  "title": "Play yards that are simple to set up and fold",
  "question": "Which play yards are simple to set up and fold?",
  "answer": "Bugaboo Stardust Play Yard: Timed on a first attempt, taking it out of the bag, unsnapping the sides and opening it took 32 seconds; zipping in the bassinet and adding the mattress took 36 seconds. It opened in about a second and folded in about three, and could be opened one-handed while holding a baby. The only assembly is slotting the four feet into the frame, and they need a firm push the first time.\nNuna SENA Aire + Changer: Timed from taking it out of the bag to fully set up with the mattress in place, it took about 1 minute 34 seconds on the first try, and around 10 seconds to collapse. The zigzag leg design really does pop open and fold away with one hand, which testers found far easier than most travel cots. The one-hand fold is real but a bit clunky in practice, probably because of the grippy skid-proof feet; opening is easier with two hands on the short ends.\nNuna PAAL Playard: Testers found setting up and packing down the best part of the product: you unfold it and pull the slider up until it clicks rather than locking four sides one by one, and one button releases the whole thing. A single button folds the playard even with the bassinet still attached. The locking mechanism takes some strength to click fully into place at first, and the tester needed several attempts before getting the knack.\nNuna COVE aire go: The blog describes a slim modern playard that folds small, sets up quickly and converts easily between bassinet and playard. The blog says it folds with one hand and that the bassinet folds with the frame.",
