Awful design
Awful design. The gaps in between each panel are way too big. Child can fit arm and leg though it causing them to fall onto the metal bottom circle and get hurt.

Toddler playpen
I love this gate. The problem is… it came damaged. This is my second play pen from this brand… overall it’s great.

Works well, arrived damaged
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this as an upgrade for the lack and play, which our rolling-with-enthusiasm 5.5 month old was too confined in. We are also about to move and didn’t want to babyproof our whole apartment right beforehand, so this has worked well to give her a safe play space and us peace of mind. However, two of the panels arrived damaged and I cannot get hold of someone in customer service to get them replaced. I took off one star for that. I also took off one star for the super annoying “music” the star plays - it is a really grating high pitched whine. Otherwise, it’s great - fits well, the shape is adjustable, the mesh panels make it easy to see in/out, and there’s good room for our baby to play, even with one of us in there with her. Our cat is also very entertained by the baby “exhibit.”

Great for little babies
This was a great play pen for our baby when he was little. My baby isn't even a year old and he can now move the enclosure and the hinges break. It didn't last us 6 months. I'm expecting baby #2 and am in search for a new play pen.

Cute and sturdy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this once my son started to roll and so far I am happy with my purchase. I love that it's see through and not an eye sore. I would recommend although, I wish I could purchase individual panels to make bigger.

Works great to keep my LO “contained”
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to use at work since my LO comes with me. Works perfectly to keep her safe while I work. She loves the hanging activity toy that comes with. It’s easy to set up & move around.

Great enclosure for now
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this because my 6 month old loves to roll, and she was at a point where she could roll 10 feet away if I just turned my back for a moment. The enclosure is perfect for that. It’s easy to set up and use, and she likes the playmat that hangs from the side. Once she starts crawling, I think the enclosure will be too small. I wish individual pieces were available to purchase to expand, rather than needing to purchase a whole second enclosure.

Easy to put together works great as a gate!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super satisfied with this product. Needed a gate for a large door way. This was perfect easy to put together and easy open and close. Love the see through soy little can still me in next room and can still watch her. Absolutely love the cloud pattern and extra wall toy.

Exactly what it looks like
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this for my crawling 8 month old and it is exactly what I wanted/needed. I knocked down 1 star because I find the play space sections cumbersome to take apart. We plan on using it multiple configurations in our home so I wish it was a little easier to move around that way. Besides that, it's great. I love that you can see through the mesh and it's not an eye sore like some other enclosures.

Great space, bad safety design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The enclosure has great space, but in the gap where the panels meet there is a raised large plastic circle on the bottom. The kid will use the gap to grip the panel and pull themselves up. When they fall it directs the head into the gap and directly down onto the circle. Also, the bottom of the panels are metal rods covered in thin fabric, no soft protection.

Great
Love how this can be arranged differently. We don’t have a lot of space and it worked for the area my daughter plays in. She’s only 5 months but rolling since 4 months and she kept ending up on the floor. This is a good way to contain her and looks to work well once she starts standing /crawling

Great concept, but easy to unlock
We've had this gate for only 7 months, and my 16-month-old can open it so easily which defeats the purpose of keeping him safely contained. We are constantly having to sit by the gate instead of playing with him to ensure he doesn't open it. Huge design flaw. Waste of money.

Great Purchase
Originally bought one for a play pen. Great materials. Very sturdy. More appealing to look at than many other play pens. Ended up buying a second to use three pieces as a gate to block my stairs and used the remainder to add on to the original pen and make it a little larger. Fully recommend.

Great playyard
This is very sturdy. Love the design and mesh material so baby can see what we are doing while in the playpen.

Good Option
Like this for keeping 18 month-old in a larger space than pack-n-play. Mesh is sturdy and easy to set up as well as transport to nana’s. Placed cushioned floor mat underneath for additional protection. Issue is that even with locked joints, baby is able to move around and is needed to be enclosed with surrounding furniture pieces. For as much as it costs, it shouldn’t be able to “reshape” when child pushes on it; defies its purpose.

Diasppointed
The actual quality of the product is great. However, the "locks" don't lock. The hinges easily move, even when in the lock position. My husband and I have tried for weeks now changing each panels position, trying to find the perfect angle so that they will lock, and nothing has worked. Our daughter is now able to push the playpen around. Although it is a very simple design and easy to assemble, without the locking feature, the product is useless.
