This play yard was a must have for us. We actually have three different ones with all of the travelling we do. I love the features for newborns and diaper changing, they are so useful with a tiny baby under six months old and worth the extra cost to have them.
However, if you are looking for one for older babies, a simpler model without the extras will work just fine.

I also found that sometimes the folding mechanism can be sticky and tough to open on the first try, however once you get it snapped into place it is not going anywhere so it's still functional. He first few months we did not have this issue, it started after about six months or so after heavy daily use and several trips so this might be no issue if you are planning to use it just as a bassinet play yard at home.

Overall a solid product and I would buy this one again.
