Kiddy Cots Playpens

Terrible company, purchased on 11th Dec, heard nothing. Sent emails and left messages to no avail. It was only after I threatened reporting to ASIC and Scamwatch, my order was sent on the 29th. Product is average, but they will try and take your money, look at all of the other similar reviews. Show details

Appalling customer service. We ordered our playpen over a month ago and it has still not arrived. Paid $65 in shipping. I have written to the official Kiddy Cots support address twice to see if they can find out what has happened to our order and received no reply. There is no phone number on their website. Do not purchase from this company if,… Read more

like us, you need the playpen quickly when your baby is suddenly on the move.

Incredibly disappointed that nobody has got back to us. Will be telling everyone we know not to order a product from you.

They sent me the wrong item and when I tried to contact them, there is not even a phone number. I have to submit an online enquiry. Incredibly inconvenient. What is the point of purchasing a made in Australia product if you can’t even get help quickly? Show details

Risk of finger entrapment in link connectors – I had the old design of the kiddy cots link 100 6 panel playpen for my older child. Absolutely loved it so decided to buy a new one for my second child. Having used it for almost 1 year I am very disappointed with the safety risks with the new link connectors. The new design with the interlocking connectors that allow you to change the shape of… Read more

the play pen are a serious safety risk for little fingers. Even if baby is supervised it takes only a couple of seconds for a baby to get her finger jammed in the interlock connectors if the baby pushes the play pen connectors outward, which the baby can very easily do. Mine is in the rectangular configuration and my toddler pushes the long side of the rectangle very often. If she is standing by the connector on the long side, when she pushes, the connector gets pushed outward so that a v shaped gap opens up, into which my toddler invariably gets her finger into. Once pushed the connector will automatically bounce back to its original position closing the v-shaped gap and my little one’s finger gets jammed in the connector and she is in excruciating pain. Nothing permanent has happened to her finger yet only because we’ve pulled her finger out immediately. But I am very dissatisfied with the lack of safety with this design.

A beautiful, safe and well-sized playpen – After lots of research for the right playpen in terms of safety and aesthetics, I settled on the Kiddy Cots 8-panel playpen and I could not be happier. The purchase and delivery process was swift and efficient - it was delivered within two days. Configuring the panels was an easy process, as I was guided by clear instructions.  We initially… Read more

used 6 of the panels as our baby was only crawling around a little, and it was the perfect space to keep her in for the periods of time we needed to do things around the house and keep her safe and entertained. As she grew and needed more space, we added the extra two panels and the space grew so that she could crawl more freely and practise walking without us fearing her falling onto hard ground. 

If I had to make any criticism, it's that I wish the interlocking connectors came in different colours as I don't love the blue, but I would take the quality craftsmanship over a minor detail like that any day.

Excellent quality Playpen! – We bought the 3 in 1 Delux Panel Link 100 (directly from Kiddy Cots) for our 1 year old son and we can honestly say that this is one great playpen for its excellent quality and good value for money. Having the six panels, we have the flexibility to convert the playpen from square to a rectangular or hexagon playpen - this gives our son more… Read more

room to play with his toys and even with Mum and Dad inside! As it is about 210 cm long when in rectangular form, we would put floor mats underneath where it stands in our living room and let our son safely practice walking as he holds onto the sturdy panels or as he crosses from one end to the other end of the playpen or as he walks from/to Mum to/from Dad.

The simplicity of the design, ease of assembly, flexibility of size configuration, ideal height (easy to step over), sturdy & natural wood material, reasonable price - all sum up to this one excellent quality playpen that we would definitely recommend to parents who are considering to get a playpen for their little one.

Looks great & perfect size – We are really happy with our Kiddy Cot and baby play pen. It was really easy to assemble, the size is great for the space in our home and our daughter loves her own little space. It took a while to arrive and my only feedback is to update customers on their order if it is going to take some time and or provide them with tracking. Show details

Horrible customer service, still no playpen – I ordered my playpen 10 days ago now and still waiting on it to be delivered. For the amount you pay for delivery, I was expecting it to get delivered to my home. The tracking info never gave me an exact date and when I contacted Kiddy Cots, they were incredibly short and not understanding whatsoever. I'm now needing to chase this order myself and… Read more

once I find out where it is, pick it up myself. As a working mum, I'm needing this quite urgently to help me work while I'm at home and now wish I had ordered from somewhere else.

Perfect for active baby who needs space – Perfect for my 9 month old who is very active and needs space to safely roll and crawl when I can’t watch him. Although the size is a tad big for the area I put it in, it was easily modified to fit and looks great! Show details

Awesome product – This playpen is easy to assemble, very spacious and lite to carry. Due to having inside dogs that chew everything I need to set up every morning and dismantle every evening. It is so lite that I can move the panels and put them together in less than 2 minutes. Connectors are a big fiddly but other than that I think it’s a great product. Would… Read more

he awesome if down the track Kiddy Cots created a light weight fabric carry case of some sorts so that it can be taken with us on trips in one piece :)

Beautifully made! – Very easy to order. Arrived very quickly even in Covid times. Very well packaged. Very easy to assemble for a woman in her 60’s. Was surprised how roomy it felt as I only used 4 panels to begin with the idea to enlarge as my grandchild grows. The panels are very well made with no rough edges or splinters. Does not dominate the area with chunky… Read more

panels and busy colours. Feel confident there are no chemicals and that the set is made in Australia! I am sure it will stand the test of time!

