I think it's pretty safe to say that nothing is more important to your happiness than making sure you AND your baby get enough sleep! There's a reason this is the topic of so many conversations between new parents and the subject of so many parenting books! Good sleep can be hard enough to get when you're at home, sleeping in your own bed, and sticking to your normal routine. But when you're away from home and sleeping in unfamiliar places, sleep can become even more elusive! This is especially true for your little ones!
We just got back from a week-long trip to visit family, and I'm always so, so grateful that my in-laws have a very comfortable guest room (and comfy bed) for us to sleep in. And I'm also so glad that our little boy is such a good sleeper and that he isn't super picky about sticking to a bedtime routine and only sleeping in his own bed. But that definitely hasn't always been the case! When he was a tiny baby, we, like most new parents, had some rough nights while traveling as we struggled to get him to settle down and fall asleep.
One of the things I noticed that really had a huge effect on how easy it was to get our son to sleep when we were on vacation is how comfortable his bed was. So if you're planning to travel a lot with your baby, a good pack-and-play or playard is definitely an essential item for your baby registry! The 4moms Breeze has LONG been a favorite of parents and kiddos everywhere. So I'm really excited to tell you about these three new 4moms Breeze playards. The best feature of all three of these playards is how fast and simple it is to set them up! Instead of struggling to make sure everything is correctly snapped into place, you simply have to push down on the central hub to open and pull up to close! Now let's check out some of the other features of each one.
4moms Breeze Classic*
The 4moms breeze classic is a great place to start if you're looking for a playard!
It includes a travel bag, a removable bassinet, and weighs in at 23 pounds. The removable bassinet can be used from birth until 18 pounds, and the playard can be used from birth until 30 pounds.
It is 43 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 29 inches high, so your little one will be sure to have plenty of room!
*The Breeze Classic has been discontinued.

I love that all three of these 4moms breeze playards offer the easy-open frame, but each one has unique accessories.
