around the house easy. It also comes with it's own carrying bag to use for storage. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Play Yard

What a well-made play yard. My oldest is 7, so I've been using play yards for years and I have to say this one is well above the rest I've used. It's built really well, is so easy to set up and I LOVE the padded bottom for comfort. Set up was really simple and the instructions were very clear. Take down is easy, as well, making this very convenient for travel. Loved the pockets on the side for extra storage!

Great all-in-one option

Very easy to unpack/assemble and seems simple to disassemble. Playpen comes in a convenient carrying bag though bassinet and changing table would need to be carried separately. Looks great and feels sturdy for a portable unit. Bassinet is a little short but base has much more cushion than similar models. I wish the hood was a little larger to better shied overhead lights but it's better than nothing. Changing table is a little wobbly but pretty comparable to other portable models and does the trick.

Versatile

Love the 3-in-1 especially when you have a newborn. The bassinets and changing area are convenient. We keep this downstairs and love that it's within reach. It is a bit bulky but love what it does. When ever we travel, we make sure to take this play yard for baby to sleep in and a safe space to play in.

Meh.

The bassinet got filthy after one month of use and you can't remove to wash it which is crazy with a newborn. We had to use our spot cleaner. Secondly, the middle bassinet is soooo hard it's like a piece of plyboard. And they don't sell anything safe to make it more comfy. A lot of the 5 star reviews are for people who got the product for free. This is a real review of a real person using it for 4 months, and while it's aesthetically pleasing, I'd look for another option.

reply from Consumer Care Team

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed, real‑world review and your experience matters. You’re right that the insert isn’t removable for machine washing. It’s designed to be spot‑cleaned, but we understand that with a newborn, that’s may not be ideal. We will provide this feedback and information to our quality and design team. As for the middle bassinet (using the included floorboard/mattress) feeling too firm, that’s intentional for safe sleep standards and the play yard meets or exceeds regulations. Your experience as someone who purchased and used it for months is incredibly valuable, and we appreciate you sharing it honestly. Our Consumer Care Team is happy to help if you have any other questions, concerns or issues with your Play yard and you can reach us at 1-800-544-1108.

I'm disappointed

We got this to have a safe place for our baby to sleep if we have to travel somewhere. We assembled it at home first, and when attempting our first trip find 2 of the sides won't disengage the lock. I have watched videos read the instructions - disengaged the middle, pulled up on the joints first... nothing works. Now we have nothing but another stationary crib. This is such a big disappointment.
