Evenflo Eris One-Hand Playard with Bassinet review

The Evenflo Eris One-Hand Playard with Bassinet is the play yard for parents who want help with soothing. Its SensorySoothe technology bar has integrated lights, music, sounds and a toy, and you can control those features from the Evenflo app. The frame opens and folds with one hand. There are two modes: an infant bassinet for sleep from newborn to 5 months or 20 lbs, and a full-size playard for children up to 3 years, 30 lbs or 35 inches. Complete 360° mesh panels give visibility and a zip-open side panel gives easy access to the child, and wood-like accents aim to fit a living room. At 28.62 lbs it is one of the heavier models here, and Evenflo backs it with a 90-day limited warranty, shorter than UPPAbaby's 3 years or BabyBjörn's 10. At $206.99 on sale it costs less than the Chicco Dash while adding the soothing bar.
