Cosco Kids Funsport Portable Compact Baby Play Yard, Butterfly Twirl, Infant

1st -I have to say that I was so surprised and thrilled that this Play-yard is so sturdy & heavy – (for me anyway). Wasn't so bad after I removed it from the box and put it together though. It comes folded up and the mattress is folded in a square to wrap around the frame & is held together with velcro. There is also a cover/case with handles for the folded play yard in for easy carrying/traveling. The bottom of the mattress has the assembly instructions printed plus has a pocket where the sheet of assembly instructions, after folded, are kept. So you never have to forget how to put it together and close it up. The mattress is well padded & is a 100% polyurethane foam pad. My 1st picture shows a stuffed monkey (because the baby isn't here yet) and the 2nd picture shows the Bottom of the play yard where you can see the 2 wheels on one side with 2 stands on the other side & you can pick up that side to roll the play yard. On the bottom you can see the sturdy frame that also includes a stand in the middle and on each of the long sides. (I wanted you to see this so you would understand how it is so sturdy – as well as the sturdiness of the frame parts.) This is not only very sturdy but very easy to put together. You simply undo the velcro (mattress) which is holding the frame together – then put the mattress to the side. Then simply follow the directions. Just make certain that each side is completely up & you hear a 'pop' (the first time, one wasn't so I had to undo all & begin over by pulling the middle up) When all the sides are straight, you just push the middle part down. Then you lay the mattress in the middle & hide the velcro underneath - so baby doesn't try to chew on it. The top of the rails is patted & the same pattern as the mattress and the corners are a sturdy plastic. I think that if taken care of (not thrown around or big kids get inside) this will last be around for another baby or more. --------------------------------------------------------------- [my sister went to bed & I stayed up to put both reviews here - instead of waiting til her laptop was available tomorrow - I sent an email explaining]

I am happily surprised with my Cosco Funsport Play Yard. I have another inexpensive play yard that I use and I was in need of another one for our basement. I was concerned the Cosco Funsport was going to be similar to my Evenflo Play Yard which has lower sides than some other yards. This is less of a concern on the carpet but in the basement it's concrete and my daughter is a climber so high sides are a must. We were using the Graco large square play yard in the basement but it was just too large and taking up much needed space. Now that my daughter is a toddler, I only need her in the play yard for short periods of time to clean-up and load and unload the laundry. The Cosco Funsport is perfect. It's a small rectangle shape with high sides. I love that it has wheels on one side for easy moving around the room. When it's in the carrying bag it's not as lightweight and compact as the Evenflo but still much smaller than a full size square play yard. It's a cinch to open and lock and unlock the sides with a very easy push down middle. The mat inside is a good thickness, easily velcros to the yard and seems sturdy and even under my little ones feet. They even thought to add a pocket under the mat to keep the directions with the play yard. I wish they had a second pocket for the carry bag underneath the play yard for easy storage like the directions. Overall, I love the grey color and pattern and it's working wonderfully for our small space.
