Sherman Oaks, CA – Although playards offer infants and toddlers a safe and comfortable crib away from home while traveling, a place to play, or take a nap, they can also be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria that can lead to allergies, viruses and infections in already susceptible infants.  Between uses, playards can grow harmful bacteria, build up dust and attract tiny bugs that harvest on crumbs or dried milk, leaving germs eagerly waiting for little mouths and fingers to pick them up! Coverplayard™ offers parents a safe and effective way to shield their young children from exposure to potentially harmful germs, while also making their child’s playards pop with color and style.

Coverplayard™ is the first slip cover available to make portable cribs and playards like the Pack ‘N Play® more hygienic.  Simply place the slipcover over the playard to help reduce the amount of direct contact with germs and bacteria that may be lingering on the rails and surfaces and then simply pop it in the washing machine periodically or when it gets dirty.  It is perfect to use at home, while traveling, and especially beneficial for daycares which can have multiply children using the same playard for naptime.

“My sons were both constantly getting ill or suffering from allergies due to dust, germs
and spit-up that I just couldn’t clean off my playard without using harsh chemicals.  I searched high and low for a washable cover and when I couldn’t find one on the market – I created it myself,” explains Allison Costa, creator and president of Coverplayard™.   “Whether at home or traveling, it is impossible to keep playards completely sanitary and free from dust and unfortunately, most parents tend to forget the importance of products that help protect a baby from germs.  Every parent will recognize the value of the Coverplayard™ and won’t be able to imagine using a playard again without one!”

Available in a variety of bright colors, cool designs, chenille and cotton/lycra fabrics, Coverplayard™ is also an ideal way to add color and style to a child’s play area.  Coverplayard™ is machine washable, pediatrician recommended and comes complete with a coordinating bag for easy storage and portability to take to hotels, parks, the beach, or even grandma and grandpa’s!

About Coverplayard:

Allison Costa created Coverplayard™ after trying to reduce her children’s exposure to germs.  Allison’s two boys were born premature and constantly getting sick as they grew up.  The boys spent a lot of time playing in their playard, and it became increasingly difficult to keep it clean.  Their playard also wasn’t as fashionable as Allison would have liked, and while travelling she realized that the playards provided by hotels were dirty.  Allison created Coverplayard™ as a solution for germs and making travelling a cinch while her boys enjoy the different colors and patterns of Coverplayard™! Her partner Amy Feldman has been a designer of children’s products and accessories for more than eight years. Teamed together, this dynamic duo has a creative edge that is unstoppable.  For more information about Coverplayard™, please visit www.coverplayard.com or call 818-804-1436.
