  "answer": "Bugaboo Stardust Playard: Parent testers found it stylish, super quick to assemble, up in under a minute, and easy to pack away. Very easy to open and collapse in one swift move; it collapses flat and needs no assembly apart from adding the feet. Go With Me Bungalow Deluxe Portable Travel Cot: Cot setup consists of removing it from the bag, pulling it open, pressing down the front centre post and engaging its lock button. Before folding, remove the canopy, disengage the lock on the front centre post and collapse the frame corners together. Chicco Dash Instant Setup Playard: The playard opens instantly with a single push on the center hub. The playard closes instantly with a one-hand pull on the center tab.",
