Great toy -- buy 2 and forget the extensions

Our son loves this -- he doesn't think of it as being a "cage", but rather as a fun play area. He hardly ever cries when we put him here, unlike his play pen.
Suggestion -- buy 2 sets, which is equivalent area wise to buying 4 extensions, but costs less (especially with shipping), and provides 2 gates and 2 activity walls, unlike the extensions, which are just plain blue walls. A single set is no bigger than a playpen.
Another suggestion -- remove the bear stickers (which are on the blue walls) or turn these walls inside-out so that the sticker is on the outside of the play area. Otherwise, your child may tear off (and eat?) the sticker.

| my 6 month old daughter loves to wiggle around and a regular pack-n-play just wasn't big enough, she would often cry because she would not have any room. with this little playzone she can roll around and move with no restrictions. a happy baby makes a happy mommy. we purchased 2 extension kids to make it a bit bigger. my 2 year old son loves this toy too, he thinks it's fun to turn it into a fort. |

Our 10 month old son is all over the place. He is into everything so we thought we would give this a try. We bought two (from EBAY as a pair - saved almost 50.00 including shipping). Over all this is a fantastic product, and great for keeping little ones out of danger when you can't hold them or watch their every move.
The Good:
1. The Playzone is thick plastic which is sturdy and so easy to clean.
2. The colors are nice (red, blue, and yellow)
3. Has built in play wall which my son loves.
4. If you buy two you have tons of room. There is enough room for my son, his cousin, my husband and I all to fit in and have room to play and move around.
5. Has a gate that is childproof. We have not had any problems unlocking and locking it. Anyone with children knows that anything childproof is more of a hassle to use.
6. The walls are about two feet tall. They have enough height to keep him inside yet short enough for him to look over and feel less confined.
7. Easy Easy to put together and take apart.
The Bad:
1. If you decide to take down the pieces are very big and will not be easy to store. With two Playzone's dont even bother with storing anywhere but in an attic unless you have a whole closet or bedroom out of use. |
Great, safe fun

| This was purchased for my grandson and the squeals of delight when he got in it for the first time were definitely worth the money spent. It is so big that his daddy who is 6'3" tall was able to sit down in it with him. It is easy to clean and very sturdy. The activities especially the buttons for the various songs were no trouble for this little guy. I look forward to bringing it in the house for him during the winter months so he'll be able to enjoy it year round, but I especially like having it outside during the warm summer weather. One word of caution, if you have it outside and have the playmats underneath, make sure you don't have it in direct sun. The playmats will melt due to the mirror, as I found out the hard way. |

My six month old recently started crawling and was getting into everything...the fireplace, pulling on cords, chewing on the dog cages etc. I needed something that I could put him in while I did dishes, cooked, cleaned etc. This is great! I ordered the playpen plus 3 extension kits on ebay (its cheaper that way) and now he has tons of room to crawl around. So far he has not protested being in there, which was not the case for his pack and play. Those things are just too small to use for an active baby.
If you buy, I'd reccommend at least 2 extension kits. The play wall is fine, but could be improved. My son loves the spinning things above the keyboard, but when he plays with them he is always inadvertantly hitting the keyboard below. Trust me, this can be annoying as the keyboard is a little on the loud side. |
