Which Play Pen ?

A play pen is one of the most useful baby safe items designed to keep babies and toddlers safe inside or outside of the home.

Ideal for popping baby in at a moments notice, when the doorbell rings, the cooker calls, or quite simply as a safe and secure play zone for your baby.

DO I NEED A PLAY PEN?

Other families like the flexibility and freedom a play pen provides, particularly lightweight fabric play pens that can be transferred from room to room with ease. Play pens provide an instant safe zone for your baby or toddler, they can be formed of solid, metal or wooden bars or made of foldable lightweight fabric for ease of travelling (taking to the grandparents or on holiday) and ease of mobility around the home.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PLAY PENS

Playpens that are made up of individual panels that connect together are one of the best baby safety investments. Having more than one function, ensures your playpen can be put to full use, saving you money and storage. When there is no longer the need for a play pen, Safetots multifunctional play pens can be converted to a safety gate, room divider, hearth gate or a pet pen. Panels come a range of sizes enabling you to add panels and remove panels as desired for secondary use. Multi use play pens are available in white metal, black metal and wood. To convert a multi-panel play pen into a room divide or a stair gate, you simply need to purchase a wall mounting kit.

FABRIC PLAY PENS

Fabric play pens are the lightweight, minimal option, ideal for taking with you on holiday, taking to the grandparents or a comfort option for the home. The Safetots Deluxe Fabric playpens are made from strong and durable fabric yet provide a soft, comfortable play safe zone for infants. Being the lighter weight option, these fabric playpens feature suction cups at the base of the play pen, ensuring the ultimate stability and safety if used on a solid wood or tiled floor. There are no sharp edges with these fabric play pens, they provide the most comfortable and safe play zone particularly for very young children.

OUTDOOR PLAY PENS

A play pen is ideal for use indoors and out. Popping up a play pen in the garden enables you and your child to enjoy the summer months safely. Creating an area your child can play, filled with favourite toys enables you to enjoy the garden or work through those garden chores in the comfort of knowing your child is safe. Play pens enable your young child to be with you safely indoors and out, they are particularly great for mischievous toddlers that find it impossible to stay still for even one moment, or a crawling baby who has just discovered there’s a much bigger world out there to explore.

PLAY PEN SAFETY

A child should never be left for long periods of time unsupervised in a play pen. For your child’s safety it is recommended that you check them frequently to ensure their well-being.

Make sure any toys and books are safe and avoid putting in items they can potentially climb onto and hurt themselves.
