My husband and I have four children 6 and under and the top two requirements for the baby gear that we buy is that it be durable and easy to use! The last Pack n Play we purchased was 7 years ago for our first child, which will be my point of reference to base my review for the Swift Play yard. -Lightweight: The first thing that I noticed is that the Swift Play Yard was easy for me to carry in one arm and is not excessively bulky. I am able to carry the play yard in its carrying case in one arm and my baby in the other. Our old pack n play weighs twenty pounds! No wonder I loathed having to lug it around. The Swift play yard weighs approximately 18 pounds, but its sleek design and the two pounds less seemed to make a big difference. -Ease of Use: The play yard folds up to store away and sets up for baby to play almost in one smooth motion. To open for use, is a little tricky at first. The play yard folds inward to be more compact which was hard for me to get used to at first, but after several uses it became second nature to open and close. To store away, after removing the mattress, pull up on the center and it easily tucks away. Durable and Stylish: The mattress does have some nice cushion to it and it seems to me, to be more comfortable for baby. I let her sit and play in our old pack and play and she didn't seem to care one way or the other regarding the firmness of the mattress (she is 8 months old). I love the details on the Swift Play Yard! The fabric for the bassinet feels very durable and is a modern dark gray. The support poles on the side are metal, but are wrapped to look like a soft wooden color, which does not look like faux wood unless one is looking very closely. It also does not have big bulky wheels similar to our old version, which I seemed to often stub my toes on. Ouch! Organization: The Swift Play Yard makes my type A heart So very happy. There is a pocket for the instruction manual built in to the back of the mattress so that I can easily find it and reference it when necessary. The instruction booklet has very easy to follow photo instructions. The use of the zipper to make the one mattress function for two purposes (bassinet mattress and play yard mattress) made for easy storage. The storage bag was perfect for the bassinet, when not in use and for the second half of the mattress when the bassinet was being used. The handles on the carrying bag worked well for traveling. Cons Mattress: I do wish that the mattress was a darker gray color, similar to the bassinet fabric. It is a light color which shows stains easily. It does wipe clean, but after several uses the mattress already shows signs of spills, spit up, etc Cost: It is much pricier than our older model, by at least a hundred dollars. I would pay more than our last pack n play for the lighter and easier to maneuver Swift Play Yard. Handle: The two carrying handles are nice for short distance carrying. It would be nice to have a shoulder strap for longer distance carrying or for free hands to carry the baby at the same time. It would also be nice to have a handle ideal for hanging the Play Yard system up on the wall in storage instead of just on the floor. Overall, this play yard helps to make me one happy mama. Following four small children all day can be cumbersome, but this play yard adds one extra convenience to my daily routine. Baby is happy playing in the play yard with her toys and able to see her siblings. I can fairly easily fold up the mattress with the toys in it and move the mattress in one arm and the play yard in the other. This is extremely helpful in quickly transitioning from playing inside to taking the baby outside with the big kids. I love how easy this play yard compacts to fit through doorways!
