Our little one started crawling not too long ago and grabbing on to things he shouldn’t. So we got this and keep all his toys inside to entertain him. He loves it.

I have another playpen that I use for upstairs. It’s 16 panels and there’s an issue with it. I can’t lock it in place and it uses suction cups on the bottom to keep it from moving around. Costzon playpen is a smaller one which fits my living room perfectly. And it can be locked into any shape that I wanted. I use this for downstairs in the living room when I’m busy doing things. This is great when I want to keep my daughter safe while I’m doing something else. I have to make sure she has many toys to play with while I’m busy. There are stickers and buttons but I don’t put up the stickers. She likes to peal them off and chewing them. However, the structure is very strong and I kinda like this set better than our bigger set upstairs because I can lock it with the plastic screws.

We seriously tell ourselves every day that we have a baby that cannot be contained. Before this gate she had already broken four others. And those were metal. So I did not have high expectations for this all-plastic gate.

Be careful that your baby doesn’t find a rubber peg that easily pops off the bottom and swallow it like mine almost did … and we find them everywhere they are not safe. The gate does its job as a play pen but measure your dimensions for sure because it’s huge and not really suitable for even a large apartment .

For the size and price, this was the best play yard I could find (at the time) on Amazon. It comes assembled, all you have to do is open it up. It's also fairly easy to rearrange the panels if you want to put the the door somewhere else as I did. The inside feels pretty spacious, and my 14 month old son enjoys playing in here. He's on the short side, but his head is still fully visible over the top of the panels. As he gets older I can see him trying (and succeeding) at climbing out, so this probably won't last far past his 2nd birthday. Still, it'll serve it's purpose at containing him while I work from home. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are little suction tabs on the bottom that can fall off. So far these have stayed in place for us, but if you're worried about it you can easily remove them all before putting your baby inside. Also, you'll want to tighten all the chunky plastic screws on the top otherwise they won't be secure from little fingers and the play yard will feel pretty flimsy. As long as your mindful of those things, this is a great play yard!
