Evenflo Eris One-Hand Playard with Bassinet, Truffle Taupe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Eris One-Hand Playard with Bassinet is stylish and functional! It is a beautiful neutral color that matches our home decor. The functionality is even better than the design. You only need one hand to assemble. I always struggle popping up a traditional playard, so this new design is genius. There is a door on the side of the play yard, which my toddler really liked, but probably would not be a good match if your baby is an escape artist. This playard was tall and wide. It had a comfortable mattress with thicker padding. It would be better suited for use in your home than travel. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product to review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This play yard Is a big winner for me. It checks all of the boxes! It is neutral colors and aesthetically pleasing. I love the leather detail that says “Evenflo” and the colors go with everything in my house. It has ways to make it easier for smaller babies. It has toys and music, it's extremely easy to set up, and it's easy to unfold. I have owned a few Evenflo baby products, and one of the best things they do is they make them safe and comfortable for baby. The mattress is softer than any other play yard we've ever seen or used (see attached picture—the mattress is mesh and soft!). The one hand pull for setup and take down is a complete game changer. “Easy” has to be the name of the game when you have a baby on your hip and especially if you're traveling. I absolutely love the zipper on the side, as my older kids like to pop their head in to say hi, when my youngest is in there. It did come with a small hole in the mesh, which could become a small issue as my baby gets older. The soothing lights and sounds technology is not intuitive. It makes more sense after you get the device set up with the app or read the instructions. However, it's a great tool, especially because you can choose between nature sounds, quiet music, or fun and playful music, depending on what you are using the play yard for! I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, so when we got it my baby was already too old for the bassinet function, but I tried it out and it's easy to set up. Overall, I really like this play yard. It's much easier to set up and more comfortable for baby than other play yards I have owned.
