Maxi-Cosi Swift Play Yard, Classic Green - EcoCare

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Maxi-Cosi Swift Play Yard through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a mom of 3, I’ve tried out quite a few play yards or pack and plays and I really love the Maxi-Cosi Swift Play Yard. What sets it apart in my opinion is its modern design and colors, ease of setting up, spaciousness, and how it does not touch the ground. I am weary of how close my baby is sleeping to the floor (especially outside of the home) and this play yard provides an elevated position so that the bottom isn’t sitting right on top of the floor or carpet. The Maxi-Cosi play yards also have much thicker mattress pads than other play yards I’ve previously used and I trust that it’s more comfortable for my child. Another thing that stood out is how big this play yard is without being too heavy. It opens up to be bigger than your average play yard but it all fits in the travel bag it comes with - including the infant insert! I love that it automatically comes with the infant set up so that you can use this with young babies. It can serve as a sleeping surface or a changing surface. Apart from sleeping when we’re away from home, we will use this as a play pen on our main floor so that we keep him out of trouble when I need to step away for a few moments or to protect him from his energetic older siblings. I think this would definitely be the play yard for you if you’re looking for a spacious design - one that you could easily use as a play pen without feeling like baby is trapped in a very small area. The design is so smart and intuitive that no instruction manuals were needed for me (although it comes with one and has a slot in the design for the safe keeping of it).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression after opening the box was, "Wow! This is so lightweight!" I love that the carrying case keeps everything covered and has a strap handle to make it easier for carrying. I've never seen an easier set up for a play yard. It unfolded with ease and was a breeze to set up. I like the bassinet feature for newborns. My baby still fits based on weight and measurements, but we won't be able to use it since she is now rolling over. I still set it up and checked it out and I am impressed with it overall and think it would be perfect for any newborn in the parents' room, at grandparents/friends house, or while traveling! The mesh sides also made it easy for me to peek in and see her easily. Which is a relief as a new mom! I like that the mattress pad can zip/unzip to provide the mattress space for both the bassinet and the play yard space. It seems more comfortable than other play yard mattresses. I also like that the mattress inside the play yard can be secured in place with Velcro through the base of the play yard. Overall, very well made! This would be the perfect gift for anyone with a new baby! Love the aesthetic. Love the lightweight design. Love the carrying bag. Love how easy set up and take down is! I cannot wait to take this on our next trip or over to a family members house over the holidays. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My review is 100% my own personal opinion of the product.
