I love it!
I got this for my nephew because he’s now at the age of crawling EVERYWHERE and I’m tired of chasing him down! It’s great! I love the colors and the mesh is soft enough to not scratch up his little face. There’s plenty of room for him to lay down in to take a nap and still have some toys in there with him. He loves standing up and trying to look out and play peek-a-boo. This is perfect to take outside for our family cookouts and even our camping trips. When delivered it comes in a nice heavy duty box for protection and the play yard comes in a portable bag! Definitely buy this one!!

    Perfect! Highly recommend!
    Perfect size . Bought a mattress on Walmart.con also with almost the same measurements and it fits perfectly. It’s smaller than a regular playpen. Fits perfectly in the room and comes with bassinet attachment. Highly recommend.

    Great for the price!
    I saw other reviews stating that the pack n play wasn’t sturdy, I cannot account for that since our baby isn’t here yet. It seems sturdy on its own though! Pack n play is definitely good quality, no defects and was super easy to set up. I added a mattress to our registry to get. The mattress that comes with it is very hard, basically a board with fabric! It is shorter than most standard pack n plays, but this isn’t an issue since both my husband and I are on the short side (It’s about 4 inches shorter than a graco). It came very quickly, and, as you can see, was just as pictured. I have no complaints about the pack n play for now besides the “mattress” being super hard. I will update my thoughts once baby girl arrives in July! ? Definitely worth the price as of now.

    Definitely recommend.
    This was a very good buy. Delivery was fast. I don’t really like buying baby gear sight unseen, but for the price I figured it wouldn’t be a big loss. I’ve bought play yards in the past and I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. It was easy to put together. I like that it’s not so bulky. It’s perfect for my living room, for my home office, we even use it whileI’m in the kitchen. I have a bassinet that I bought at a garage sale and since baby still fits in it (he’s 4 mo) I’m using the bassinet as well. If you’re not familiar with play yards, the “mattress” it comes with is very hard and looks and feels uncomfortable. I went ahead and ordered a mattress for it. It won’t be here for another week, but again we’re still using the bassinet so we can do without. I would definitely recommend this. I know there’s other bigger, fancier, and obviously more expensive ones. I’ve had them and for me, this is the way to go. It will be perfect for traveling because it’s small once you break it down.

    board insert

    Too hard for baby or child
    This is an okay playard. I like the pattern of the material it's very unisex. And it's easy to set up. What I don't like is that it's a bit low and the pad on the inside is very very hard for a baby/child! I will have to put extra padding inside. It also wobbles when the baby is inside.

    It's a bit smaller than other pack and plays. However, it's a wonderful deal for the money! My daughter sleeps in this every night. It's very easy to fold/move. I was skeptical but I would definitely buy again.

    Great Travel Must! Few flaws...
    So I have only ever bough Graco pack n plays. For $40 I figured I’d try this one out because my current Graco is n out meeting my expectations, needs or wants. Pros: the zipper liner for the bassinet is genius! Plus the weight limit is higher to use in Babideal then the Graco brand, 19lbs vs 15lbs respectively. It also seems to be more compact because everything fits inside the travel case and takes up less room for traveling. I would say once it’s inside the case it’s comparable to a large fold up chair in a carry bag. Cons: Although this would be great for c section momma’s or shorter people in general but the heigh of the actual play yard is short. I feel like once she’s bigger she’s going to cub out in no time. This isn’t a deal breaker for me as I’m only going to use it for sleep when we travel but definitely worth mentioning. Also even though it’s compact, it’s very heavy. I don’t think it could get any lighter but I don’t feel like my Graco is as heavy. Lastly the “mattress” is just the same as all of them, hard and the boards have gaps in them where they come together. I will most likely use a soft blanket under a play yard sheet to give some padding as there is none. All in all I think this will be perfect for travel or a stay at grandmas. I however would not suggest it’s use long term because of the mattress, but that’s just for me. Hope this review helps someone looking for a convenient travel option for baby for a good price.

    Good purchase
    The Babideal Dottie Playard is a good purchase. It's inexpensive, yet durable. The color is nice also. I bought it to have on hand for when my grandbaby (2 mos) is visiting. Setup instructions could have been clearer, but after re-reading them a couple of times, I was able to set it up by myself in no time! I really like the "zip in and out" bassinet feature. The size is just right for my small space. My only complaint is that it is very difficult to re-fold for storage or on the go! After trying and trying, I gave up and just stuffed everything into the carry bag! Not ideal but I am able to store it in the closet to await my grandbaby's next visit.

    Compact
    This is a great little play yard. When it's folding up, it's smaller and more compact than your average play pen. Because of this, it was a little hard to pack it back up after. It also didn't fit the piece that lift ups the mattress for smaller babies. It'll just have to be stored beside it. The piece used for lifting the mattress used a zipper to attach which I thought was clever. No bulky clips on it. One thing I will note is that the mattress doesn't tuck into a corner. It just lays there. It took me a while to figure out how to take the play pen down. There's no instructions. There's a button underneath the part that snaps into place on each side of the play pen. Overall it seems like a great quality play pen.

    Perfect and easy to set up
    This Dottie play yard is the perfect gender neutral play yard. Super easy to set up and take down. Always good to have a pack and play to have to take everywhere. I would definitely recommend.

    Just what you need
    This Play yard is the perfect "pack and go " play yard/pen. Comes packed in a portable carry bag. Instructions for set up are clear and easy to follow. I love the design which is perfect as I find it to be Uni-sexed. The removable bassinette, extends your ability to use for multiple purposes. Good surface area for your little one to explore. Easy wipe down, and easy spill clean up on the surfaces. Portable enough to take on trips to grandmas house, and convenient enough and small enough to set up in our hotel room.

    Center up to release buttons under sides
    I opened this up to find no paper instructions, but they are located on the changing mat. Set up is pretty easy. It comes out of the box assembled , except the bassinet needs to be zippered into the pen and the mat set in. It took me a few minutes to figure this out, but the center bottom of the pen needs to be pulled all the way up to be able to release the sides of the playpen for on to go toting. After figuring out that issue, I would recommend this for on the go moms and grandmothers who would like an easy set up play yard, changer table, and/or bassinet that is very gender neutral.
