Having my last child 17 years ago, I am "out of the loop" on baby items. I had a pack n play when my kids were infants and figured I would go back with what I had success with many years ago. Although I am a few years older and weaker, this is still as easy to set up and collapse as I remember. It is made of soft material that still feels sturdy and safe for baby. It is lighter weight and easy to move around once set up as well.
