Summer vs Regalo play yards
I was debating between this and the Regalo My Play Portable Playard Indoor and Outdoor with Carry Case and Washable, Aqua, 6-Panel, 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 am including pictures of various differences (Summer is green, Regalo is blue), how they fold, differences in materials, etc.
Update:
I let Regalo know that my stitches were ripping, and they sent another one for free, without my even asking! So, great customer service!
