We got this playard when our baby boy was 4 months old.  We were going to Europe and we needed something small enough to fit standard size travel suitcase. We didn't want to pay additional baggage fee. This playard worked great! My son slept in it for 3 weeks (we were using bassinet at that time) and we left the playard at my parents house. Next time he used it he was just over one year old. We went to Europe and traveled a lot. Playard was traveling with us. It is easy to setup and folding takes less than 3 minutes. I absolutely love a playmat and diaper changing table features. This playard is everything you need when traveling with a newborn/toddler!
It also looks great. We got many compliments from people who saw it. 
I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
