Since he's getting pretty mobile (not crawling but somehow getting around everywhere) we started bringing the Breeze playard with us so he can play and roll without grabbing twigs or grass (maybe i'm over protective but I'm pretty sure those things are covered in animal feces). Plus it really comes in handy when our park time overlaps with nap time.
Edit: 4moms brought to my attention that the breeze should only be used on hard surfaces so I took down the photos I had in this post with the breeze on the grass. Safety first of course! But you can still see how amazing the breeze is in the photo from 4moms above :)
I'm gonna brag on the Breeze for a second, ok? I have dealt with quite a few playards and they are pretty cumbersome to put together and take apart. I don't know if thats where the name came from but Breeze is the perfect description for it, one-step open and closed (watch the video and see for yourself). The first time Josh took it out he was like "Whoa.. that's amazing. And easy." It's also not ugly, which I know doesn't matter that much but I love when baby products are minimal and classy, not loud and obnoxious. I'm a breeze believer, for sure. It'll also be a lifesaver once summer hits and we need a sand free spot for him at the beach.

Oh my goodness, I have been dying for one of these for the twins. We have a very complicated pack-n-play I rarely use because it's just so darn hard to put together. If we had a Breeze I would take it EVERYWHERE... when we travel, to the parks this summer during music festivals... And it will be very useful to wrangle them up when they start toddling around in opposite directions. ;) Fingers are crossed I win! (Also am already a fan of your page and 4moms page on Facebook).
ReplyDeleteI think I would take it with us when we go on trips.

We would use it when going to grandparents houses and also when baby and I visit hubby during long stints where he has to work ( sometimes he's gone for a week straight). I can imagine taking it to so many other places (sisters house, park, beach, camping)
ReplyDeleteWe travel monthly to visit family and friends, after moving from our home state about 1 1/2 yr ago. Being a mom of 5 with the newest baby only 2wks. old, the Breeze would help make this & my life a little easier!
ReplyDeleteIt would be perfect for the cottage and traveling to visit our friends/family!
ReplyDeleteThe beach. I have 2 baby boys 13 months apart. Age 1 and age 2 months. The 2 month old is still in the nicu this would be great for when he comes home
ReplyDeleteWe would use this Breeze on a daily basis! We love to travel, adventure, and eat our dinner most every night on our back porch while our sweet pea takes her last and final nap in her bouncer. She is outgrowing the bouncer soo quickly and would love a play yard like the breeze for the simplicity of setting up and packing up. So badly hoping to win!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to own one of these play yards for traveling when we go see friends and family after we welcome our first little one at the end of september!
ReplyDeleteI would use the breeze all the time. We want one to use in our bedroom as a basinet :)
ReplyDeleteI would use the Breeze everywhere we go. I find its hard to put my baby down even when we're at a friend's or relatives house. This would help out a lot!
ReplyDeleteAt my in law's house.
ReplyDeleteOur third son is due in a few weeks and the other 2 boys are still in cribs so we really need this! We have old heavy pack n plays and they are a nightmare to travel with or take out to the park! We travel a lot and love going on picnics at the park. The Breeze would make life and travel SO much easier!
ReplyDeleteI would use it at Grandms's house & trips!
ReplyDeleteMy second child is due in December. My first will be 6 in December. I have almost no baby stuff left, this would work great as crib for the baby, we mostly bedshare, but occasionally need a place for the baby.
ReplyDeleteI would love to own 4moms Breeze! I would love to use this during 4th of July weekend when we go up north.
ReplyDeleteAt home!
ReplyDeleteI would use the Breeze for staying overnight at my family, and for taking my little guy outside while we work in the yard.
ReplyDeleteWe would use it at the grandparents' house.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great for traveling to visit family!
ReplyDeleteI would use the Breeze to hang out in the backyard with my toddler while my infant sits in the Breeze in the shade.

ReplyDeleteI would use the Breeze for travels/vacations.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a breeze!! ;)

ReplyDeleteI would use it for our upcoming beach vacation!

ReplyDeleteLove it for park
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for traveling to visit family AND every time in between.
ReplyDeleteI will be a new mom so I'm not sure but probably for traveling
ReplyDeleteThe main place I would use it is at my house. I babysit my cousin's baby and the pack-n-play they leave at my house is such a pain to set up and an even more of a major pain to fold it up! grrrr!! It would be amazing to have a breeze! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one in our living room!
ReplyDeleteAt home.
ReplyDeleteI'd use mine at home, at family & friend's houses and maybe even at the park!

ReplyDeletein our backyard next to our beautiful garden
ReplyDeleteOutside!
ReplyDeleteI would tke it everywhere I go! Especially to picnic
ReplyDeleteFunny, but I wish almost daily that I had one for the downstairs that I could pop into the carfor outings. My older boys are definately kept inside ever so much more because of the challenge having a new baby poses. We are also supposed to go to Michigan to visit my grandmother who has yet to meet my family-- hubby and my kiddos. This Breeze would make me feel at home both at home and on the road!
ReplyDeleteI would take the Breeze everywhere with me! To my mom's, my best friend's house, when I'm working in the garden outside, and when we go on family outings to the park and/or beach.
ReplyDeleteeverywhere! would love this for my kiddos!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the backyard!

ReplyDeleteWe are on the go so much and would love this for play and nap times!!
ReplyDeleteWe would use it all of the time! We have a seven month old and she loves to be outside. The park is her favorite place. It would also be great to have somewhere to put her when she needs her own space at someone else's home! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would use it everywhere! Something this nice has to be shown off! No?! Lol
ReplyDeleteI would use my 4Moms Breeze all over the place...especially this summer! Some favorites would be the pool, vacations, traveling to see family, friends house for naps, the park, inside the house while cleaning or getting things done. Looks awesome! Would love to win. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteJodi
I would give it to my sister and we could go to Golden Gate Park with my new baby niece
ReplyDeleteEverywhere!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE camping but with a mobile little one we'd like to have a spot where we can set her down and not worry about how close she is getting to the fire or what worms she is eating. The Breeze seems like a perfect solution!
ReplyDeleteI would use this in the backyard, for traveling to the lake and everywhere else we go, and nap time! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRoss Olson
rcolson@charter.net
I would use it outside and at grandparents house!
ReplyDeleteGrandma's house, and anywhere else we need to travel to and stay overnight.
ReplyDeleteI would use my Breeze on our porch, by the pool, at the beach or at my sister's in the mountains!
ReplyDeleteTo grandmother's house we go!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have the room to set up a nursery AND be able to host my partner's family when (we hope) they come to visit from Belgium. We're expecting to buy a second-hand cosleeper, but this would be really helpful for making the transition between cosleeping and solo sleeping, as well as for less supervised play or nap time while cooking, showering, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful product!
ReplyDelete
