Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Comfortable for babies who are just starting to learn basic movements
This is best used by small babies who just started crawling and do not have strong knee and elbow support yet. The padded floor supports their limbs and cushions their falls.
Pro Doubles as a bassinet
When your baby needs to lay down for a nap, you can use this as a bassinet by attaching a soft sleeping area to the rims of the playard.
Pro Provides protection against mosquitoes
Apart from being used as a sleeping area, the detachable bassinet can be zipped back in place to enclose your baby from mosquitoes during playtime.
Pro Great for travel
It is lightweight and compact, weighing only 12 pounds, and it comes with a carrying shoulder bag, so you can easily take it with you and set it up anywhere.
Pro Retains cleanliness
The Pop N' Play has a water resistant canvas floor that helps keep your baby clean and dry, even if you set it up on damp surfaces like grass and moist soil. If it is set-up indoors, the canvas floor protects surfaces from spills and overall messiness.
Pro Provides good visibility and ventilation
Besides offering great visibility to on-looking parents, the Pop 'N Play's mesh sides allow air to circulate through, providing your baby with a comfortable place to play on.
Cons
Con Babies may find it too confining
This playard is not spacious and may feel cramped, especially for babies that want to explore their surroundings.
Con Unpadded flooring causes discomfort to babies
The bottom of the Pop N' Play is only as thick as a single piece of nylon, which will hurt babies' knees when they crawl. You can create some cushioning by placing a set of foam tiles underneath.
