Popular playpen and play yard brands available at Playpens.com
Graco
Graco playard designs are so popular that the Graco Pack 'n Play® name is often used as a generic term for playards. That popularity is due to how portable, durable, and easy to set up and break down they are. Graco offers a wide variety of affordable models, with prices generally ranging from about $70 to $200.
Baby Trend
Baby Trend has created a number of innovative, award-winning products for infants. Its baby play yards offer a lot of features - removable bassinet, music player with MP3 outlet, changing table, etc. - for not much more than $100. The Baby Trend Nursery Center line of play yards has received top marks from consumer reporting agencies.
Chicco>
The Chicco Lullaby LX Playard line rivals the Graco Pack 'n Play in popularity, and with good reason. Chicco's "4 in 1" design includes a portable play yard, infant bassinet, changing station, and removable playmat with toy gym, plus a host of other features for comfort and entertainment - including the ability to roll when folded, which is good, because Chicco playards are heavy. Consumer Reports has rated Chicco play yards as the best for safety.

If you're looking for an enclosure-style play yard with interlocking panels for indoor or outdoor use, Summer Infant's SecureSurround line deserves consideration.
