Babideal Dottie Baby Playard with Bassinet, Grey Dot, Infant

Love the portability of the play pen,but absolutely hate that it is so hard. Had to adjust to make it more comfortable. Other than that it is serving its purpose well at a great price.

Very cute and fits the space needed. I bought 2 of these and they break down at the drop of a hat. I had my infant child care baby in there, and the bottom just folded. Luckily, the Poles are straight and the rest of the playpen did not collapse with it. I am so scared to use these. They dint stay locked.

Love how convenient this is to carry around when traveling! easy set up, and perfect for my newborn girls. Only dislike I have is the pad mattress, it is very thin. I added a comforter type of blanket to tuck under mattress, saw other people bought another mattress to add on top which would work as well.

This was a very good buy. Delivery was fast. I don’t really like buying baby gear sight unseen, but for the price I figured it wouldn’t be a big loss. I’ve bought play yards in the past and I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. It was easy to put together. I like that it’s not so bulky. It’s perfect for my living room, for my home office, we even use it whileI’m in the kitchen. I have a bassinet that I bought at a garage sale and since baby still fits in it (he’s 4 mo) I’m using the bassinet as well. If you’re not familiar with play yards, the “mattress” it comes with is very hard and looks and feels uncomfortable. I went ahead and ordered a mattress for it. It won’t be here for another week, but again we’re still using the bassinet so we can do without. I would definitely recommend this. I know there’s other bigger, fancier, and obviously more expensive ones. I’ve had them and for me, this is the way to go. It will be perfect for traveling because it’s small once you break it down.

So I have only ever bough Graco pack n plays. For $40 I figured I’d try this one out because my current Graco is n out meeting my expectations, needs or wants. Pros: the zipper liner for the bassinet is genius! Plus the weight limit is higher to use in Babideal then the Graco brand, 19lbs vs 15lbs respectively. It also seems to be more compact because everything fits inside the travel case and takes up less room for traveling. I would say once it’s inside the case it’s comparable to a large fold up chair in a carry bag. Cons: Although this would be great for c section momma’s or shorter people in general but the heigh of the actual play yard is short. I feel like once she’s bigger she’s going to cub out in no time. This isn’t a deal breaker for me as I’m only going to use it for sleep when we travel but definitely worth mentioning. Also even though it’s compact, it’s very heavy. I don’t think it could get any lighter but I don’t feel like my Graco is as heavy. Lastly the “mattress” is just the same as all of them, hard and the boards have gaps in them where they come together. I will most likely use a soft blanket under a play yard sheet to give some padding as there is none. All in all I think this will be perfect for travel or a stay at grandmas. I however would not suggest it’s use long term because of the mattress, but that’s just for me. Hope this review helps someone looking for a convenient travel option for baby for a good price.
