A playard is a portable, enclosed space designed for infants and toddlers to play safely. It typically features mesh sides for visibility and ventilation, allowing parents to keep an eye on their child while they play. Playards can be used indoors or outdoors and often come with a padded floor for comfort. Many playards also include additional features such as changing tables, storage pockets, or even built-in toys. They are lightweight and foldable, making them easy to transport and store. Playards are a popular choice for parents looking for a safe play area for their children, especially when traveling or visiting friends.
