  "title": "Play yards compared for ease of lifting a baby in and out",
  "question": "Which play yards are easiest on the back when lifting a baby in and out?",
  "answer": "The checked facts do not compare how much bending or lifting each play yard needs. The closest matches are below. BabyBjorn Play Yard Lite Bundle: Reviewers highlight convenience and ease of use; mesh is easy to see through and the thick mattress is praised versus thin pack-and-play mattresses. BabyBjorn Play Yard Light / Travel Crib Light: Sets up in one movement; no loose parts need attaching; the built-in base stands firmly on the floor. BabyBjörn Play Yard Light: Testers found it the easiest crib in the group to use: legs lock when unfolded, the mattress clips rather than using Velcro, and the whole package fits back in the bag easily. The only lifting-related fact is a caution for the BabyBjörn Play Yard Light: It was ranked best overall among the travel cribs tested for ease of use, portability, comfort, quality and eco-health, though testers noted it is harder to put a baby into.",
