Joovy Room Playard with Bassinet and Changing Table, Orangie Review

I bought the playard to use as a bassinet and changing table for our infant son. We ran in to several problems or concerns that were not allayed after speaking with Joovy customer service. Let me start with the positives. The construction is very solid and secure. All frame parts seem to be more stable and secure than others on the market I have seen. The storage area has many cubbies and securely fastens to the base to hold a good amount of supply weight. The changing table is very solid. It basically locks in to place to create a rather large, flat work area that is not flimsy at all (Graco's are very flimsy and your baby will roll in to a side). One note of the changing table is that material is an easily cleanable plastic material. The only issue here is that once it gets wet in the slightest it turns in to an ice rink and your baby will slide all over unless you have some padding below. If you have newborn, the safety strap isn't really practical so you just need to be super careful until they are big enough to use the strap. And if you think "why would it get wet" then you haven't had a boy.

Here are the bad items.
1\ The mattress is horrible and we felt unsafe. There is a lot of extra material in the folds and when we placed our baby on the mattress, the material bunched up above his mouth. When he would turn his head he was basically smashed up in to the mattress without a clear breathing channel. This was the most concerning issue for us. The Graco has a padded mattress too but the material remains tight just like it would in a true baby crib. Our crib and Graco is our comparison to what a safe flat surface for sleeping should be. And the Joovy failed completely. I sent pictures of this to customer service. They took a picture of one they had as well showing me what was normal for the mattress and it was the same as mine. So I don't think we had a defective unit. I think it is just their standard product.

2\ The Joovy comes with it's own special fitted sheet. The problem with the sheet is that when it is used in the bassinet position it covers the Joovy's velcro to secure the mattress to the base. When speaking with customer service on this, they at first were unsure about this but then when they tried it on their side they agreed that with the sheet in place, the model's own design to secure the mattress to the frame was compromised.

3\ Fitted sheet use when we are not using the bassinet is very annoying too. Because of the soft design of the mattress (it has unusual, padded ridges), Joovy says you need to secure the sheet to the mattress using a series of velcro straps through special holes in the sheet (only if you buy the Joovy branded sheets though). It isn't really that difficult to thread the velcro through the sheet and secure to the bottom of the mattress. It takes about 2 minutes. My complaint here is that changing a Graco sheet takes about 15 seconds and requires no threading or skill. For parents out there, imagine the frustration of changing a sheet that requires threading, velco attaching, etc at 2am with a cranky baby that has just wet the sheets. Not fun. Bad design.

All in all, I am disappointed with the execution of the design and especially the mattress safety issue. We ended up getting another Graco to replace this. Was also frustrated by Joovy's response that perhaps I would be happier with the regular Joovy model that doesn't have the bassinet, changing table, or storage bin features. Those are the reasons I bought the Joovy in the first place.
