CLOSED: Baby Bounty Bash - Safety 1st Deluxe Play Yard (+Giveaway)

This post is a 'Baby Bounty Bash' feature...The Online Baby Shower Extravaganza on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from March 25- May 5 2010.

Safety 1st has always been a company that has its name associated to quality baby products, reliable baby must-haves and trustworthy baby gear.

When I opted to review the Safety 1st Deluxe Play Yard I was initially apprehensive about the ease in setting up the same as this is our 1st Play Yard and both Hubby and I have no experience whatsoever in putting the set together.......

But we were pleasantly surprised. The instructions provided are not only easy to follow but precise in direction. In less than 15 minutes we had Bunny Boo's Safety 1st Deluxe Play Yard set up and ready for use.

This 40" long, 29.3"wide, 34.5" high Deluxe Play Yard is sturdy and multifunctional.

It can be used as a 'play pen' for your little one once he/she is ready to sit up without support

or the same can be converted, with a few adjustments,

into a baby bassinet.

*The padded thin mattress is to be used both for the bassinet and the 'play pen'*

The Deluxe Play Yard comes with an add on feature of a mini baby changing station, complete with a protective harness to prevent baby from potentially rolling over.

I had a slight concern about the sturdiness of the bassinet and the changing station but after testing out the same with a few yanks and pressure applications we realized the clips and velcro-ed in sides held both the bassinet and changing station respectively, firmly in place.

Hubby liked the meshed side windows and the ability to roll up the sheets to allow cross ventilation and airing. I know rolling down the 'mini curtains' would allow Bunny Boo to sleep more soundly but personally we feel his safety and the importance of cross ventilation is of utmost importance to avoid air suffocation pockets.

One side of the Deluxe Play Yard even has a large pocket that could be used to store diapers, wipes and perhaps wipe-cloths and an extra change of clothes.

The Deluxe Play Yard can be moved from one room to the other but has wheels affixed only on one side. This means picking up the other side to facilitate movement. I know several people have complained that the heaviness of the Deluxe Play Yard prevents easy transportation from one spot to the other but I would any day prefer a little lugging than easy transportation to another spot. A light weight Yard would not rate highly in my maternal rankings as I'd immediately associate lightness in weight to flimsiness and instability of my baby's sleep/play area and to me that's a big Red Alert!

Overall we're very satisfied with the Safety 1st Deluxe Play Yard and so far do not have any issues with the same. I also think that it has been priced just right...atleast right now.

(I only hope Bunny Boo won't mind the pretty pink tinge in the design!)

I guess we'd only know functional setbacks after consistent use after Bunny Boo's arrival...but I will keep you posted on that.

Till Bunny Boo makes his awaited appearance in the Play Yard, big sister Bunny girl has already found some willing volunteers to make the area comfortable before her baby brother arrives!
