Features I want:As with most baby things, I want versatility. I want to spend the least amount of money and get the most amount of stuff. Therefore, a regular playpen seems like a waste of money, because you also need to buy toys, music, a bassinet, a changing table, and storage space in order to get everything you need for travel.
