How to Fold the ITY Rompity Rest Easy Playard for Travel

Quick answer

To fold the ITY Rompity Rest Easy playard, collapse the top rails, push the floor down, and secure the folded unit. It compacts into a portable size for travel.

Step-by-step folding instructions

1. Clear the playard: Remove all toys, bedding, and any accessories from inside the playard. Check for small items that could interfere with the folding mechanism. Ensure nothing is left inside to avoid jamming the fold.
2. Locate the release buttons: Find the release buttons or locks on the top rails of the playard. These are usually on the sides or corners. Press them simultaneously to unlock the frame. If the buttons feel stiff, apply even pressure on both sides.
3. Collapse the top rails: With the release buttons pressed, push the top rails downward toward the center. The frame should begin to fold in on itself. Do not force it—if it resists, check that all locks are released. Forcing the rails can damage the frame.
4. Push the floor down: Once the top rails are collapsed, push the floor of the playard down to fully flatten the unit. This is a common step that people miss, which prevents the playard from folding completely. Make sure the floor is fully flat before proceeding.
5. Secure the folded playard: Some models have a strap or latch to keep the playard folded. If yours has one, fasten it to keep the unit compact and secure during transport. A secured fold prevents the playard from popping open in the car.
6. Pack and store: Place the folded playard in its carry bag or your luggage. Store it in a dry place to keep the fabric fresh. When setting up again, simply unfold and lock the rails into place. Check that all locks click into place before use.
