Playards are considered safe contained environments for children to play and sleep in. They are the new version to playpens and due to their safety reliability and satisfaction they have been a common registry item. They are reasonably priced due to the range of features that they offer. Included in the features are: bassinet, diaper changing station, canopy, storage pocket, mobile, rocking mechanism, MP3 and music capabilities, wheels to easily push from location to location, and storage pockets. All these features and more are positioned in an orderly arrangement to carry out its multifaceted purposes.
There are many different models available with different ranges of simplicity so that the parent will have more options to choose in regards to the purpose it will be used for. The additional features on the playard can be bought as an option depending on the family’s needs. In homes with more than one level, sleeping and changing accessories might provide some convenience to be able to change the child’s clothing in the same area he or she is playing in. Praised for its portability, working parents will be grateful for the ease with which it can be carried to the babysitter’s home. On the other hand, if its purpose is just for occasional play, then a suitable type would be light with much less features.
An attractive feature of the playard is that the levels on which the child is placed can be adjusted. The upper level can be used to place the sleeping baby lessening the depth and easing the pressure of the back when raising the child. However, this level, not being as sturdy as the lower level, has a maximum weight accommodation not exceeding 18lbs.
Playards can easily assemble, disassemble, and fold to occupy the least of space, and fit perfectly in a storage bag more than 3x less its size. The bag is of sturdy material to hold the folded playard in place while travelling. Newer models are designed to ensure safety that the child can be left alone while parent attends to other important duties.
Playards are very comfortable for the baby, the material that frames the sides are transparent to give the baby an allrond field of vision. The floor of the playyard is not tough, but can accommodate sturdy padding with a mattresss of approximately one inch thick. Strap holes, not in reach to the child are located on the base of the floor to allow the mattress to fit sturdily.
