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 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 fo... Read moream 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.Not so great
I do like that you can add panels to get a larger playpen but it is very light and our active baby 6-12 months old would use it to stand up and the whole thing would move. We had it set up on a playmat and improvised double side strong tape to hold it to the ground but then it is not easy to clean the inside if you can't move it. So far I haven't found a practical solution for a playpen and our toddler doesn't like to be left inside it alone anyway. I used piece of this playpen now to secure a safe space in our living room and it is kind of working out for us. At least it looks pretty rather than a white gate!Very versatile
I like that this play pen is versatile (you can customise it to the size and shape you want). It is a bit fiddly to put together but worth the effort as it looks great and contains our little oneone. I like that it doesn't have a gate so fingers can't get hurt or stuck.
Too fragile
Liked it at first. But then our LO got hurt when he was trying to stand up holding to it. Its started bending to his weight and he landed on his neck hurting himself. Personally I don't think its safe for kids under 1yr.Great product
I did a lot of research trying to find the perfect play pen. I was after one that could be left outside, I could see what the babies are doing, was adjustable in size and easy to store. This had it all,We love this playpen for the versatility, the durability and the price! It can be hard to put together but I see this as positive because then it won't come apart and the colours are nice and bright for kids to look at, there is no corners so you can just purchase another whole play pen to add into it to make it larger which we have done.

e is no gate however when there are bigger kids in it I just undoo one link for them to come in and out. It's easy enough to step over to get kids out. Versatility, durability, price Not a con for us but might be for some, no gate.Not so fussed
I thought this would be great! but its not. So hard to put together and my 5 month old would move the whole thing around when he lent on it. Its so light my 18month old actually flipped the whole thing over.. i am pretty dissapointed. would be ok to use outside on the grass but definately indoors on hard floorsToo hard to put together.. flimsy
Terrible
For what it's worth, the magic panel system is a GREAT idea for it's ability to customise it's shape but just does not deliver in construction, strength and ability to do it's job.I can see what it needs to be a fantastic product with a few minor tweaks in it's design. I could also fix the problems with a few products from the hardware shop, but I shouldn't have to.
Returning first thing tomorrow.
BUYER BEWARE!
The concept that you can customise the size and shape to basically fir ANY situation is fntastic, the colours are great for lit... Read more
Awesome
This is a great choice for a kids playpen. At first I was not sure about even getting one, but this has worked a treat. The "magic" panels are great as they click together and cannot break , twist or snap..it is very sturdy material. It has fun colours and is open enough that your little one can see through :)It's a great size that you can put in all sorts of shapes.
Great buy!
Flexible and worth the money
Hard to clip in at first....
Great Playpen - can be made to any size!
Love this playpen - we had a smaller playpen and we wanted a bigger one for our little one so she had plenty of space - it's brilliant. We bought the larger one, which is 2 playpens and I've put it together to fit our rug in the loungeroom - we've got tiles so when she was starting to cruise, and she wanted something to hold onto, at least when she fell, it was a soft landing on the rug.It's a bit hard to put the panels together, but that is good, but I called the manufacturer and they said there was a tip - lift the panels into eachother, an...

d this made it so much easier. We needed to move the playpen for a party, and we just pulled 4 corners apart and put them back just as easily. Legs, arms or head can't get stuck in the panels which is good. Very happy with this playpen Light weight pieces, colourful Nothing so farOne of a kind. Great item
Really love this playpen. Noticed the bad report below. I contacted Jolly KidZ and they said there was a problem with the join when first released to market, but since then they changed the design to the current model. The join is very strong now (infact its quite hard to put together ... but for good reason). Really versatile with different shapes and designs. love it.can make into any shape or size. bright colours
hard to put together, BUT it needs to be so kids cannot break apart (there is a technique to put it together easily)
Excellent
It seems that they have modified the design since the last person left a review as I cant fault it. I love it and so does my babyIts very versatile and its easy to assemble. Its light weight and its very colourful
Questions & Answers
How to pull apart and put together
The plastic panels fit together. You just line them up against each other and push them together or pull them apart.
I have the jolly kidz 4 sided wooden pp. can you please send me the assembly instructions?

This is a different plapen to the Majicpanel one. You could try contacting the company directly and asking for the instruction manual. Have a look at: http://www.colorific.com.au/product-detail/brand... Read more
s/jolly-kidz/jolly-kidz-smart-playpen-square-naturalHow do you put together I am having trouble is there a trick to this?
I had to call the buyer and ask them this - lift the panel that's going to go over the top connection and push it in. They said to put your foot in the lower panel and lift the top panel - once I worked it out, it was much easier. Hope this helps you

it is easy to clip together if you clip the bottom one in first then push it on with the panels held straight as there is a little divet in the front of each panel to let it slide in easily then when ... Read more
you turn it into position they are held together. i screwed some foam mats to the bottom of the playpen and used it inside. this stops baby from moving the playpen and makes a more safe environment.
