I am concerned about the hard postings at the corners. My baby is crawling& pulling himself up and fall back. Anyone have a probl. w. baby hitting it?

I did not have a problem, however, I am not sure I understand your concern. I am a grandmother of 3 under 5years of age and a mother of 2. I used a playpen (especially this one) with all and I never had anyone hurt themselves. If anything, they learned to hang on so they would not fall backward. A great incentive to move forward around the playpen.

No. It is really no different than if baby was in a pack and play or the crib.

No problems. There are no sharp edges and this has not been a problem with my grandson who is also crawling around, pulling himself up, etc. I continue to be very happy with this item!

Hello, Sandra! My baby is 1 year old and walks quite well- sometimes he pushes it and it slides on the floor (without carpet) but doesnt tip over. If baby doesnt have good coordination and you dont have a carpet- the baby might hit the floor(

It seems normal. You kind of spread your knees a bit for peddling, but other than that, seems normal, and your kids head is slightly below yours, so no line of sight issues. I like this a lot more than having to strap them on the back or having them in a trailer. You can talk with them, while they point out things they see along the way.

No. My baby is super active. She shakes her pack and play back and fourth like crazy. I was worried that she would be able to move this play pen around. I started using this playpen for her and she does try to shake it but it stays firmly In place. I've used it both on tile and hardwood floors. Just make sure all the suction cups are pressed firmly down if not she is able to move whatever section is not secure. Also I've noticed that it entertains her better and shes distracted by the toys on the sides and on the floor. She feels independent and doesn't shake it like crazy

I'm with you all...just turned 8 months, sleeps like a lamb in the RnP, but is so active that she can't sleep in her crib. I'm all for letting her cry herself to sleep at this age, but we live in an apartment and I'm trying to be aware of our upstairs neighbors. Ugghhh...this is frustrating. :(

Hi there,Thanks for your input. We ended up buying this rocker for our baby before he was born (he's now 9 months, so it's all packed away now). We loved it! We had no problems with it tipping. It's funny to see that I was so worried about it in my third tri-mester state :-)

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it. So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous. All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months. Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play. I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

It is definitely poorly worded. The only crawl through is on the top of the slide. We used the slide dry, so technically they slid down and then bounced on the bottom of the climbing wall.

No...which is a big pitfall for me! My daughter (17 months) and all the other daycare kiddos I watch (between 16 months and 24 months) just crawl inside, put their hands on the wall of the tent, and run across the floor with it :-/ I had to pack this tent away for later and buy a smaller tent with a floor so it's more difficult to shove over.

I haven't tried that but it seems to key in on the baby's movement more, however any movement will make it think all is ok. Try to only use it in a static environment where the baby is the only thing that can move.

It has been a while since I used it but it I remember it being quite cushioned. It does depend on the age of your child. If your baby's head is still wobbly, and their is a chance they could accidentally knock their head when rolling over etc, I think the wood floor directly underneath will be too hard. I also have wooden floors but lots of rugs too, and it was generally placed on top of a floor rug and not directly on a the wooden floor.

My grand baby is not here yet, although I have raised 4 kids and the firmness of the mattress seems appropriate to me for a newborn and older child. In reading reviews for the foam mattress I thought there were too many comments about the foam one being hard like the pack and play bottom. I was trying to provide something more comfortable than this while remaining safe.

Hi there congrats on new baby!!! My baby was born a month earlier and her we has to work on her weight due to her early birth but I put her in the cangaroo bag when she was a month and a half . I had a cheaper one but it didn't offered a solid back support but this one is perfect. I am not going to lie I have tries several and they are all kinda complicated to put on and then of but I like this one. Hope I could help :)

I put my two month old in it in the fully reclined position. She is fine. I don't run with her in it yet though. We just walk.

haven't had the problem with the food, but it is hard to get the baby out. Ours is big, and it is a 2 person job.

I think we lowered the mattress when our son was able to reach up and grab the bumper - we anticipated that he would be pulling up - sometime before he pulled up on the sides. My second son is 4 months and hasn't rolled over yet, so we haven't lowered it yet. If you have to ask yourself twice, that usually means just do it! You'll feel better. What's it going to hurt? It's better to lower it too early than too late.
