Regalo vs Summer Play yard
I was debating between this and the Summer Infant Pop N' Play Portable Playard, so I ordered both since there was free returns and I could just send one back. Here is a quick comparison: Regalo: (The one I'm keeping) --Removable bottom and netting (and mine is already dirty after a week or so of use) --Much easier to set up and fold down- just two bars on the bottom of either side to pull or push down with your foot --A bit more cheaply made, so if you have older kids who want to climb in and out (like I do), this might not wear as well. I have popped stitches on the top of all 6 small blue covers around the top rim, but I don't think it should affect the performance. Summer: (The one I'm returning) --Bottom isn't removable (and the bottom of the Regalo is already dirty after a week or so of use) --More time-consuming to set up/fold down- you have to go to six attachments that are tightly held on, one on the bottom of each "V", and slide it off (not as simple as it sounds:) --Materials seem better. I don't think the popped stitches I have on the Regalo would happen on the Summer (but I had a 2yo and two 4yos climbing in and out, too) So all in all, I like the Regalo for the ease of set up/folding and the option to remove the bottom and netting to wash. I have some pictures comparing the two, as well as the popped stitches on the Regalo, the corresponding grey part on the Summer, the folding bar vs the attachments to fold the Summer, and some more material comparison. Blue is Regalo, green is Summer. Update: I contacted Regalo just to let them know what I liked, but also what I thought needed improvement (stitches ripping), and they sent me another play yard for free, without my even asking! So, great customer service there!
