The Regalo and Summer Infant (Original) pop up play yards are basically the exact same overall product with a few minor differences. My choice about which to keep is based solely on how convenient each is for our specific needs and method of use. This may be completely different for someone else with different needs.
In short, if I would primarily keep it assembled and only break it down a few times a month, I’d most certainly go with the superiorly constructed Summer Infant product, especially since at the time of purchase, Summer was $44 and Regalo was $66 (but new, open box was $38). However, since we only wanted to purchase 1 play space and will frequently move it from the first floor (main space) to the third floor (office) as well as take to friends’ non-infant/toddler-proofed houses, Regalo seems like the better option for our particular needs. Additionally, even though I’m not the most experienced seamstress, I can decently hand repair problems with stitching as they develop.
Both:
*Compact and easy to carry in included bag with strap
*Thin fabric for floor, requires foam mat or blanket between floor and the product if you have hardwood floors like us. (This is NOT the case for the upgraded Sweetlife version of the Summer Infant, currently $89.99 with a padded floor, but outside our budget.)
*Hard cross-bars that others have mentioned could be a safety hazard (but easily fixed with foam plumbing pipe insulation for ~$1.20/6ft piece from big box hardware stores.)
Regalo
Pros:
*Faster assembly (click down two bars at foot level, once removed from carry bag, it takes <30 sec) - likely once I’m more experienced, I should be able to complete this even with an infant in arms
*Can set the tautness of straps around each of the 6 feet, and can maintain how taut when take down for transport and reassembled - important as I will be frequently disassembling and reassembling.
*Fabric (sides and bottom as 1 piece) can be removed from the frame for washing. Although it clearly states not to machine wash (see pic), it does not state anywhere that it can’t be fully submerged to hand wash in a laundry tub. As an alternative, the fabric can be placed in a large hand wash laundry bag for gentle cleaning in wash machines, but I’d probably still do this on gentle cycle and only with mild detergent.
Cons:
*Bottom of fabric doesn’t reach the floor near the outer perimeter. I’m not sure yet what that means for the durability of the seams between the mesh and the floor fabric, but I’d assume the seam will take more stress when little one is playing around the perimeter.
*Poor stitching quality, especially around the upper part of the frame
*Mesh is not as tightly held to the frame on the crossbars, however, this is because it isn’t permanently attached but instead has Velcro’s straps (see pro about removal of fabric from frame)
Summer Infant
Pros:
*Much better stitching quality and therefore likely to last longer
*Fabric at bottom of playpen goes the whole way to the floor, including around perimeter. I’m assuming this will mean that the stitching holding the mesh sides to the floor fabric will undergo less stress and therefore f be more durable
*Mesh is held tightly to the crossbar parts of the frame by permanent attachment points.
Cons:
*Slower assembly (though is still <3min, so it is still great) and requires 6 straps be slid over each of 6 feet and then each individually tightened by a pull down strap.
*Method to disassemble requires loosening of straps and sliding off each foot, so I’m unable to maintain the tautness when moving this upstairs.
*Fabric is permanently attached to the frame and therefore cannot be removed to wash. The Regalo claims you should only sponge/spot clean anyways (see pic), so if you plan to follow those instructions, this would similarly be a con for the Regalo too, making the ease of fabric/mesh removal a relatively moot point.

That's where this beauty comes in. It sits very nicely in our living room by the window, holds a bunch of toys, and keeps baby contained safely for a little while so I can do the necessary things without a little helper if it is not safe or super helpful for him to assist. The bottom being built in is great because they can't push against the wall and move it around the room like the plastic accordian folding gate/fence system that is also popular. That bottom also makes it especially fun for use outdoors when working in the yard, at the soccer field, a cookout, the beach etc. (another model has a canopy to keep the sun off!) It folds up just the size of one of those "chairs in a bag", is easy and quick to fold and unfold, and is very lightweight to haul around when traveling. Great to keep kids safe at grandmom's when it is not particularly baby-proofed.
My big kid (12) can fit in there with the baby, much to both their delight, and he often will throw a sheet over the top when they are both in there to make a fort and play. (He knows the sheet over the top is a danger to the baby when not supervised closely. The sheet is NEVER there when the big kid is not with him watching closely.) I plant to convert this to a ball pit when it is too small for our little guy to stay contained. (Which may be soon, because at 12 months he is a terrific climber, and he is beginning to be able to climb toward the top using ingenuity, stubborness and balance. Many kids will get a LOT longer use as a playpen than this, but the determination to be free is strong in this kid.
A great purchase, and we will use it for as long as possible!

Another reviewer said it was flimsy. Not at all!! It's very sturdy! You have to tighten the straps that are on the bottom of each corner, and the straps hook on the bottom of each leg. That's what makes the sides sturdy. My 6 yr old granddaughter climbs over this to get in to play with her baby sister, and the sides don't collapse or sag. I lean over it a lot to play with the baby and it's strong and sturdy.
I couldn't be happier with this playpen. It's very nice, well made, and very reasonably priced!
A word about wrapping the bars with pool noodles . . . News flash: Babies fall down, go boom, bump their heads. Nothing wrong with keeping them safe (from REAL danger), but jeez people! Why not just make your kid wear a helmet from birth? My granddaughter tipped over today and bonked her noggin on that hard plastic cube toy in the picture. Should I wrap it in bubble wrap before allowing her to play with again? Once, she took a swan dive forward and bumped her mouth on the floor (she's just learning to crawl). Maybe I could re-carpet the house with thick foam. ?? NO ONE hates to see the baby get a boo-boo more than THIS grandma, but try to relax . . they're tougher than you think. :)
