Wanted to love it
Its great for traveling. But after the newborn phase my baby could not sleep more than an hour at a time in this. Its just not comfortable.

Great as a travel crib
We ended up buying two of these, one for travel and one for my parents’ place. They work great as travel cribs, though we did get a thin mattress for each for the bottom bc the one it came with is a bit hard for sleeping.

pass on this
It is definitely lightweight, easy to travel with and quick to set up. However as a portable crib, it leaves a lot to be desired. The mattress is awful and uncomfortable for our baby. I regret choosing this one because it's not compatible with other companies that sell better infant play yard mattresses. It is a safe sleep space but it certainly doesn't help our little one to sleep well. We were able to borrow a Graco pack n play from a friend and our baby fell asleep much more quickly. I love our other Chicco products but this one isn't it.

Easiest assembly ever!
LOVE this playard! This was our second portable crib purchase. The first one was some random BabyTrend one we got because it was what was in stock at Target. That thing was an absolute nightmare to put together and take apart. We gave that to Goodwill and searched this one out specifically for ease of assembly. Let me tell you it took LITERALLY TEN SECONDS from box to functional. Soooo happy!

Travel Playard
It’s great looking, sturdy and super functional for travel and play! Some critiques when using as a sleep space: I wish the pad was thicker; it’s pretty thin and mounted on top of a stiff board that sits on the floor. I understand the regulations to prevent suffocation, but seems like there could be a happy medium. Also, I’m short and have trouble reaching over the top rim to lower baby in and out smoothly, so although I’m thankful for the zippered side access, it’s still physically awkward getting him in and out while on my knees and ducking my head under the top bar. But, these issues should dissipate once he’s a bit older and can sit up and lay down by himself!

Best Playpen
This thing is amazing! Super easy to setup and breakdown, as well as to clean. Love the neutral color and simple design.

Regret purchasing.
Mattress had more in common with a deflated air mattress than it did with a firm portable playyard mattress.

The covering was stretched out causing weird waves of loose fabric. Side walls being new were also stretched out. These two combined left concerns over safety.

Return process is also a hassle.

Alfa Lite Travel Playard
Excellent design and quality. However, the bottom panel is very hard (although lightly padded) and not appropriate for sleeping.
