Joovy Room² Large Portable Playpen for Babies and Toddlers with Nearly 10 sq ft of Space, Large Mesh Windows for 360 View, and Waterproof Mattress Sheet - Folds Easily when Not in Use (Black)

For clarity this review is for the JOOVY New Room2 with gray fabric and gray mesh. It is replacing a Pack n Play TotBloc that my daughter is taking. I decided not to duplicate the previous play yard for several reasons: the JOOVY New Room2 is a bit larger, has more viewing area because of the upright support design, it has two wheels, comes with a waterproof sheet, a zippered carrying case, and the available color choice.My first thoughts:This is not light, but the wheels certainly make it much easier to move and prevents stressing the support legs because you don't have to drag it if you don't have help moving it. Set up was easy enough, similar to the P&P, and the padded mattress is okay for most babies and young toddlers. The waterproof sheet that came with it fits nicely and has deep pockets to keep it from popping off. There are reinforced slits for the straps to go through that hold the mattress to the frame. It has a velore-like top that is very soft and you can buy extras to have a spare just in case.The zippered case is nice to have because if you do use the NR2 for vacation, etc. it will help keep the dirt from getting in or the play yard frame from slipping out of the wrap-around mattress if you haven't tightened the straps enough. It's made from windbreaker type material and the zipper works easily.The reason why I chose the gray/gray was simple; wet baby fingers and drooling mouths are inevitable, and they attract dirt like a magnet. When your little one is old enough to stand, they will chew on the top rail and run their hands (and tongue) over the mesh. It doesn't take long for the play yard to look nasty if you're dealing with light colored fabric and mesh. My daughter's P&P has a very light gray fabric and white mesh. It only took the grandson a few months to make it look stained (she jokes it's just the top rail showing through). I'm hoping the darker gray will hide the dirt better, but if it doesn't, a quick wipe down should make it look new again.Now the Cons:It is heavy but if you are strong and in good shape you should be able to handle transportation with little difficulty. For the rest of us, it might be a struggle. I wish the mattress was tighter fitting but if you use the straps, especially if you have a "creative" child who likes to tunnel, the mattress should stay put. Check occasionally for missing toys under the mattress either way. Adding an additional aftermarket mattress is not recommended, and some reviewers have put extra blankets under the fitted sheet. I bought a spare waterproof sheet and doubled up and it's plenty soft. Since they are waterproof, if the top one gets soiled, it will be easy enough to remove it and a clean sheet is already on. None of the cons I've mentioned is enough for me to knock off a star.To wrap up this novel, it doesn't matter what color you choose, I think you'll be very pleased with the JOOVY New Room2 and the extra room your child will have to play in may give you peace of mind longer. I will update my review if my opinion changes or a problem arises.****Update: I didn't have this unit a week before my grandson threw up in it! Down one side, stuck in the mesh, hitting the waterproof sheet and pooling under the mattress. Ugh! A few paper towels for the chunks and some disinfectant wipes for the rest and there were no traces of the accident. The moisture never went through the sheet and nothing leaked through the bottom onto the carpet. I was so relieved to see no traces of stains or smell the next day!On a side note, the bump or ridge that has been mentioned by other reviews has appeared in our mattress as well. It in no way interferes with the function of the play yard.

The picture has the twin bassinet insert in there so it is raised up. The product I'm reviewing doesn't come with that part so the mattress part would just be lower.This partnered with the twin bassinet insert. Is literally like the only product I've come across that is perfect for a twin parent. I have more comments on the twin bassinet insert like i lovee that it's divider is removable so u have the option or not.Also the changing table is up higher then most playpen changing tables and that part is superr nice.

I absolutely love this pack n play. We have 1 year old twin boys who have been in this since they were about 9 mths old. They would not sleep apart from each other and the smaller pack n plays just didn't feel safe anymore as they got bigger. They are both around 22lbs and 31 inches tall and they have plenty of room to grow. And just a side note here......they are both walking very well and one has figured out how to climb out of all the other pack n plays (and baby gates) but this one is still a bit too tall for him....yay!!I also have a 10 year old daughter with special needs. She doesn't grow as she should and cannot walk or sit up on her own. She is about 42 inches long and also has plenty of room as she rolls about.We have had no problems at all. We do not move it often as it is the boys "bed" but early on I moved it around from bedroom to living room and never had any trouble. The waterproof cover does shrink a little after that first wash but I put it on the mattress and then bend the mattress in the opposite direction to kind of stretch the cover and that works for me. And yes it is waterproof!! My boys have had plenty of diaper accidents and my mattress still looks new!!I am actually on tonight looking to buy another for my daughter to use in the living room so we won't have to move the other one each day.

We love the Joovy Room2! It’s truly like a second room for our 9 month old when we need to get stuff done around the house and can’t have her roaming around. She loves to do any and everything in there and it’s big enough for her to sleep and have toys in there and not be worried about space! It’s also surprisingly easy to put up and break down, just as easy as any other pack n play. I was expecting it to be a little more complicated because of the size difference. The sheet it comes with is top of the line IMO! It’s almost like a velour material, super soft and wipes clean SO easily! Only thing is, I wish the sheets came in different colors. Our daughter has bad reflux and still spits up a lot so a white sheet isn’t ideal for us but like I said it wipes clean very easily and washes well too so it’s not a big deal. I was debating between this and the hiccapop but couldn’t find any info on how thick the padding was on those and didn’t like that fact that it would be directly on the ground because we have hardwood throughout our home. I wanted to make sure to get something that was either super padded or off the direct ground and I’m so glad I chose the Joovy Room2! Worth every penny!

My son is two, and he's in the 75th percentile in his height. I knew that we needed to upgrade from our old pack-n-play to one that would support his weight and his height. Out of desperation for an upcoming trip, I decided to pull the trigger and get this big boy and big boy playard.He took to this SO well, that we had ZERO issues introducing the new portable playard that served as his travel crib while away. He has plenty of space for his stuffies that he sleeps with daily, and enough room to roll around without feeling confined. The assembly is a total SNAP - literally - and the pack up and go is a total breeze!The only downfall is that this thing is HEAVY, so you will need help to carry it up the stairs, or simply slide it up like I did, and you'll be golden! Bye Bye Pack-N-Play; hello Joovy! Wish I would've heard about this months ago; we definitely wouldn't be with two pack-n-plays.
