The InGenuity Smart & Simple Playard in Coco Cafe came with everything I would need to create a portable sleeping area for an infant or toddler. All of the essential pieces fit in the included storage bag that makes it easy to tote along the playard for travel use. When the playard arrived I had a lot of fun getting it all set up and ready and we tested it first with my nearly 2 year old who does still use a playard when we travel. He still fits great in the playard when set up for a toddler and the playard was very safe and secure place for him to lay. The majority of my use for playard will come when our newest addition arrives to give us a space for the baby until they are ready to move out of our room and into a their crib. In the bassinet setting, the infant sleeps at a great height to be right next to my bed for easier middle of the night feedings and diaper changes. This Smart & Simple playard has a removable diaper changing station that can be added if needed and fold out of the way or removed completely. The changing station sits above the playard making it at a great height for changing diapers. The set also comes with a removable organizer tray to be able to keep diapers, wipes, lotions, toys, pacifiers, and more handy and easy to find. Additionally, this playard came with a fabric toy bar with two cute plush hanging animals that coordinate with the set. The bassinet felt very secure with the bars added below the mattress for security and a mesh hanging basket that zips right on to the playard providing extra stability. I loved how easily all the pieces snap right into place with the built in guides that show you right where to clip on the different pieces. The playard is easy to collapse with One Less Step that lets you keep the bassinet in place when folding. I’m very happy with the look and high-quality of this playard and I know we will get TONS of use out of this playard! Plus, I really adore the neutral and not overly loud print of the Coco Cafe collection that still brings in color and fun without being over the top. You can find the InGenuity Smart & Simple Playard in one of their great collection prints available at Target. The playard retails for $99.99.

CONS:
* Ingenuity is heavier than lightweight travel cribs, which are primarily intended only for traveling. But that goes for all Playards and Pack ‘N Plays, so it’s not a disadvantage compared to similar models. But, if you intend to use it mostly for traveling, I suggest you take a look into lightweight travel cribs before your decision. RECOMMENDED DEAL What is Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard?Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard is a multifunctional baby space, perfect from newborn, all the way to toddler age. And it is not just a good choice for your baby, as it can significantly ease your life too. Why? Because you have everything on the reach of your hand. If I had to point out a particular feature that sticks out from the average, that would be its wide range of usability and the number of different accessories. It is so impressive, how much effort Ingenuity put into the accessibility of different accessories. Note: Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard is available in multiple versions. Models differ depending on added accessories. Read what you get in the package carefully, and pick the option that suits your family’s needs the most! You can use it as:
What you get?Since the Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard has been on the market, it has been available in nine versions, but unfortunately, not all of them are always available. I don’t call them models, because their main features are the same. As I said, their difference is in the accessories. A multifunctional Pack ‘N Play with
Different accessories1. Additional storage space:Some Ingenuity Playards come with a hanging storage tray, others with hanging side pockets. There is not a huge difference in the number of baby necessities you can stuff into one or another, so I would not decide based on them. 2. Toys:You can choose between:
3. Newborn Napper station:On the top of the Pack ‘N Play is a clipped-on newborn napper. It is deep enough and safe for your newborn. It is also slightly inclined and lined with a comfortable white plush. A newborn napper is great for naps during the day, but for overnight sleep, rather use a full-size bassinet, which hangs on the Playard sides. Both a newborn napper and full-size bassinet can be quickly and easily attached to or removed from the Playard. 4. Changing table:The changing table stands on the top of the Playard too. It is located on the right side of the unit, and a little bigger than a newborn napper, so you can use it longer. The changing table is covered with a wipeable nylon fabric and deep enough to prevent rolling off. When it is not in use, you can either flip it out of the way, on the side of the Playard, or remove it entirely. It is easily detachable.

In-depth Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard ReviewEase of useI really like that you can collapse the Playard with the full-size bassinet installed in the unit. But don’t confuse the full-size bassinet with a newborn napper station! Remember, while the napper sits on the top of the Pack ‘N Play, is the full-size bassinet, the one that hangs inside the unit. You can’t pack the napper into a traveling bag! And it’s the same story with the changing tablet. But that is the same on all Pack ‘N Plays, so it’s not a feature that should divide you from the purchase! The napper station and changing table are perfect for home usage, but not handy for traveling at all. So, don’t cause yourself an unnecessary hassle. Why would you carry around the napper and changer, if the full-size bassinet and Playard are completely enough and also fit perfectly into a traveling bag? Don’t worry, your newborn will nap in the full-size bassinet as safe, as in the napper station. And you shouldn’t use a newborn napper overnight anyway! You can also buy a cheap changing pad, which is perfectly OK for changing nappies while traveling. PortabilityIngenuity Smart and Simple Playard is a convenient choice for occasion travelers, but certainly not the best option for frequent traveling, especially by plane. If you intend to travel a lot, I recommend you take a look into lightweight portable Pack ‘N Plays such as BabyByorn travel crib Light or Guava Family Lotus travel crib. Such cribs are really light and fold up small into a travel bag in the shape of a backpack or suitcase. They are also suitable for a newborn to toddler’s age and can be used as a convenient Playpen too. Back to the Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard. As I said, you can take it with you wherever you go, but there are a few things you should know.
Travel mattressIngenuity has an included classic 1″ Pack ‘N Play mattress. It belongs in the middle-quality range, compared to other Pack ‘N Play mattresses. It could be better, but it is right that it’s not thicker! Playards’ sides are from mesh, so there is no solid side support, like on standard cribs. If the baby falls from the mattress, she can become entrapped between the mattress and the Pack ‘N Play’s side. That could lead to injuries, so don’t use a thicker mattress in any Pack ‘N Play or travel crib! Few parents had reported that the mattress slightly bent down on sides when it was placed in the bassinet. Ingenuity’s bassinet, like any other Pack ‘N Play’s bassinet, doesn’t possess solid support. So I guess that can happen, but I don’t think it can bend so much that would cause a safety risk. DesignIngenuity Smart and Simple Playard has a modern design, with lots of color choices. However, if you want a specific toy, for instance, a crib projection mobile, it is not available in all colors. Some colors are available with mobile, others with toy arch, and jet another with toys hanging on the canopy. Don’t ask me why, but that is how it is. Playard is surrounded by breathable mesh, which enables a good airflow through the whole unit and creates a better sleeping environment for the baby. SafetyIngenuity Smart and Simple Playard does not contain BPA or latex and meets global phthalate, lead, and BPA requirements. Their Pack ‘N Play meets all US, state & without the use of flame retardants. It follows the United Kingdom flame retardant standards as well!

Ingenuity Smart and Simple is already available in a broader color selection from other Playards, but with a little effort, they could present even a wider assortment. All models could be accessible in all colors. If you need a Pack ‘N Play for home, grandparent’s house, and/or occasional travel, I don’t see any reservations why you wouldn’t opt for the Ingenuity Smart and Simple Playard!
