Once upon a time the only sleep options for baby were a crib and a bassinet—boy how times have changed!
Today expectant mommies and daddies are overwhelmed by a plethora of choices of where to have their little one sleep. The options are endless: crib, Mosses basket, bassinet, baby hammock, co-sleeper, play yard, and the list goes on and on. It is very difficult as a new mom to decide which option is the best.
When trying to decide which option was right for my family, I decided the best course of action was to list my expectations and go from there. I wanted something that was safe, comfortable and long-lasting. I didn’t want my house and closets cluttered up with things that my baby used for a short period of time and were useless until my next little one came along. Finally, after much deliberation, I decided to go with a traditional crib for the nursery and a play yard as our second sleep option. I liked the portability, convenience and multiple uses offered by the play yard, since most models also serve as a play space, changing table and more.
So my search for the perfect play yard began. I was ecstatic when I came across the Boppy Happy Place Play Yard and knew right away that it was exactly what I was looking for. And I was right! It boasts a removable bassinet which can stay in place as you collapse the play yard, a removable changing table, an extra large removable storage tray, retractable canopy, soothing vibration, signature Boppy music, nature sounds, timer, volume control, peek-at-you light, plush faux suede accents and beautiful embroidery. But the thing that really sets the Boppy Happy Place Play Yard apart from others is its “sleep easy incline” feature which offers an adjustable bassinet with two sleep positions. This feature allows your little angel to sleep lying flat or with his head slightly elevated, relieving common infant respiratory and digestive ailments.
I am absolutely head over heals for the Boppy Happy Place—in my opinion, it is the Cadillac of all play yards! It is both beautiful and practical, and I feel confident that coming from Boppy it will be a product that will last for many years to come.
