Best Playpens

Totally worthless product, my 7 month old who is not even standing up can push it around , defeating it purpose. Communication is the worse one. The seller is refusing to take it back and refund . Show details

Lil playpen, easy to move around – This playpen was so easy to put together. It isn't big but it worked well for me as I had it in the TV room so didn't take up to much room. I… Read more

picked it because it came with he plastic playmat, bright colours also easy to move around when we had guests over. Also the price was good. Bright, and easy to move around

Really happy with this playpen - and it doesn't feel like 'baby jail'! – We're really happy with our Jolly KidZ Magic Panel Playpen. We bought it second hand, and the plastic is really easy to clean. The bright colours are… Read more

great and it doesn't feel like you're putting your little one in 'baby jail' because there's lots of space for them to look through (no bars or mesh). Ours has the extension pack, and we have it set up in a rectangle 7 panels x 4 panels (about 188cm x 111cm) with a couple of panels left over. It creates a decent sized space for our mobile-but-not-yet-walking son to play in, and we use it with a foam play mat underneath. Not having a gate has been the only drawback, as you need to be able to climb over the panels to get in to the playpen or bend over them to lift your little one out if they're not standing yet. The panels are about 2ft or 61cm high, which is actually quite difficult if you have a bad back or knees. Other than that, we're very happy and would recommend the playpen to friends and family.

Great playpen – Great playpen for little ones. It is quite big and roomy enough for mommy and daddy to get inside and play with our daughter. It feels very sturdy… Read more

and safe. Once I figured out which way around it goes, it was easy to assemble. I would highly recommend. We bought it with the play mat and the only downside is that the mat is a bit thin. It would have been great if it had a little bit more padding. We had to put a blanket between the mat and playpen to help soften it. But being able to remove the mat makes cleaning so much easier.

Paint flakes off – I bought 2 of this putting together, but I got big headache of this now! My 10 month baby chew it all the time and plenty of paint flaked off. I… Read more

really concern about what quality the paint is. My husband said it wouldnt hurt our babe as it must be a water paint as it made for babies, but I still worried about it heaps, I dont know what I can do for this thing! My husband doesnt want to change another beferent one. Can anyone tell me what' the quility of the paint is please if you know about it?

Fantastic and great quality! – We purchased this to go around our wood heater as the hearth was an irregular size and with this product you can change how many sections you have in… Read more

it. It works well and having a gate makes it very easy to put the wood in the heater. We like how it can be attached to the wall making the area completely child safe. The materials stand the heat well and never become so hot that it would burn a little hand. Excellent quality and worth every cent.

Dangerous - do not buy! – Today for the second time one of the long (4.5cm) screws fell out and we luckily noticed our 11 month old had it in her mouth both times before she choked.

Faulty product needs to be recalled and fixed! – Panel falls apart as others have stated. Some panels click together with an audible click some don't no matter how much you try. 2 panels fell over… Read more

onto baby yesterday (only 7.5 months old). Luckily he wasn't hurt. I have informed the manufacturer and will be returning to baby bunting. I have also submitted a report to product safety people to have it properly assessed.

Do not buy the Babyhood Pop-Up Playpen if your baby is mobile. It is marketed online and on packaging for infants and toddlers aged 6 to 36 months.… Read more

However, the moment a 6-10 month old baby naturally does what every baby this age does leans against the perimeter walls or pulls themselves up to stand the entire frame structurally buckles inward and tips, creating an immediate falling and entrapment hazard.

When contacted regarding this major safety failure under the Australian Consumer Law, Babyhood refused a refund. Their customer compliance team explicitly stated in writing: "The product is a pop-up design and is not designed to function as a rigid weight-bearing support structure for sustained leaning or pulling to stand... some flex or inward/outward movement of the panels is normal when pressure is applied."

To compare a containment play enclosure to a vehicle, their customer service team actually tried to argue that a baby leaning on a playpen wall is equivalent to a parent letting a baby sleep overnight in a pram, calling it an "alternate purpose" and user misuse.

By definition, the primary purpose of a baby playpen is to provide a safe, secure, and contained environment for an infant to play, rest, and safely practice crucial motor skills like pulling up to stand. Expecting a mobile child not to touch or lean on the walls of their own containment enclosure defies basic logic.

Babyhood will likely reply to this review with their standard script offering a "free inspection" to look for a manufacturing fault. Do not be fooled. An inspection is completely pointless because the item isn’t broken it is operating exactly how they intentionally designed it. The issue is the design itself. A baby/toddler containment structure that fundamentally cannot withstand a baby or toddler physically interacting with its boundaries is inherently unfit for purpose and unsafe.

Other reviewers on this platform have noted identical issues with the suction caps failing to stick, panels shifting drastically, and connectors breaking easily under minimal pressure.

Save your money, skip the corporate headaches, and buy a rigid wooden or heavy duty plastic playpen that actually keeps a mobile baby safe.
