the best play yard, ever!

If you find yourself having to constantly stop your little one from crawling somewhere dangerous, or somewhere you don't want her to be, then the North State-Super XT Portable Playard and Gate is for you. Or if you happen to have multiples, then this one is definitely for you!

When my twins started to crawl, I used a make shift barricade in my living room: pillows, chairs, etc. But several weeks later, they can crawl over everything so I could never find them where I left them! To preserve my sanity, I finally looked into a play yard and this is what I found.

I had to order it online from Wal-Mart, since it wasn't available in stores. But I did take advantage of their ship-to-store option. It came to me in a big square box with what you see in the picture. It folds up nice and flat and it is easy to put together. It came with 6 panels, which fit the twins and I (I can even lie down but can't stretch my legs if I do so), though we did go ahead and ordered the extension panels (the extension comes with 2 more panels). With the extension, it can fit both me and my husband (lying down with our legs stretched out), our 1 year old twins, and our 3 year old son with the kids able to play comfortably.

We have a carpet in the living room, so it pretty much stays in place. But if you have wood or vinyl, you'll have a problem with it moving. It is also great for travelling because it folds flat.

At Wal-Mart.com, SuperYard XT cost us $49.84. The extension cost $19.36. I paid nothing for shipping, but did have to pay for tax. I compared prices online and the best deal is at Wal-Mart.
