Amazon.com Product Description
Evenflo’s BabySuite Signature playard is like buying three great products in one convenient package. The full-size bassinet gives baby a comfortable place to sleep when away from home, the playard is roomy enough to keep baby occupied with toy companions, and the changing table allows you to quickly change baby and get back to your chores. This playard is also quite maneuverable thanks to a combination of lightweight design and heavy duty wheels, which means you can easily move baby from room to room to keep close watch over her. While sturdy when open and in use, the playard folds down quickly and comes with a travel bag, so transporting it to the grandparent’s house or taking it along on vacation is no problem.

Gender-neutral black, grey, and orange plaid make this playard a great option for any baby.

If choosing between Evenflo’s BabySuite Classic and this Signature series, there are quite a few differences to note. This playard’s changing pad provides storage for diapers and wipes and can be folded back out of the way when not in use. Baby’s comfort is increased by the canopy that shades bright light for daytime napping, the premium fabrics that are softer to the touch, the quilted floorboard, and bumper pads in the full-size bassinet. Parents get added convenience with the two mesh pocket organizer and integrated electronics that let them control music, nature sounds, vibration, and even a nightlight in the playard.

The changing table is removable so that the pad can be washed. The bassinet that attaches to one end is also removable when you want to give baby full roaming range of the playard. The side walls are durable mesh for air circulation and better visual contact. While Evenflo is already a trusted name for quality, the updated look of the BabySuite Signature will have them known for their design sense as well. Stylized legs and curved edges give the playard a modern look that suits any room, while the gender-neutral Hudson Bay pattern makes it a perfect choice for any baby.

This playard is meant for babies who are unable to climb out, are less than 35 inches (89 cm) tall, and weigh less than 30 pounds (13.6 kg). The bassinet should not be used with babies who weigh over 15 pounds (6.8 kg), or babies that have begun to push up on their hands and knees. Spills and stains can be treated with cold water and a mild soap and then air dried. Be sure to read all instructions and warnings before using. Adult supervision is recommended at all times when in use.

Customer Reviews

mediocre at best
I have to admit, bought this one purely on looks (ours has a different fabric pattern/color, but the same faux wood). Would not buy again because:

1. Changing table leans to the unsupported side (even with our 8 lb newborn). I assume this will get even worse as the baby gets heavier;

2. Sleep platform severely sags in the middle. We can only position baby in certain places, otherwise his head will end up below his feet;

3. Canopy constantly pops off. The clips are insufficient, and they need to be snapped in after popping off every time we adjust the canopy;

4. Vibration motor rattles against sleep platform. It's loud- had to stuff towels in there to buffer; and

5. Music/sounds are too loud. The lowest setting is disruptive when baby is in light sleep.

Bottom line- looks good, doesn't work so good, overpriced given its shortcomings. Look elsewhere.

I'll buy a Graco next time.
My daughter slept in the bassinet part of this play yard until we moved her into her room. This 'mattress' seemed softer than others I had looked at but apparently was not as sturdy and began to sag long before she was 15 pounds (which is the weight limit for the bassinet). I called the company and they replaced it (after the standard time allowed, which was very considerate of them) but the replacement also began to sag: this is when we gave up and moved Baby to her crib. (My sister has the Graco play yard she purchased for her first 5+ years ago and my daughter didn't roll to the middle of that one.) Also the mattress rattled against the battery pack when the vibrator was on. The bassinet part of the play yard holds my only complaints, though!

Don't waste your money!
Out of all of our baby gear, this is one huge disappointment! We bought this primarily because of the very elegant look and that is about all it is good for! When our baby was a newborn, we used the changing area, but even at 7 lbs she was too heavy for the bassinet. It is way too clunky to use as a travel crib now that she is older and it makes the Graco Pack n Plays look like ingenious inventions. The crib doesn't come with a sheet for the mattress pad, so we ordered one. It makes the mattress pad "SNAP" up sometimes, even when our baby is IN the playard! Horrible! Like every other owner, the hood NEVER stayed in place and the vibration for the bassinet is very noisy. This thing is a disaster and I wish we had never bought it! I wouldn't take this playard if they paid me to! Sadly we bought it at its highest price and I kick myself every day over it. Ugh. Run in the other direction!!
