Evenflo BabySuite Signature Playard in Pinebrook

My girlfriend and I were both pregnant at the same time, so we did all our research and shopping together. We both chose a different, and actually a higher end, playard. She purchased the one we chose but I was given this EvenFlo suite for a shower gift. She was very disappointed when we compare the two and I am so fortunate to have a generous and smart Aunt that purchased this for me. My friend has said she is going to purchase the EvenFlo and leave the other at her mother-in-laws house.

We wanted a playard to keep in the living room that had all of the newer features (changing table, night light, vibrations, parent storage) but despised all the other color schemes out there. I didn't want my living room to scream BABY!!! I wanted it to blend in. This is perfect!! The changer is sturdy, albeit kind of small... I can't see it being useful once the baby is 4+ months, but it flips away and the storage area is still useful. On the underside of the changer is a long velcro pouch, perfect for a few onesies or an extra handful of diapers. The music/lights controls take 4 C batteries and 1 D battery, just fyi so you can have them onhand and not have to run out last minute. There are a LOT of complaints out there about the quality of this item, and as long as you follow the instructions (which admittedly are a bit difficult to read in a few areas) you will not be disappointed. They SHOULD tell you on the box, however, that the instructions are hidden in a pouch underneath the mattress pad. Get that out first before you start doing anything. :0)
