GEAR FOR TRAVEL - Playards

Travel Gear for when you're on the go with baby! Learn what to look for and what the top products are when selecting a playard.

The quality of some products really stands out above the rest. When selecting baby gear to buy, consult the guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Also, consumerreports.org does test and rate baby products like car seats.

Be sure to check for the latest recall information from the Consumer Product and Saftey Commission. This is especially important if purchasing products that haven't been sold in stores for a while, such as when buying new or previously owned products from Ebay.

Playards
Playards - Playards are good as portable cribs or as a safe place for your baby to play. Some models have a bassinet and a changing station.
Popular playards include Chicco Lullaby, Combi Sport, Combi PX, Compass Aluminum, Graco Pack and Play, Graco Travel Lite Crib, and J masons Safe Surround.
* Look for JPMA certified products.
* Never let any ribbons or strings hang down into the playard.
* Some playards come with hanging toys. Remove these toys when infant can sit up.
* Never add any extra mattresses, padding or blankets to the playard as they pose entrapment or suffocation hazards.
