Browsed a LOT of playpens and this was my favorite
I am really happy with this playpen. First, it's attractive and easy to assemble. It's far larger than I expected---I got it to go with the baby playmat by Cushmat that I also bought on Amazon, and it was an ideal fit. I'm sure it would fit a lot of large baby playmats. I did *not* need to get any extension panels for my 9 month old to have *plenty* of room to crawl. It is very sturdy, and it doesn't budge when she pulls up on it or when my older son bumps into it when he is running around. I also asked the question regarding its specification that it is US CPSIA approved. If you contact the seller, they can show you where to find this information. Safety is important to me, so this was an important consideration as well. While this is quite heavy so I doubt I would want to haul this around, it is nice that it could be folded. However, it'd take a little work to do so with loosening all the hinges. I doubt I would ever transport this around. My only dislike would be the white markerboard. As mentioned in other reviews, it is actually a sticker. I found it difficult to get the sticker to attach evenly without any air bubbles underneath it, and I therefore pulled it off and tried to replace it. Then I worried that my child may figure out how to pull it off since it came off fairly easily, and ultimately I decided not to use it. But that's really not a dealbraker. The other toys on it are very nice and secure.
UPDATE OVER A YEAR LATER: I like to come back to old reviews and update to let you know how it held up. With my child so active now and running throughout the house, I actually converted this to a ball pit after purchasing plastic toy balls from Amazon. She loves it! It has still held up so well, and it hasn’t lost any of its function. Still very happy with this product.
