Stardust Portable Playard – 1 Second Fold Travel Play Yard with Built-in Mattress, Zip-in Bassinet, Mesh Airflow Panels & Travel Bag – Indoor & Outdoor Baby Playpen - Black

Effectiveness: This Bugaboo Stardust playard has been absolutely invaluable for keeping my 10-month-old safe and contained both at home and during travel. The one-second setup is no exaggeration - it literally pops open instantly, which has been a lifesaver when I need a quick, secure space for my baby. The portability has made visiting family and friends so much easier, giving me a familiar, safe space for naps and play wherever we go. The mesh sides provide excellent visibility so my daughter doesn't feel isolated, and the sturdy construction keeps her safely contained while still allowing plenty of room to play and move around. I've used it both indoors and outdoors, and it performs flawlessly in both environments, making it incredibly versatile for our lifestyle. Quality: Bugaboo's reputation for premium baby gear is fully justified with this playard. The construction is exceptionally well-engineered with high-quality materials throughout. The folding mechanism is smooth and reliable, operating exactly the same after months of frequent setup and takedown. The fabric is durable and easy to clean, which is essential with an active baby who spills and makes messes. The frame is sturdy enough that I never worry about stability or safety, even with my daughter pulling herself up and bouncing around inside. The attention to detail in the design shows - from the smooth edges to the secure locking mechanisms, everything feels thoughtfully crafted for long-term use. Value for Money: While this playard represents a significant investment compared to basic alternatives, the quality, convenience, and versatility make it worth every penny. The time savings from the instant setup feature alone has been invaluable during busy days and travel situations. The durability means this will easily serve through multiple children or years of use, making the cost per use very reasonable. When I compare this to cheaper playards that are difficult to set up, less portable, or poor quality, the premium for Bugaboo's engineering and convenience is completely justified. The peace of mind and practical benefits make this one of my best baby gear purchases. This playard has become absolutely essential for our daily routine and travel adventures. Highly recommend for parents who value quality, convenience, and safety!

I absolutely love this play yard. We bought this when my daughter was a couple weeks old because our floors are uneven and the bassinet we had was too small and just did not seem secure enough for her, she would frequently wake up with her face pressed against the mesh. This play yard has become her permanent sleep surface, it's super sturdy, even when she is thrashing around and she has more room to wiggle. Her sleep definitely improved after we put her in this, the mattress is way above other pack n plays in regard to comfort. With the bassinet installed, the sides are still all mesh so there seems to be more ventilation than other brands we have tried. It is very aesthetically appealing and we have received compliments from visitors on how sleek it is. Size-It is smaller than a standard play yard (much more narrow) which is perfect for us since it can be beside the bed without taking up a bunch of space. It's closer to the size of a mini crib. It its very lightweight and easy to slide around on our hard wood floors without scratching them. It is close to the height of our bed with the bassinet attachment installed, so our baby feels close by through the night. Best feature- The best part about this play yard is that it has a removable mattress cover that can be washed, on top of that the company sells sheets that are made of organic cotton that fit perfectly over the pad. This was a huge selling point for us since we use this on a daily basis, the pad cover it comes with is very soft and not plasticky feeling like other brands so if you didn't want to spend the extra money on the sheets, it still works as primary sleep surface. Portability- It folds into a flat rectangle with the mattress still inside, the bassinet attachment is really easy to install and remove. We have made a couple of trips with this crib and since it is where she sleeps every night, she goes right to sleep in it, no matter where we are. It opens up so much easier than the other play yards we have tried! No frustration at all with setup/break down which I didn't think was possible for a pack n play. So far, we haven't identified any draw backs to this crib besides the price of the sheets and having to buy them separately. Honestly, I am just glad sheets are available for this crib at all after having terrible luck with other brands. We have been using it every night for months now and it still looks brand new.

Where do I start with this play yard? The first thing I can say is you ALWAYS get what you pay for. My wife and I initially decided we would save a bit of money and go for the Graco pack n play for our daughters first "home away from home" space we would travel with. We were disappointed with the clunkiness and uncomfortability of this pack n' play, to say the least. Our daughter had been sleeping through the night with no issues, UNTIL we traveled with this pack n' play. Long story short, one night I wound up IN the pack n' play trying to get her to sleep! Thus, where we found the Bugaboo Stardust. It is WAY easier and lighter to set up than the Graco. Also, the mattress does not couple as the carrying case that Graco does so the mattress is ACTUALLY comfortable! I know you might think that doesn't matter, but it does. This play yard is also much more compact and cozy than the Graco, giving our daughter that snug hug feeling at night when we put her down. It's sleek and unassuming and overall the way to go when it comes to a travel crib! Just like everything we have purchased from Bugaboo, we are super happy with the quality and lightness of it. You will not be disappointed.

love the look, love the weight, we love the bugaboo company! It is also easy to assemble.

Comfortable, thick mattress. Sturdy and easy assembly. Folds up like a dream and the travel bag is simple to use. Travelled across the country with this without issues. The bassinet attachment is a great feature as well.

Baby approved. Ships completely assembled other than 4 feet modification kit that was easy to install.

Love this bassinet/playpen. Extremely easy to fold up and travel with. Doesn’t take up a lot of space in the vehicle and comes with a protective carrying bag that made traveling so much easier as it could be checked as is. Only downside is you cannot find a fitted crib sheet this size, you have to go with the bugaboo one which only comes in one colour and costs $40CAD. The crib sheet is a very nice material though and a neutral colour so all in all not terrible. Bassinet is very sturdy and doesn’t take up a ton of space either. We love it!

Great! I absolutely love it. It is nice too look at, just big enough and great sleep space for my baby. Sucks the sheet is pricey but it is also quite nice.

Bought this to fit in our space better since the size is more narrow. Seems to be really good quality and folds up for travel really well
