Large Play Pen
Before I begin, the specific one we have is no longer available on amazon. I will be linking a similar one that is the same size!
When it comes to needing to doze for a little in the mornings while my baby plays, or cooking with hot oil and worried for her to be in there, this playpen has been so useful. My partner and I’s village is small. We are lucky to have someone watch out kids to go out. This playpen helps us assure our youngest is in a safe space while we need to walk away for a second. Even our oldest loves to sit in it with her and play.
This has been useful the many times it is just me home, and I need to bring in groceries. We live on the second floor so it would take be a good bit to get it all. The playpen helped me make sure she is secure and not able to run out or accidentally gets hit by bags or stepped on.
The playpen comes with pull up bars for kiddos learning to stand/walk. Some do come with other accessories. Make sure you are looking for a floor mat when trying to find the right large playpen. Some do not come with one and will need to buy one separately. Ours came one, and the one linked below does.
