Friendly Toys Little Playzone with Deluxe Play Center, Orange/Beige

Great playpen. We connected two to make one large area and it is enough space that my son doesn't notice he is in a playpen.The main problems are that the rubber feet can pop off if you move the gates around a lot and there are parts of the gate (where the pieces hinge) that your child can use to climb out. My first child was not a climber so that was not an issue. My one year old has gotten his foot on that piece so I will have to be careful to monitor if he tries to climb out in the future. See second photo.

My son LOVES this! We purchased in January 2015 and originally used it as the occasional "baby jail" to contain him when he first started crawling to make sure he didn't get into things he shouldn't (especially when we weren’t at home) and now at 16 months, we use it as a baby gate to keep him from getting into the cat’s food or litter box. He can easily move it out of the way (we just use 2 panels), but it’s a visual barrier to let him know he needs to stay in the main part of the living room.PROS+Lightweight, easy to move/transport.+Easy to assemble/disassemble.+Fun toys on one side that my son still likes playing with, especially the spinning toys.+Large enough that an adult can sit in there with the kid, great for short amounts of time (but can get crowded quick).+The height is easy enough to step over so adults don’t have to use the gate constantly.+Gate is handy to leave open so baby can crawl in and out.CONS+The keyboard is so annoying I had to remove the batteries.+The price. Worth it, but ouch.+The size is a little small, so not great for extended periods of time or with multiple kids.+Gate is kinda difficult to use, but we haven’t used much.

This product is the dog with the least fleas in the category from what I have seen. The problems we faced with the unit were the flimsy nature of the coupling of the pins and the holes. In addition, The rubber stoppers on the bottom of the unit were easily detached posing a choking hazard the unit is not labeled for. They need to fix this major problem "STAT" before someone has a child choke on the little rubber footer.. It did not last as long as we would have liked for the price. My toddler was able to push it around due to the LIGHTWEIGHT construction without much effort at all. We had to switch to a enclosure with a bottom to prevent him from walking all over the place pushing the playzone along with him. The positives of this unit are the Electronics. They were stimulating without being annoying to the whole room.

I bought 2 of these to ensure my baby had enough space to roam inside. Did a lot of research and this one was the only one I felt was colorfull and entertaining enough for an infant/toddlerr to stay in for any period of time. The panel with toys is what really sold me.Pros:- colorfull and fun for baby- has built-in toys to keep her entertained- fairly large- has a door with a lock, so need to jump over the railing all the time- battery operated musical toys (can take battery out if gets too annoying)Cons:- cheaply made (lock one one of them broke in 2 weeks and the panels constantly detach from ach other at the slightest push)- my 16 months old toddler keeps moving the panels around changing its shape into noting that resembles a playpen- no way to lock in the panels from changing shape and/or detachingI'm still happy that i couse to go with this one and not the ones that resemble a puppy playpen, but wish it would have been better made. I spent a lot of money for the 2 and feel like could have found a better uality product for the same amount (thou maybe not as much fun for my child)

I have to echo the comments of many other reviewers here: this product really helped us out. Our 8 month old son had just started crawling, and after just a few days, you couldn't put him down without him making a straight shot for someplace we prefer him not to be. All the baby-proofing in the world doesn't eliminate every piece of furniture or possession that we prefer he not be tugging on.I was surprised there aren't more products like this on the market - I found two primary options, this one and those higher thinner gates that are also marketed as indoor pet fences. I wasn't offended by that, but I did feel that those were too high, and didn't seem catered to our particular need. Even though they were half the price, I opted for the more baby-centric solution, the Little Playzone.Other reviewers suggested buying two of these, and I couldn't agree more. YES, it's a lot of money, but a single playzone is akin to a playpen - way too small for our child to really crawl around, and too small to really play with him much within it. Two playzones gave us over 50 square feet of space. My wife and I can both hang out with our son within it, have tons of toys in there, and plenty of leftover space to move around. What's more: he loves it - he doesn't fee caged in at all.We've only had it a few days, and it has really changed the way we are able to play with him, and ensure he is safe when crawling around. With all the other baby products on the market, I can't believe more companies aren't creating variations of this product, with different colors, themes, wall sizes/shapes, playstations, and accessories.
