At a minimum, baby play yards will provide an enclosed area in which your child can safely play. Though most models will offer additional features, the first and most important consideration should always be safety. In most cases, baby play yards are considered safe for use until a child is 35 pounds, while some toddler play yards can safely accommodate larger children. In addition to considering the weight of the child, their mobility will also be an indicator of which model is right for them. Walls that are at least 35” high should be more than enough to keep any young child from crawling out, but as children age, play yards should grow to accommodate them.

One must also make sure that any play yard is structurally sound. The walls will need to stand up to a child’s pulling, and they should be made of materials that are soft and sturdy. Many modern play yards are constructed of a thick mesh material. This is great because it will not only give with baby, but it will also allow the parent or baby sitter to see easily inside. These yards are made to be transportable, so finding a solid one that can easily be folded and toted from one location to another will make a parent’s life so much easier. Parents will no longer need to worry about their child playing on a floor when traveling or visiting friends. You will bring your safe, clean environment everywhere you go.

Of course, there are a number of additional features that are available in leading play yard brands. Some of the newer models are essentially portable nurseries, with changing tables, bassinets, mobiles and places to carry toys. These are great for moms and dads on the go, as you will be able to take care of all your baby’s needs, even when outdoors or out of town. Each additional feature usually comes with an added expense, and some may accommodate lower body weights than the play yard as a whole. Keep this in mind if shopping for a child who is getting older, as the bassinet or changing table may no longer be enough to support them. Also remember that each feature may add bulk, so if you are looking for the lightest option, a standard play yard may be the best choice.
