kid safety
Great safety apparatus. It has really made life easier for our daughter when she wants to work outside. Her son has a safe haven to play in, and his mother doesn't have to worry about his running onto the road. Because of the size, he doesn't mind it either.

Exactly what we needed!
We love this product. We had actually purchased a similar product at a local baby store. However, it did not have a gate feature, it was horrible to open and reconfigure, and part of the plastic broke off of it while my son was playing in it (he was only 7 months old); he thought it would be good snack; luckily he was not injured. So I took it back and started looking online. This product is great--lighter weight, but sturdy, has a gate feature, is taller (for those little ones that like to try to climb) and folds up very easily w/ joints that can be tightened or loosened. I've recommended this to other new parents. It's a life saver (and a sanity saver!)

Looks sturdy, but isn't
I bought this because I needed something to put my son in while I did house work... something roomy. I also purchased the extension. Once he was in it he would stand up against it and it would bend or move so easily. He wasn't even trying to move it or bend it and it would. My mom had the other brand yard and it was much sturdier! I wanted to try this one because I like this brand, but I would highly recommend the other brand. The gate is a nice addition to this one though, and that is why I gave it any stars.

Wonderful Product
I purchased this item with the additional panels for my 7 month old and couldn't be happier with it. We have two dogs so this keeps baby in and them out, not to mention keeping my busy bundle of chaos in a safe place. I have used it inside and it's great. Outside is where I really appreciate it. My son has been trying to 'escape' outside since he could move and it's wonderful to have somewhere to put him so that he can happily play and I can get things done in the yard. I use it with a shade tent, the play yard fits inside and my son is out of the sun. It is truly and wonderful product!

Love it for my yorkies
I have this product for my three toy-sized dogs to be in while I'm at work. They're naughty and destructive otherwise when left to their own devices. Mind you, these are teeny dogs so they can't knock it over. I see in several other reviews where toddlers are able to slide it around to get their hands on things and I can easily see how this can happen. As a dog play yard for puppies and small breeds, it's great!
