With baby number four on it’s way, I was excited to check out the Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard Sport.
We have two dogs and three older, fast paced brothers so thinking of bringing a baby home to a busy household, I was wondering how I was going to keep her safe. The Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard Sport is a perfect solution – a safe lil spot just for her and peace of mind for me!
Our boys helped me get the Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard Sport out of the box and set up. The assembly and instructions were straight forward and it was set up in seconds. I was so delighted with how light it was. At only 11.5 pounds, it is easy to move around. The set up was quick and the youngest was ready to get right in! It was a fun lil “cave” and the children were excited by the zip door feature for a quick escape. This feature is zipped and buckled and is opened from the outside – keeping little ones inside but it can also be secured open to make exiting a breeze for bigger children. This “fort” definitely has a childs thumbs up! It is pretty roomy with both my 5 and 8 year olds fitting fairly comfortably!
I was super excited by the UV lined canopy that comes out easily and stores back in the side of the playard. Our oldest plays soccer and we have had a number games and tournaments in the sun so I am delighted to know that we can be out for many hours and the baby will be protected, not only from the sun but due to the waterproof base, she will also be clean and dry, whatever ground surface we happen to be on.
The Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard Sport comes in a drawstring bag with a shoulder strap so transportation is a breeze. Folding the Playard was a little trickier as I found the latches a little stiffer but I think this will be much easier with practice and time. All in all, the Graco Pack ‘N Play Playard Sport is a super secure, sturdy piece of equipment that my family and I will be using both indoors and out for many years to come!
