We’ve got the Babyden Playpen for my daughter. It’s taken pride of place in the centre of our kitchen/living area and works a treat for being able to leave our daughter play in a safe environment while we do things like put the dinner on.
Reasons I think this product works well:
- Flexible configuration: it can be configured as a standalone pen or can be secured against a wall
- Solid construction: the build is of a very high quality, and you can tell the product is going to last
- Easy to assemble/disassemble: in theory you could disassemble and take this away for the weekend to say, the grandparents’ house
- Looks good: once you get over the similarity to a prison cell, it does look quite good in a living room, especially with the floor mat that’s included
- Order! okay so I am sure your baby has more toys that you can pack in here, but at least you can put some order into the living room floor again and not have to sit on a plastic toy when you want to watch the news
- Security: if you do need to put baby down for a few minutes, e.g. to answer the door, this is the safest way to do so and ensure that they won’t crawl off
The downside is this product is not cheap, but then what baby product is these days?
Babydens are something worth looking at once your baby is at 6 or 7 months. When they start to crawl, even a short distance, it’s definitely time to get one of these in place.
