This product is great, you can put it up in minutes, again the same with packing it away. Once packed away in its convenient carry sack, it takes up no room at all(great for when space is limited). The only downside to this is that it doesn't have a cushion lining for the base, however I found a quilted blanked (or such like) does the job.

Very quick & easy to set up & put away. So Light can be carried easily even when set up. Great for in the garden, can't wait to try at beach. Haven't found any cons so far.

My grandmother suggested a playpen as my little man is getting more and more adventurous every day! She even paid!
Use daily, both inside the house and in the garden. The UV shade is very useful while the weathers nice, plus plastic base good when putting onto grass. Folds neatly into bag, which enables easy transport - have put over back of buggy.
Only pitfall is it doesn't come with a cushioned base - we've resorted to putting a single duvet in the base.

Great product, really easy and useful. The only improvement for me would be a slightly larger play area and a soft self-inflating base like a travel cot we have.
As it stands, the base is just a tarp type material which will be waterproof and durable but provides no cushioning on a harder surface.

Perfect for inside and outside the home. If we can fit in the car, with everything else, we'll be taking it on holiday!!
from Thornton Cleveleys, Lancs on 5/19/2008
The playpen is used outside and inside - very versatile. Is a good size to give room for baby (aged 8 months) to play but folds up very compactly. The base is waterproof which is very handy however is thin so if placed on a hard surface there isn't any padding. I put a blanket in the bottom - not a serious issue at all. The item has a hatch on the side for when baby begins to toddle so means that a child can use it for longer - excellent value for money in my opinion. [...]

Really pleased with this....so easy to put up and down and even carry in and out of house. Well worth the money.
from Widnes on 5/13/2008
I was surprised at how easy this play pen is to put up and to pack up. Its so easy to use and lightweight but sturdy and feels safe.
My baby is 9 months and enjoys being in there with all his toys as he can see me in the room through the side panels.
from BASILDON on 5/12/2008
Quick to put up and down-crawling toddler safe in garden and in house when phone rings etc. Love it!
from Berkshire on 5/4/2008
Up and used almost as soon as it arrived! Filled it with multi-coloured balls on Day 2! Our 14 month old loves it as a playpen, as her own private ball pool and as a fun den/house! Mummy and Daddy love it because they can now do all the jobs that desperately need doing in the garden inbetween joining in the fun and games that occur in and around the play den! We all love it as we can happily and safely enjoy our garden together! And all our friends with toddlers are begging to come round and share in the fun too!
It's sooo easy to put up and transport. The integral sunshade is such a bonus too, and our DD loves the soft, meshed sides and the escape hatch (when allowed!). Haven't found anything negative to say about it yet ... we just hope it's as tough as it looks as it's going to get some heavy use in the coming months that's for sure!!
from Lincolnshire on 4/18/2008
This play pen is the best thing i've bought. it allows me to get on with stuff round the house knowing that my 8 month old is in the one place and safe
from Stockport on 4/14/2008
This is a great product! I thought that my daughter may object to being confined to a playpen at 9 months; however,now that we have established that i'm not asking her to 'go to bed', she happily plays in there for 15-20 mins without complaining! Just make sure that you keep changing the toys and your child will not get bored.
I added a playmat to enhance the floor area and my daughter loves to crawl out of the door when supervised!
from Portsmouth on 4/14/2008
This was an an excellent buy and my 10 month old son loves his new den!
from sheffield on 4/7/2008
Does everthing it states on the box
SO EASY TO USE. I USED IT TO STOP THE DOG GETTING NEAR WHEN I WAS NOT IN THE SAME ROOM WHEN MY SON WAS NEWBORN & WHEN YOU NEED TO GET ON WITH JOBS YOU KNOW THEY ARE SAFE, GOOD IDEA FOR A PLAY DEN WHEN THIER OLDER ESPECIALLY WITH THE CANOPY. I BOUGHT A METAL PLAYPEN 1ST & HAD TO SEND IT BACK AS IT WAS FAR TOO HEAVY, I WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN & AGAIN & WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

i used as a timeout for my daughter.its great.she loves it.
from Northants on 3/4/2008
We live in a small house with two dogs and a baby that wants to crawl into all the corners and pull on wires etc. Something as simple as making a cup of tea became a real effort because the baby had to be moved from room to room. We chose the Graco playpen because of the meshed sides (so the dogs couldn't get to the baby) and because you can pack it away in a bag.
I highly recommend this product because it does exactly what it promises. It's easy to install, my baby plays happily in it whilst I'm doing small jobs that can't be done whilst trying to stop him climbing into the fireplace and it packs away when we're done.

Really easy to carry and set up. Can be used indoors or out as has a really good sun canopy. I put a blanket in the bottom to make it a bit softer. Is big enough for me to sit in there with baby and play together. My baby likes to pull himself up to standing at the moment and there is nothing for him to pull up on so he did get a bit frustrated at time - but this won't matter when he is a bit older.
from North East on 2/8/2008
Very easy and quick to put up, plenty of room to play, canopy good idea for outdoor use. Very lightweight. Would probably be fine to use as a travel cot if you used something to pad the base, would be great if you got a mattress with it or could buy as an optional extra.
from merseyside on 2/8/2008
Lightweight yet sturdy. Easy to put up and take down. Fully portable and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. I love the mesh panels - no bars for my daughter to fall on.
from London on 1/26/2008
The setup is very easy and only the first time a bit tricky. Oposed to the wooden ones, this playpen is padded on the walls and will only require a setup on the carpet or some other soft padding. Can be used outside and comes with a sunroof. Stores very small and can be used as a 'travelcot'. Highly recommended
from Bangor, Northern Ireland on 1/26/2008
Great playpen - plenty of room and it folds up very small too. Excellent quality.
from Basingstoke on 1/24/2008
This is so easy to put up and down can be done in min's.
Makes a great den in side and the older children put the portiable DVD player in there and make it a cinema.
Worth every penny.
from Littleport, Cambs on 1/21/2008
This product is ideal for keeping baby safe whilst you get on with those must-do chores or answering the door/phone etc! Baby plays happily inside the playpen (with or without the door fastened!) - especially good with balls as a ball pit or to play games with Mummy racing around the outside and appearing at one of the mesh windows. Can be used outside but haven't done this yet as weather not ben too good!