Highly recommend – This play pen is huge!! I wanted a big play pen and I got one. I assembled it on my own with a screw driver in under 45 minutes. My baby has loads of room to practice crawling in a safe secure space and it's easy to pull down if needed. It will easily contain him when he's walking and he can safely pull himself up on it. Also the cat can't fit… Read more

through the bars and its too high for the dog to bother jumping it. I absolutely love this play pen, worth every cent.

Happy with my purchase – Bought this for my infant and am very happy with it. I bought extra connectors and had hubby saw a couple panels in half to make my configuration. It is sturdy, safe and easy to use. Looks nice for a playpen too. Show details

Highly recommend – Can't say enough good things about the playpen we purchased. Delivery was next day at our door, easy to put together, looks great, good size, very sturdy and our baby loves it and great price. We picked it cause it met choices safety testing, looked the best and needed something strong that out 8mth couldnt lift up. Highly recommend. Can't fault it.  Show details

Great Australian made product – Delivered on time, as per images and specs online and a great playpen. Can be split into smaller pens if needed and very easy to move. Sturdy construction is reassuring when our little one pulls herself up in the sides  Show details

Great quality, sturdy, safe – Purchased this pen to contain my very active 9 month old during quiet time. This pen is such good quality, versatile and safe to use. Set up was so easy. So much room when all panels set up into a rectangle. Great height and light weight but does not tip or lean when moved. No nasties on the wood. Very good quality products. Show details

Superior Product – Just set up our new kiddy cot playpen and could not be happier with the design, construction and ease of set up. Our bub can now play safely without venturing too far in the room. We will definitely be returning when we want to extend. Wish we now paid the extra for the 8 panels. Show details

Great quality and great price – This playpen is very easy to set up and use in multiple different shapes and configurations to suit my needs at the time. It packs up easily into a corner of the room and is very sturdy for keeping my baby in and my dog out! I love the size, all other playpens I looked at were really small. I got the 70 link set of 6 plus a pair of 100 links and… Read more

use them together to suit my space and the size I want to restrict my little one to. Baby is happy playing in here for ages given the large size.

Love this playpen! – Love this playpen!! I have dogs and I wanted to secure her play area and not have them walk on her playmat or accidentally trample over her. This worked perfectly and it’s so easy to remove one or two panels so my baby is not restricted yet deter the dogs from going into her area. My husband cut two panels down so that the playpen perfectly… Read more

fitted around her play mat I got from munchkin and bear too. This company shipped immediately and it didn’t take long to receive the playpen interstate! I originally brought this item from other website and had so much grief from the staff and owner of that store i has to fight them for a refund! It was such a breath of fresh air dealing with the kiddy cot company as I had no hassles at all! Highly recommend buying your playpen from the kiddy cot website over any other stores!!!!!!!

Versatile but has its weak points – The versatility is really the best thing about this playpen. It can fit any room and is one of the larger ones available out there. It's also fairly easy to assemble (as long as you have a drill). There are a few weak points though. As mentioned by another reviewer the "bottom edge" is just at the level at which my baby hits his head on when he's… Read more

finishing a roll or putting his head down. Due to how it's constructed, the edge sticks out so there's no getting away from it. Also, even though it's light-weight and therefore easy to adjust, it is light enough that my baby (when he kicks or rolls around) actually pushes around the room. This isn't a big issue unless you have something hazardous lying far away and and your baby is determined to reach it. Lastly is the lack of a door. I understand that doors can be a safety concern with hinges and fingers etc getting caught, but with this playpen, you either have to take a piece off every time to get in/out (which is not practical), or lean over the edge to drop your baby in/pick up (which is horrible on your back), or step over the top. The last option is what we've been doing but this in itself is hazardous as it provides a massive trip hazard with a wriggling baby in your arms.

Such a Versatile Playpen – The playpen I purchased is extremely well made and so easy to assemble and disassemble because of the clipping locks. I like the fact that it is adaptable shape wise is a top idea. The wood is smooth to the touch and I could not be more delighted.. Thank you for such an excellent product. I would recommend the playpen without hesitation..  Show reply

Beware cheap screws & inflexible reshaping/collapsing – If the unit had shipped with good quality screws, it would have taken 5 min to assemble, instead its taken allot longer. If we want to change shape/ size looks like we'll have to repeat the process, which is VERY ANNOYING. Perhaps rethink the way it connects? Could be a good unit as is spacious, yet quite an annoying install/change process… Read more

that we are finding problematic.

**Have had a Jolly Kids previously, it's a breeze to set up and change. It is smaller yet wish I'll bought it.

Fantastic product! – The pen is absolutely fantastic and looks great. Safe and incredibly easy to install. We have arranged the pen in a few different shapes with ease. The customer services was impeccable and the product arrived within 24 hours. I cannot recommend this product enough! Another bonus - it's made in Queensland!

Absolutely Fantastic – Thank you so much for your fast delivery and amazing quality. The 8 panel link 100 is perfect for a rectangle playpen as well as a barrier to close off the whole TV unit. I also love the 3 door barrier as it fits perfectly in our extra large double door opening. No other product was able to close off this area for us. Very happy and impressed and it all arrived from QLD to NSW, all undamaged in just two days. Thank you.

Great playpen – I bought an 8 panel version second hand off eBay for $80 - great value. Mine doesn't have hexagon connectors, but I don't miss them or see the point really. It is sturdy, light, easy to assemble. I have a 7 month old who loves being on the move so rolls from side to side in no time. 1x1m is way too small, I always have mine at least 2x1m or… Read more

its maximum 2x2m.

The only down side about this and similar hard wooden or plastic playpens is the inevitable head bumping as baby rolls around and hits the sides. I'd love if there were some soft bumpers you could line the base and/or bars with. That's the only thing a mesh playpen would be better for (but that would be so hard to clean!). I guess when bub learns to sit and stop auto-rolling it will be less of an issue!

The natural wood of the kiddy cots playpens is inoffensive to the eye so looks fine in my lounge. Very happy with it!

Great product, fast delivery – We ordered our kiddy cot playpen yesterday morning and it was on our front doorstep the same afternoon! Very impressed with the speedy delivery and the product itself seems to be of great quality. We purchased the 8 panel and I'm so glad as bubs has plenty of room to play and practice crawling.

Can't fault product or service! – I bought the 8 panel playpen online and it was delivered within 24 hours. The package was intact and not damaged in any way. This product appealed to me because of the versatility of being able to have it assembled in many shapes. The quality is good and it was very easy to assemble. It is being used for our senior dog at the moment but will… Read more

also be used for our baby.

Would highly recommend this product and appreciate the great customer service!

Super speedy Delivery and Fantastic Service – I ordered the Kiddy Cot 8 Panel play pen and stupidly used regular post. The deliver came but there were 3 panels which had pols broken. I emailed Kiddy Cot the next business day and Dean immediately called me to resolve my issue by sending 3 panels with no fuss. FANTASTIC customer service. The panels themselves are great quality and were very… Read more

easy to assemble. My little bub is now safely playing in his own space. Thank you Kiddy Cots and Dean for looking after the customer so well. Highly recommend these guys!

Disappointing quality – After lots of research I chose a Kiddy Cots playpen as it received rave reviews, was a safe, large and natural product and was manufactured locally. Delivery was super fast but unfortunately the playpen I received was not of the quality I expected, especially for the price ($155 on sale direct from Kiddy Kots). The timber was very rough &… Read more

splintered in one section. I felt it was a potential hazard for a little one who wants to put everything in their mouth. I subsequently returned the playpen.

Awesome – We bought this online and got delivered in 2 days. We got 8 pannels so we can have it in different shapes. Hexagon, rectangle or even two seprate squares. Quality is good, wooden made , nothing can go wrong with it. Happy with our purchase and also bub is happy with it.

They got it so right! Safe. Easy. Versatile. Affordable – I've bought three 6 Panel Link 100 play pens so far. Safe: They don't have any coating on the timber so I'm not worried about my boy teething on it. Easy: so quick to assemble and disassemble if you are short on space like me. Also, really easy to deal with their sales staff. I made a mistake on an order and they responded and fixed it within a… Read more

day! Totally my fault, but they helped anyway. Versatile: you can connect the panels to make different shapes and sizes to make best use of the space you have. Affordable: not much else to say on this point. The only criticism I have is that it slides on my floor boards. I'm going to get some rubber pads to stop that from happening. Positives overwhelming outweigh the one negative :) I'd recommend it. Contains my boy when I've got things to do. Also makes for a great gift. Bought one for my sister who has twins and she loves it too! Hope this review helps!!

Really happy! – I purchased this playpen after reading all the positive reviews and I certainly wasn't disappointed. It arrived today, super quick, is really easy to assemble and much larger than I thought it would be. A great Aussie product I would definitely recommend. easy to step over and plenty of room for mum inside too!

Great Quality and Easy to Use Play Pen - Made in Australia!!! – The Giant 8 panel play pen is super easy to use and looks great too! The timber is lovely and impressive that it's made here in Australia. They have good customer service and I would highly recommend Kiddy Cots for anyone looking for a play pen, I like them so much this is the second one I have purchased for a different area of the house!

Fantastic! Baby friendly – I bought this playpen after reading all reviews and I was not disappointed. I bought it on kiddy cots website and its arrived in 2 days. Great quality playpen without toxic paint or smell.Easy to assembly and variety of shapes. I am trying to keep my house plastic free and I wish it will be more wooden toys available made from natural wood.

Great Australian Product – I bought this playpen after reading the reviews on this site. It arrived promptly, though was missing some of the screws to attach the connectors. Kiddy cots sent these to me within two business days. It's such a versatile playpen, I use it to block things I don't want my son getting into, with different pieces in different configurations around the house. Just perfect.
