BabyDan Deluxe PlayPen 72-360 cm - White

Product Information

The European Standard for playpens is EN 12227:2010. You can be reassured that all Safetots’ playpens comply with this standard and are retested whenever design upgrades are made, or components changed. With an easy-open gate that swings in both directions or can be fixed in the direction of your choice, it’s a completely modular design, so you can locate the door in the place that works best for you.

This is where a playpen really comes into its own as a very convenient safe space to place your crawling baby or younger busy toddler when life throws some multi-tasking challenge your way. Equally, some days there are just times when you need to sit down and have a moment for yourself. Playpens provide that opportunity to continue being part of your child’s playtime without having to chase them round the home, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries and them a chance to experience independent learning. Small children and babies on the move are focussed on exploring everything in sight and, as they are speedy learners, they are permanently on the lookout for new things to play with. It goes without saying then that being placed in a playpen with restricted boundaries may prove challenging for some and not for others. The tests carried out are designed to mimic the actions of a small child looking for ways to break free from their safe playpen space as well as for those who are more than happy to bounce themselves off the sides and treat it like a gym. As everything goes in the mouth to aid learning in this age group, expect your child to mouth, chomp and teeth on the frame and materials no matter how interesting the toys sharing the playpen with them may be. Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 71cm | Age: Birth to 2 years | Material: Fabric (unspecified) | Foldable: No | Assembly required: Yes What we like BabyDan has many different kinds of playpens, and you should choose the one that best matches the needs of you and your child. If you would like a playpen for your newborn, a playpen with a height-adjustable floor will be a good solution. These are great for newborns, as the adjustable floor allows you to interact with them easier. Height-adjustable floors are also useful if any four-legged members of your family are too eager or curious about the child. The more the child grows, the more you can decrease the height of the floor, allowing space for play.Dimensions: ‎155 x 155 x 65cm | Age: Birth to 24 months | Material: Plastic | Foldable: No | Assembly required: Yes (no tools required) What we like I had the Summer Infant Pop N Play, which folded really easily when we weren't using it” - recommended by Mumsnet user Swearwolf Our verdict Dimensions: 121.9 x 2.5 x 66 cm | Age suitability: 6 months to 24 months | Material: Alloy Steel | Foldable: Yes | Assembly required: No What we like The BabyDan Park-a-Kid Play Pen provides baby with a safe place to play and rest whilst you are busy around the home. This play pen also stops little ones from reaching areas in the home that are off limits. The playpen is made up of five sturdy metal panels with one panel an extra-wide door section, which is so easy to assemble. Flexible, high-quality and multi-functional, this BabyDan baby play pen measures 360cm in total and has the option to extend further with additional panels making this a highly sought-after playpen.

If you’re keen to embrace the modern and natural Scandi vibe in your child’s nursery or living space, or are simply looking for a more eco-friendly playpen, the Mokee Foldaway Playpen is likely to be a popular choice. When buying a product to help keep your child out of harm’s way, Safetots believe it is worth investing in one that has been tested to a professionally approved level of safety using rigorous testing methods. With the addition of balls, you can use this playpen as a comfortable ball pit for your toddler, whilst the two integrated loops allow tactile toys to be securely attached for playing inside. The only downside is that this playpen is only available in two colour shades – both of which are blue! Most parents and carers will be familiar with the following scene – your home delivery arrives at the door in the midst of your toddler’s carefree rearrangement of everything in the lounge. Whilst you have a safety gate to stop them getting near the front door or stairs, how do you leave them in an overturned room long enough to bring the groceries or other shopping in?When your baby starts to crawl, cruise or take those tentative first steps, simple tasks like going to the loo or doing household chores can become a challenge, particularly if your child is no longer entertained by options like a baby bouncer. These are better for smaller spaces and are very easy to keep clean. These tend to be durable, which is great if you're planning to have more than one child. Do I need a baby playpen? I use a Summer Infant Pop N Play for DD. We have a dog so it is used just as much to keep DD's toys safe as to keep her safe. It folds up fairly small and we have also discovered we can loosely fold it with all the toys/play blanket inside and store it neatly in the corner. It also has a waterproof base, so good for the garden” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user Eryri1981 BabyDan creates secure, danger-free zones for millions of children through their wide range of flexible Hearth Gates, Metal Stair Gatesto fit all types of spaces, Pressure Fitting Safety Gates, handy Room Dividersthat can easily be configured into PlayPens and more. This product is designed for children up to 24 months. However, this guidance should be constantly monitored against your child’s own development, as individual children’s skills do develop at different ages

As a parent, you can create a safe environment for your child’s play with a playpen. A playpen is also really useful for you when you need to clean, do the laundry or prepare some food. Your child can safely play and have a good time in the playpen without you having to worry about where he or she is going to crawl next and get into trouble. Our parent tester, Beccy, says, "Beyond its safety accolades, I love the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen for several reasons. Its design is sleek and modern (unlike some playpens which, IMHO, can be ghastly), and personally suits our home decor. The fabric play mat itself is detachable and easily washable, and the playpen itself can be easily cleaned with a wipe. I also love the fact you can attach things to the bars, like toys and a baby mobile, to create your own makeshift playden to suit your baby’s age."The wipe-down base is suitable for use indoors and outdoors and will keep bottoms dry even when the grass is damp. Indoors, you may want to place a mat or rug underneath for additional padding as the base material is relatively thin. Another thing worth mentioning is that the playpen can be assembled as a room divider (wall attachments sold separately) or hearth guard. So, while the upfront cost might feel a little high at first, the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen will last for years as your needs evolve. Overall, the BabyDan Deluxe Playpen is the best playpen to buy as it’s safe, attractive to look at, comfortable for your baby and incredibly flexible too. Whilst it’s not cheap, the ability to adjust and reposition the sides to suit your environment certainly makes it worth the investment. It can even be used as a room divider with additional wall fixings.

For those concerned that a playpen is a big investment, why not get your money's worth by opting for one that can be used in a variety of different ways? I got this one because we have a big dog and this allows my little one and I to play without him and ensures my baby’s safe when I nip to the toilet. It's quite large but can be made smaller” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user Yokey Our verdict As working parents who juggle work, childcare, and other responsibilities on a daily basis, we are huge fans of a product that is designed to make our lives easier. The BabyDan Deluxe Playpen has certainly done that over the last couple of years. There are so many different designs and shapes for baby playpens, so you are sure to find something that's suitable for you. Playpen safety There should not be any large items inside that your baby can step on and use to try and climb out.

BabyDan Deluxe Playpen: how easy is it to assemble?

We used this one. We filled it with ball pit balls and toys and popped my daughter in it for toilet trips, getting stuff in the car etc. I also used to bring it into the kitchen when I was cooking so I could chat and play while making dinner (well away from the job or any surfaces!)” - recommended by Mumsnet user MindatWork Our verdict The green-coloured base might not appeal to some parents, particularly if you plan on keeping this playpen up permanently. Parent tester, Rebecca, who used this playpen for around three months says, “The colours aren’t great, but it can be folded away, which I’m glad about!” Easy to assemble and disassemble, you’ll be relieved to know that the BabyDan doesn't need any tools to put it together. You can simply reposition and realign the pieces to suit your environment, even changing the location of the door. I bought a really big playpen from Costway. Definitely worth it” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user seaborgium Multi-use: Safety Gate, Hearth Fire Guard and Room Divider (Wall mounting kit required. Sold separately)
