OVERVIEW
A collapsible crib of sorts, play yards and play pens consist of metal tubing, a padded cardboard bottom and mesh sides, fold into the size of a large golf bag, and are designed to provide a safe place for baby to nap or play.

Collapsible is the key word. Due to faulty design that allowed the top rails to collapse on baby's necks, millions of play yards have been recalled over the years – and caused a heartbreaking number of deaths. The sheer number of product recalls in this category and the seriousness of the injuries make this a poor hand-me-down choice. You should sincerely consider a new play yard, or at the very least, one less than five years old. Check your own used play yard and portable crib your baby ever uses – at Grandma's, at daycare, at the gym – for safety and make sure it isn't a recalled model.

Another reason to buy this product new is the advancements in convenience and safety features. Modern play yards include new features like floating bassinet sections, changing tables, nightlights and music. And while 2001 models had solid sides in the bassinets, newer versions have mesh siding to allow babies better breathing conditions and hopefully cut down on SIDS risks.

Play yards are a must-have for just about everyone: for first-time parents who want their newborn to sleep in their room with them, for seasoned parents who need to fence in a roaming toddler, and for anyone that ever travels with baby, overnight or just during naptime. The difference between play yards and play pens? Play pens are square and play yards are rectangular. Because of the extra space afforded, play yards are by far the most popular model sold today.
