A true all-in-one option for parents with limited space!

I have absolutely loved this thing with our newborn. The setup was extremely easy and the directions were very easy to follow. Compared to playpens that I have used with my other children in the past, this one really outdoes them all. The built in bassinet and diaper changing table is so convenient. My baby would not sleep in any other spot for the first 2 months of his life and it was honestly so convenient with the diaper changing table right beside it and room to store all his essentials right on the side! It has plenty of room to put all of your diapers, medicines, wipes, and even some extra clothes right there. It is extremely easy to clean up any accidents as well. I also love that I can easily take the lifter out when he gets a little older too and use it as a full playpen. The value and use that I can get (&have already gotten) out of this thing is incredible. It is very sturdy and trustworthy and the materials that it is made of seem of very high quality. There is honestly not much negative that I can say about this item other than the fact that it could be made a little easier to take on-the-go, but it is truly much easier than any others I have had, although still always a pain. Other than that, you could not ask for a better playpen that will grow with your little one!

Most used item in my house!

Absolutely love this play and stay play yard! My son is 4 weeks old and I find myself constantly doing diaper changes and setting him down for his naps in it. Besides him being comfortable in it, I also feel reassured because it's so safe. I currently have it in my living room since that is the area we are mostly in during the day and I love how aesthetically pleasing it is! The colors are elegant and look lovely with the rest of my decor. I loved it so much I purchased one for my friend who will be having a baby soon!

Great for newborns

I loved this product, it has the all the needed things for a newborn: the changing area, the small bassinet area. The space to play or place the baby for quick naps is great. The material looks high quality and the fabric design is nice. I love that it is super easy and quick to instal, it took less than 10 minutes. The size is perfect to move it to any place!

Extremely well made

The Doral Play-and-Stay Play Yard has proven to be a reliable and versatile addition to my baby care essentials. The play yard boasts a well-thought-out design with sturdy construction. The materials used are durable and free from any harmful substances, ensuring a safe environment for the baby. The overall build quality instills confidence in its longevity. Setting up the play yard is a breeze. The instructions are clear, and the components are designed to fit together seamlessly. The quick and straightforward assembly is a notable convenience. One of the standout features is its portability. The play yard is lightweight and comes with a convenient carrying bag, making it easy to transport. This feature is particularly handy for travel. The size of the play yard is spacious enough to accommodate an active baby or toddler. The ample space provides room for play, naps, and even a few toys. The mesh sides not only enhance visibility but also contribute to proper ventilation.The sturdy frame ensures stability, and the locking mechanisms for the sides are secure. The absence of sharp edges or protruding parts adds an extra layer of safety. Maintaining cleanliness is a breeze. The fabric is easy to wipe down, and the mattress cover is often machine washable. This feature is invaluable for managing spills or accidents, ensuring a hygienic environment for the family .It doubles as a comfortable space for naps. I highly recommend.

I absolutely love how spacious this is.

I received this product in exchange for a honest review. The Play and Stay Play Yard is super spacious, enough room for my little one to stretch and play. I love how it comes with different connections for changing as well as setting our carseat on it while we get everything settled. It's perfect, doesn't take up a lot of space and durable. This is definitely something I would get if I have more kids. It's easy to put together and put away. Also easy to fit in the car when traveling.

Super convenient

I love this Play and Stay Play Yard. It is so convenient with the bassinet and changing station. It is a game changer to have this convenience. It is very easy to flip the items away when I wanted to use it as a play yard. I love the portability and it is very attractive and nice looking. It transports easily both around the house and also for travel and going to visit family and friends. It is a great size without being too large or bulky. It has been a lifesaver for encompassing so many elements in this one item! Very solid and versatile. Would recommend to anyone looking to travel with their baby or for a caretaker's house to have on hand.

Great all-in-one product for newborn!

I was excited to sample this product as I had always used Graco but this play yard looked to be a great all in one option. At first set up with was a little harder to set up than what I've used before; however, that grief was quickly erased with all the features. This play yard truly has it all for the newborn phase and all. I like that I can use it as a bassinet as well as a command center for diaper changes and all things baby outside of her room. There are a lot of added features that make organization simple. Also, the wheels make it quite easy to move from one room to another even while holding a baby. Also, the fabric is not scratchy and is very easy to clean. I would highly recommend to any parent looking for a play yard to use from day one and beyond.

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.

Sadly disappointed

I received this item from my baby shower with the plan to use it as a bassinet in our bedroom. The attached bassinet was soft and fine but you’re only able to spot clean the cushion part.. it would have been nicer if it was a removable pad that you could throw in the wash. At 2 months my baby was 23inches and already outgrowing the newborn bassinet which would have been fine since I had planned to transition him to the full size hammock like bassinet of the play yard but the cushion on it is basically nonexistent. It is so hard it feels like a sheet of plywood and again not able to machine wash it. Very disappointed and sad that it is too late to return and now I’m going to have to find another option before transitioning him to his crib. Overall the lack of cushion and ability to throw it in the wash were the two biggest disappointments and fails for me.
