BabyDan Deluxe PlayPen 72-360 cm - White

Product Information

Overall, the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen is the best playpen to buy as it’s safe, attractive to look at, comfortable for your baby and incredibly flexible too. Whilst it’s not cheap, the ability to adjust and reposition the sides to suit your environment certainly makes it worth the investment. It can even be used as a room divider with additional wall fixings. How we chose our recommendations Recommendations from real parents

There's no point in buying something that doesn't fit in your front room. Next, look for something with a strong construction, but that is lightweight with foldable features for easy storage or wheels for easy transportation. She used the Pop N Play to keep her baby and dog separate and felt confident leaving her daughter to play in it safely during the day. Playpens are a good idea as they provide your child with a safe place to play independently, especially if they are crawling or cruising. While you’re busy, your child can be occupied with soft toys and books, and a playpen is a great way for them to explore and learn new skills without getting hurt. The types of baby playpens Wooden playpens BabyDan creates secure, danger-free zones for millions of children through their wide range of flexible Hearth Gates, Metal Stair Gatesto fit all types of spaces, Pressure Fitting Safety Gates, handy Room Dividersthat can easily be configured into PlayPens and more. Probably the most versatile, playpens with metal frames are usually adjustable to the shape and size of your room, with some even offering the ability to use as a fire guard or room divider. They tend to be more expensive, but often come with fold-down benefits which make them ideal for travel or for bringing out as and when required. Pop-up playpensI used ours for all three of my sons and all loved it. The large BabyDan one is great. It comes with a lovely, padded floor cover (my son used to always conk out for his morning nap!) and opens out to become a room divider, so is really, really useful” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user wildbhoysmama Our verdict They tend to be eye-catching and durable, but can be on the large side for modern homes. Usually fairly easy to assemble, some plastic playpens can adjust to the size of your room by removing panels. Metal-framed playpens This product is designed for children up to 24 months. However, this guidance should be constantly monitored against your child’s own development, as individual children’s skills do develop at different ages

If you're planning to use this playpen to entertain your toddler whilst you tend to your newborn, it’s also worth noting that it doesn’t have a door. For that reason, you’ll need to be able to physically lift your child – something to bear in mind if you’ve had a c-section. Important: Avoid buying a used playpen if possible, as over the years, several popular baby playpens have been recalled. It's better to buy a new one to keep your baby completely safe or at least research the second-hand model you are buying to make sure that they are still deemed safe for use. For our family, the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen is quite literally, part of the furniture. While not in use by either child, it serves as a great space to store toys and admittedly, a great place to hang a few damp clothes if you’ve run out of space elsewhere. Small children and babies on the move are focussed on exploring everything in sight and, as they are speedy learners, they are permanently on the lookout for new things to play with. It goes without saying then that being placed in a playpen with restricted boundaries may prove challenging for some and not for others. The tests carried out are designed to mimic the actions of a small child looking for ways to break free from their safe playpen space as well as for those who are more than happy to bounce themselves off the sides and treat it like a gym. As everything goes in the mouth to aid learning in this age group, expect your child to mouth, chomp and teeth on the frame and materials no matter how interesting the toys sharing the playpen with them may be.The European Standard for playpens is EN 12227:2010. You can be reassured that all Safetots’ playpens comply with this standard and are retested whenever design upgrades are made, or components changed. These days, there is the odd occasion where I’ll need to separate the boys from playing rough, so our youngest will get thrown in there (figuratively, not literally) to allow them to cool off, away from each other. For our eldest, it’s also become our go-to “time-out” spot. BabyDan Deluxe Playpen: how easy is it to clean? The wipe-down base is suitable for use indoors and outdoors and will keep bottoms dry even when the grass is damp. Indoors, you may want to place a mat or rug underneath for additional padding as the base material is relatively thin. Our parent tester, Beccy, says, "Beyond its safety accolades, I love the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen for several reasons. Its design is sleek and modern (unlike some playpens which, IMHO, can be ghastly), and personally suits our home decor. The fabric play mat itself is detachable and easily washable, and the playpen itself can be easily cleaned with a wipe. I also love the fact you can attach things to the bars, like toys and a baby mobile, to create your own makeshift playden to suit your baby’s age."

Understandably, as they grew even more, their patience with being trapped in “the baby jail” grew thin, and so by the time both of them were walking, the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen served only as a place to find and store toys. The playpen’s extra large gate swings in both directions, making it easier for little hands and feet to navigate as they come in and out of it. Unlike other playpens I’ve seen - like the Venture All Stars Duo Baby Playpen - the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen is sleek and modern. When choosing a playpen, safety features are of the utmost importance, but of course, it’s understandable to want a playpen that also fits into your home decor.

I use a Summer Infant Pop N Play for DD. We have a dog so it is used just as much to keep DD's toys safe as to keep her safe. It folds up fairly small and we have also discovered we can loosely fold it with all the toys/play blanket inside and store it neatly in the corner. It also has a waterproof base, so good for the garden” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user Eryri1981If you consider yourself less than experienced at DIY, you’ll be delighted to discover that you don't need any tools to assemble this baby playpen. It has push-fit panels, which means that it can be configured to suit the shape of your room and taken apart for easy storage. It can even be used as a room divider – convenient if you have pets too. It’s big enough for multiple children (and you) to gather inside, with plenty of space to crawl around, interact, play and explore. There are specific playpens that work really well in small spaces and the Safetots Deluxe Fabric Playpen is most definitely one of them.
