over they love putting their little ones in with my son and watching them play. I

call it my “LIFE SAVER” and I’m sure in many ways it’s my son’s life saver too. He

has learned a valuable session in what is his space and what is not. It’s called

boundaries and he’s happy and secure knowing that he has them and so am I. At end

purchasing an item like this is ALL about PARENTAL STYLE. I guess I’m a true

centrist when it comes to parenting style; my wife and I wear our son, make his own

organic baby food and he sleeps with us on occasion. But before he started crawling

we knew that baby proofing the WHOLE house was not economical nor at end would it

make it safe for him to wonder. SO I happily purchased a “CAGE” or what we lovingly

call “P’s Play Pen”. I had a “play pen” when I was young and so did my wife. This

was THE SMARTEST PURCHASE I’ve made in baby items.

Here is what we like about it: folds flat, is light weight, comes with a carrying

strap, easy to clean, no sharp edges, has a sun shade (purchased separating), easy

to put together, great resale value (see Craig’s list), sturdy enough for my son to

pull himself up to standing (he weighs about 20lbs), good size without the extension

kit it can entertain three 6-7 month olds easily.

The things that we hope will improve in future; wow at first glance it’s huge (I’d

say about 4.5-5 feet in diameter, the sun shade only covers half the pen, there

wasn’t instructions on how to use the carrying strap, we eventually figured it out,

the snapping sound when collapsing or putting it up can be loud. My wife thought she

had broken it once. That’s about it no disappointing issues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
