Easy to store Here is what a happy customer has to say about North States Superyard Ultimate Play Yard, Ivory baby gate, “We bought two of these play yards. My sister bought this and she recommended it to me. She was right to buy two – one is too small! Our little playpen for our daughter works perfectly. It keeps her in a large enough space to play, keeps her safe, and most importantly, it allows her parents to work on other things. Since we know where she is, it allows us more free time to do other things (dishes, cleaning, etc…).This play yard is very durable, easy to assemble, and very safe.” Note: if you buy two, it is easy to connect the two – no tools. You just click the open ends against each other. Cons: 1. Door is difficult to open 2. Cheaply made 3. Panels feel flimsy and crack easily Here is what a customer has to say negative about North States Superyard Ultimate Play Yard, Ivory, “We have been using this play yard to keep our toddler off the stairs. It worked fairly well before she became extremely mobile but it has grown less and less effective over the months we have had it. The panels are so light that they are easily lifted by a little one (my daughter is a small 15 month-old) so we have had to bungee cord the panels to the stair railings on either side so that she doesn’t just move the gate out of her way. Even with the bungee cords, she has now figured out how to move

3. the panels just enough to squeeze by and get up the stairs. My husband and I have always strongly disliked the gate on this play yard but now hate it after months of use. The gate requires you to lift up and out in order to open it but the entire panel is so light that instead of releasing, the entire gate panel simply lifts off the ground and does not open. We have found that you have to step on the corner of the panel to hold it down while lifting up and out on the gate. It is ridiculous and a constant source of frustration. I do not know if there is anything better out there but we certainly would not purchase this again.”
