Are you
Planning on crate training?
You want to get a crate that is
big enough for the puppy to be able to stand and have a
little space to move around. You don't want it too big
to discourage your puppy from going potty in the crate.
A full grown lab will take an extra large sized crate about
31H, 42L x 28W x 30H, so I recommend getting a
medium size to start with then purchasing the
extra large when the puppy out grows the first one.
That way you’re not buying a bunch of sizes. Make the
crate as comfortable as possible and never use the crate as
a form of punishment, you want your dog to see the crate as
its ‘safe place’.
As far as a play yard I like
this one for young puppies, to get one for when your puppy
is older I suggest getting a taller one so they don't
just jump over it:

For young
puppies that are still potty training, I like these pee
pads because it helps with the smell and they stick to the
floor and remove without tearing apart:
Amazon.com: Glad for Pets Activated Carbon Puppy Training
Pads, Giant Size, 24 Count - 2 Pack | Charcoal Puppy Pads
for Dogs, Large Dog Pee Pads | Super Absorbent and Leak
Proof: Pet Supplies
I have free
fed the puppies with a feeder. I recommend free
feeding because Labs grow so fast and have growth spurts
where they will eat more during those times and not so much
when they aren't. Here is a good gravity feed feeder
and water dispenser combo:

Water Dispenser Bundle, Large (2.5-Gallon Capacity) :

I love this
water bowl but it needs to be hooked up to a hose so goes
great outside. I actually had a plumber put in a facet
in my laundry room so I can have it in the house and I have
it sitting on a tray to catch the drips from the labs
drinking. I never have to fill the water bowl anymore!

another gravity feeder that holds more food:
