Superyard Colorplay Ultimate North States Reviews Summary

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "This gate was perfect for our 7 month old. He is mobile now and this allows us to set up an area that is safe for him to roam around in."
• "This gives my baby plenty of room to crawl around and I know she'll be safe if I need leave the room for something."
• "Easy to stow."
• "For the price I would say it's a pretty good gate."
• "This one is very sturdy and we use it to go around outer area to protect our kiddos and dainty items on shelves."
• "This product is sturdy and works."
• "It pretty much stays set up in living room."

Cons:

• "The door is not as easy to open as I hoped."
• "The gate latch seems very poorly designed and is NOT easy to use - it cannot be easily opened or shut with just one hand without the entire play yard lifting up."
• "I find the connected panels very difficult to turn and position in the right angle."
• "It feels like you are going to break it when you’re folding and unfolding it."
• "This gate is so flimsy and I’m so disappointed because it is not worth the amount of money it’s listed for."
• "Gate is almost useless as the hinges don't hold it in place and you have to lift, slide a button over and hope the whole fence doesn't move around all at the same time."
• "Unfolding them is tough, it feels like you are going to break something."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "BUT ours broke posted about our problem the company answered back and sent a new piece."

• "Can I just say that I had to deal with this brand’s customer service and it was excellent."
• "We love it and we already buy Superyard for a second time."
• "I bought this instead of a competitor because of the positive reviews stating that the company replaced panels damaged in shipping/manufacturing."
• "I contacted the manufacturer North States IND and they told me to check the other side of the box where I had not opened it."
• "We've had this gate for a few month now and it is holding up amazingly well and everyone in the family can easily open and close it."

Cons:

• "Honestly if we could give this ZERO stars, we would."
• "It arrived chipped and I messaged the company at that moment. No response at all from them weeks later."
• "The door broke after one month!"
• "We bought it because it says the wall mount kit comes with, it does not."
• "Hoping this is covered under warranty because it feels like a defective product."
• "I’m very disappointed how this arrived, it looks like it was damaged on the way here and the gate got scraped."
• "This product very badly needs competition to crush them."

Stability and Safety

Pros:

• "She is now 4 lbs now and is secure. Sturdy."
• "Because we kept it up outdoors in our gazebo it would get dirty… But found it soooo easy to clean and wipe off because of the plastic type material it’s made from."
• "It's sturdy and doesn't fall while free standing."
• "The door had safety features so your baby can't just push the gate door open."
• "The panels are high enough to prevent my dogs from jumping out, and the gate is secure and simple to open and close."
• "Absolute best gate product ever"
• "He jumps, chews and tries to pull on this pen but it’s super sturdy once secured!"

Cons:

• "Not stable enough to trust with littles unless you fully attach it to the walls which we didn’t want to do."
• "When my granddaughter hold on to it, it’s moving and the baby ends up with no stability."
• "I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE MODIFICATIONS FOR BARRIERS FOR CHILDREN OR LARGER PETS."
• "It is SO FLIMSY, does not take into account that some walls have base boards and even if successfully installed on two walls, any baby that is older than 4 months aka MOBILE will topple this thing over in 10 seconds."
• "If you have a hardwood floor, a one year-old can easily push this around, which could be dangerous."
• "The problem is, that because the parts are not heavy enough. You’ll need two hands to operate it."
• "But the gate doesn’t really work. It’s very flimsy and the latch system doesn’t line up.. you have to really work with it to get it to latch."

Portability and Convenience

Cons:

• "The whole thing is hard to manipulate into desired shape and is not very portable."
• "It’s not as easy to fold."
• "To pre drill the holes was difficult to get it to align straight and at the right height from the ground."

• "UDATE❗️04/29/2021, Still “like” mainly cute, roomy BUT.........it is VERY WOBBLY, and DOES NOT OPEN EASILY AS STATED."
