" ... So my child can enjoy the space. ... "
" ... Large shape is great for baby to play but doesn’t easily fit in spaces. ... "
" ... Roomy, great visibility, easy to set up and take down. ... Love the removable washable sheet. ... "
" ... However this thing has been a dream and it turns out he does better in a confined space when I need him to be in there. ... "
" ... SO much more room to play than the more common smaller playpens. ... "
" ... Plenty of room to too around and looks/feels different from his crib. ... Because we started him off in the playpen at 4 months, he adjusted really well to "his space." ... "
" ... Very roomy too! ... "

" ... The carry bag is super durable and comes with a super soft fitted sheet! ... "
" ... He was able to play, crawl, and is now standing and holding the edge. ... "
" ... For clarity this review is for the JOOVY New Room2 with gray fabric and gray mesh. ... This is not light, but the wheels certainly make it much easier to move and prevents stressing the support legs because you don't have to drag it if you don't have help moving it. ... It has a velore-like top that is very soft and you can buy extras to have a spare just in case. ... It doesn't take long for the play yard to look nasty if you're dealing with light colored fabric and mesh. ... My daughter's P&P has a very light gray fabric and white mesh. ... It is heavy but if you are strong and in good shape you should be able to handle transportation with little difficulty. ... I bought a spare waterproof sheet and doubled up and it's plenty soft. ... "
" ... We used it over Christmas break and though he is 10 he is small and strong. ... "
" ... It’s very easy for one person to assemble and disassemble. ... "
" ... Bottom is well padded and sheet is soft. ... "
" ... It is durable and easy to maneuver around a room on its wheels. ... "
" ... It is big enough for the baby to play around in without it making them feel trapped. ... "

" ... Good size, well made. ... "
" ... Great big square size. ... "
" ... THIS THING IS AMAZING, not the one to get if you have a tight space, but still compact enough to work in most tight spaces. ... The carry bag is super durable and comes with a super soft fitted sheet! ... "
" ... Love the size! ... "
" ... It is large and somewhat bulky, but that's a worthwhile tradeoff to have something that's excellent quality and fits older kiddos! ... "
" ... It’s difficult to find portable play pens like this anymore. ... "
" ... This is like a queen size bed for a baby. ... "
" ... If you are looking for a larger bed this is it. ... "
