Parents rely on playards to provide a safe space for their babies to sleep and play. While portability makes them convenient, they are often bulky and difficult to set up, requiring a tricky sequence of steps in order to open and close. Based on this insight, the 4moms breeze leverages design thinking to greatly enhance functionality. The 4 moms breeze’s innovative folding mechanism enables it to open in one easy step by pushing down on the ergonomically easy to reach central hub. The 4moms breeze then latches automatically. It closes just as easily by pulling up on the hub in one fluid motion. The playard’s multifunctional design concept integrates a removable bassinet and a portable changing pad. For added convenience when travelling, the playard can be stowed in the travel bag. The subtly trapezoidal shape when open reinforces the intuitive functionality of the 4moms breeze. Its gracious, clear lines complement most contemporary interiors. Designed to meet the needs of daily life with small children, the 4moms breeze not only provides a safe space for rest or play, but also fascinates with its functionality and aesthetics.

The consistent functionality of the 4moms breeze facilitates both easy set up and convenient portability. The bottom central folding release is the highlight of the product. The ability of the play yard to adapt to the growth of the child constitutes another perfect design solution. With its clear and subtly trapezoidal language of form it manages to lend play yards a novel aesthetic.
