When my brother was born, my parents had a crib for him. It was tall, made of wood, and very creaky. That crib worked for me but had grown with wear. They did have a playpen that he could sit in, but it just sat in the middle of the room. There wasn’t much to the playpen either. I would throw toys into the playpen so he wouldn’t be too bored. It was a different time then, and how times have changed. Now there are portable playpens that would have been fantastic when we were growing up. You can find cribs that fold out into playpens and can be taken anywhere. One kit that I have found is the Lotus Travel Crib and Portable Baby Playard. It looks like a great playard for anyone’s baby and has a lot of excellent features.
Here’s why it is one of the best playard’s on the market.
Rocking or Stationary
It can rock or stay stationary when it is in use. It’s perfect for putting your baby to sleep or having them around. The choices provide the best quality of sleep for your little one. It is easy to change out to find the best position for your baby to get the quality sleep they need. Since not all babies sleep the same, the different options are perfect for your child. The rocking motion will put your baby to sleep within minutes. The stationary position keeps your child on their back and gives them a peaceful environment to relax.
Safe to Keep Your Baby by Your bed
Most parents want to be close enough to the baby. The Lotus Bassinet sits perfectly at your bed level, so you don’t even need to get up. You can give the bassinet a slight nudge to start rocking it again, or if you require getting up in the middle of the night. You will be able to have a full view of your baby with the mesh walls. It provides enough air for the baby to breathe.
The Portable Bassinet
The portable bassinet is perfect for taking your baby wherever you go. It can also rock or be in the stationary position. It can hold infants up to 18 lbs. The conversion from the bassinet is easy and quick. It only takes 15-seconds to set-up the crib, and the portable crib is ready to go. Take it from room to room or on a trip to grandma’s house. It is perfect for babies from ages 0-3-years old.
It has a ton of Features
Your kid can unzip the side if they want to play with other children. It is a great way for your child to get out and play in their playard. It is useful for putting them to sleep or just an easier way to put them in it. Your older kids may be encouraged to join them as they are playing around in the playard. It is such an excellent playard that you will be happy you bought it.
