Playards & Portable Beds

Playards are essential for your newborn. Many parents leave playards out of their shopping list and wait until the baby starts to crawl or roll around. However, a baby playard is like a safe spot where you can place your young one as you carry on with other household activities, such as cooking. You'll also have peace of mind because you can watch your baby from close range.

What Is a Playard?

A playard is a small enclosure that provides a safe place for your baby to play whenever your hands are full. The walls are made of fabric or mesh, while some have wood or plastic. Playards are easy to assemble, foldable, and lightweight. Some models have a changing station, a napper, and a built-in bassinet.

Best Playard for Your Little One

The Graco® pack-n-play is one of the must-haves for any family. It's ideal for multitasking because it has a newborn seat that you can use as a changing table, a toy bar to keep the young one entertained, and a convenient push-button fold. To help your little one sleep better, add playard sheets to your pack-n-play, especially if you plan to use it as a bassinet often. Although you'll get a mattress in the portable baby beds, it might feel cold or scratchy for the baby's skin. And when it's time to go for a trip, you'll need all the essential baby gear & travel items to keep your young one comfortable while on the move. Light playards are an excellent option because they don't add so much weight to your luggage and provide a perfect place for your baby to sleep while traveling.

What to Look for When Buying a Playard

Choosing a portable baby bed may not be straightforward since all options offer a safe place to sleep and play. Consider the following elements when buying a playard.

• Functional features: Some playards include add-ons ranging from activity centers and a changing table to a canopy. Choose the additional features depending on how you intend to use the playard.
• Portability: If you travel frequently or need to move the playard around your house, make sure it folds easily and is lightweight.
• Weight and height limits: Babies can use most playards for up to three years. But the best portable playards sit on the floor, eliminating upper weight limits.
