I love this playyard. It's so big and spacious. It do not provide a lot of cushion so if you have hard floors just put a blanket down first to provide cushion for your little one. My little guy does love that it's so big, he can crawl around in there while I'm busy cleaning. I can not wait till the weather starts to warm up so I can test this out at a beach or park. I'm sure it will be perfect for those sort of places since it comes with a canopy. I also love how it folds up nice of easy storage, does not take up much room in the closet or trunk of my car when traveling.
