These high-sided, enclosed play areas are popular because they allow parents to put their baby down with the knowledge that he can't wander off. It is great when you have to answer the phone, do a bit of ironing, or just catch a quick breath!
When purchasing a playpen, look for the following:
• Holes in the mesh should be no larger than 1/4 inch to keep small fingers from getting caught;
• The sides should be at least 20 inches high, measured from the floor of the playpen;
• Look for padding on the tops of the rails to protect your baby from bumps.
• The locks that allow you to lower a side should be out of your baby's reach.
