QuickSmart's 3-in-1 Play Yard

By Judi Dash

Special to The Miami Herald

When space, and time, is at a premium, the 3-in-1 Play Yard from QuickSmart can make traveling with a baby less cumbersome. This easy-fold aluminum-frame combination play pen, bassinet and changer measures just 24 inches by 27 inches by 9 inches deep when folded, and weighs a relatively light 16 pounds. Corners have double locks for secure assembly. When open, the play yard measures 45 inches by 27 inches by 30 inches deep. The included bassinet/changing table insert (24 inches by 26 inches by about 14 inches deep) can be removed for more play space. Pockets at both ends hold supplies and/or toys. Intended for children from newborns to about 30 pounds, the play yard comes with a nylon storage bag for transport. Good news: no assembly required.

QuickSmart 3-in-1 Play Yard is $249.99 at www.quicksmartgo.com; 855-438-6827.

SeaWorld introduces Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin

SeaWorld Orlando’s new Empire of the Penguin, which has its grand opening Friday, is a fun family ride that tilts and twirls gently through an artist’s impressionistic re-creation of Antarctica and ends up in an icy penguin habitat where a visitor could easily watch the antics of the real thing for hours -- if only it weren’t a bone-chilling 30 degrees. 1369367219
