Review on Hiccapop PlayPod Deluxe Portable Playpen for Babies and Toddlers: Padded Floor, Pop Up Playard for Beach and Home, Outdoor Portable Playpen, Playard for Baby, Portable Toddler Play Yard by Iration Ahim

After a few months of use we can officially say that overall it's better than California Beach Co Pop N' Go. This is the third item we have purchased from Hiccapop and it has not disappointed yet. Every feature is well thought out! We originally bought the Pop N' Go CBC to use in our garden, house, park, beach etc and only found it really outstanding when you're at the beach. Lightweight material and comfortable for going to the beach. BUT, if you're looking for something more bang for your buck, buy a Hiccapop playpen. PROS: - Much easier to set up! I'm 5ft 1" and am having trouble getting the Pop N' Go playpen center in place. I often need my husband's help. The Hiccapop has 2 secure clips on the side that snap into place with almost no effort. Space.-Machine washable.MACHINE WASHABLE.Yes I said so twice as advertised by the brand.This is a great feature.-Soft bottom is soft and great for babies from 6 months old who are just learning to sit up. Plus it has the added benefit of being built in rather than being a separate part like Pop N' Go. It really fits back in your pocket! There is nothing worse than trying to return something to the bag it was taken from. There is always extra space in the bag provided by Hiccapop (this also applies to their Omniboost seat). Hiccapop vs the 1 on Pop N' Go isn't a necessity, it's more of a fun feature. not for children to play with. The zippers can be closed so you don't have to worry about little Houdini magically opening them and running away (is that a built-in baby superpower?) CONS: Especially for the beach, it's a bit of a nuisance to crawl out of the sand the quilted, padded floor. That's where the thin and light Pop N' Go material comes in - it doesn't come with a dome or top cover, it must be purchased separately. ALL: Would buy the Hiccapop playpen again and again! Much more versatile and user-friendly compared to other brands. Their products have proven to be reliable and well-designed, and they have excellent customer service.
