The
Experience:
On
opening the box, DreamBaby didn't fail to impress me with their
design, the first thing I noticed was the weight of the play-pen. It
was heavy and that gave me peace of mind. I knew it wasn't going to
be moved easily by a young child. I flicked though the instruction
book then started putting the play-pen together and adding the gate
extension, it was easy enough to work out taking me about ten minutes to set up. Adding the gate extension made the play-pen into a 8 panel
larger play-pen making it easier to be used by my older children.
Over
the 4 weeks that I tested the pay-pen I have used it mostly as a safe
area for my older son to play "big boy lego" and other games that contain chocking toys away from my toddler. Adding the
extension made the pen a great size to be used in this way. The play
mat has been a nice feature making the floor warmer and softer. It also
made packing up the lego easy as I just tipped it from the mat
straight into the lego tub. I've also use the play-pen mat as a guide
so my son knows where the lego has to stay so my toddler can't reach
it through the bars of the pay-pen. This has been working nicely. My
son use to play lego in a bedroom with the door shut so it's been nice
for him to be in the main room with me playing without worrying his
sister will get hold of the lego.
I'm
pregnant with our fourth child and can see the play pen will get a
lot of use once the baby is born.
The
stand out feature of the play pen is the way it folds for storage.
This feature makes it easy to pack up and take away which I plan on
doing for camping trips once we have the new baby.
I
would happily recommend the play-pen to anyone who needs a bit more
security, in the home with small children or a baby. I would also recommend the play-pen opened as a long gate for anyone with an open plan kitchen/dinning room who don't have the option of a baby gate on a door.
