I would say this one. The walls are REALLY sturdy, and they lock together really well. My Brandon is 14 months, and is a demolition king. He can't touch this. It is great, and even as he gets taller, bigger, stronger, thus still be an excellent way to corral him.

You will be very happy with this Baby Diego Cub'Zone playpen. Ours is a year old and it looks like new. Our granddaughter is almost 2 now and we will be using it on our 9 month old grandson. They love to play in it. Feel safe knowing where they are. You will not go wrong with this. Strong and sturdy.

very sturdy. My son is one and climbs on the sides and it doesn't move. Easy to take apart and change the shape. Highly recommended

You can make it as big or small as you want. You don't have to use all the panels. If you are not happy with it send it back. We love ours. My daughter used it more at her house and she has a small living room and she made it work.

I honestly can say about the best choice but the Diego play pen is pretty sturdy and easy to set up... if you have a large space invest in two of them as you can combine extra pieces to expand the play area. The pieces have suction cups on the bottom to stick better to hardwood floors..if it's going on carpet then it won't matter...

I should be clear that we are still using the 3-in-1 Graco model that came out before this one for my four-year old. My kids grow big, so we put her in it when she turned 1, and she's still using it, but for only the booster now; it's been 3 1/2 years. We just purchased the Nautilus for my one-year-old, but I'm expecting the same life out of it.

I am the grandmother, so I got this for the times my grandson spends the night. It serves its purpose. I would get the larger size, so you could get a longer use from it. It's a bit awkward to set up and disassemble, but no matter. It's not quite large enough to serve as a playpen (I miss playpens!), but the larger size will get you through the first two years. I think it's much safer than the old port-a-cribs as it sits directly on the floor and there is no risk of tipping.

My 15 month old daughter still has hers on the shortest setting on the adjustable seat. So I think your son will get lots of use out of it. :)

Natalie - i'm trying to find the best tub to bathe my 2.5 yo with my 3 month old. Did this work for you or did you go with something different? Thanks!

Hello hope all is well. I bought this for my then 15 month old boy. Now is 24 month old and still fit nicely. Only one thing with the front tray is to not use lot of clothing that can squish the legs. If is a big boy I suggest to not put the tray but to snack. Its not heavy and to fold it needs practice but in general it worth the price. Two position for child to sleep and canopy that doesnt bother him at all.

Although my son is just 25 months, I would say yes, this is a good product for 2.5-3.5 yr old boys as well. The splash guard is a big help with boys and this seat has one. Granted, depending on how erect his boy parts are at the time, you may still need to hold it down or show him how so he doesn't shoot over it and onto the floor. But that is the case with any of the potty seats, even those with splash guards. That said, this seat is also nice because it is padded so it's comfortable for them to sit there a while if they need to while they try to do their business. The suction cups hold it in place well too so they feel sturdy while they sit on it. Although my son is just 25 months, I would say yes, this is a good product for 2.5-3.5 yr old boys as well.

Depending upon size of child, I would suggest up to age of two. It is sturdy and seems well built. If the mattress is set at its lowest a child could sit and play in it somewhat but as it cannot be lowered to near the ground I would say use as playpen for short period of time and where an adult is present.

I have both the Baby Bjorn and this one. The Baby bjorn is made of sturdier plastic and has more of the base touching the floor. It's a little more narrow than the Summer but the back is slightly taller. The Summer potty seat seems plenty stable and is wider across the "seat" (the part their tush would be sitting on). My daughter is really tall and big for her age (37 lbs, 42" tall, size of an average 4-5 year old). I would say she fits on the Summer seat better and her knees are at a right angle when she's sitting. On the Baby Bjorn, we had to put something under the potty seat to raise it up because her feet were falling asleep. I bought the Summer as a back-up seat but it's just as good and much cheaper!

I can only say that my four pound three month Yorkie last July made mince meat of this playpen! He jumped out of it before I thought to put the top on, and he was able to unzip the bottom with his teeth. But he is a very active dog. The two dogs you mentioned may be able to push it over if they are medium-sized dogs. Good luck!

My daughter is petite, but at 14 months, she still easily fits in it. My niece was a bigger baby and was in hers for over a year as well. They say up to 30 pounds, which should last most for a year, if not more. Love mine!

I think a 20 month would be fine with supervision. There are horizontal bars that can be used as handles. I was planning on using this as a playpen for my 6 month old grandson once the weather breaks.

I used the Graco Pack and Play next to my bed. I used it for both of my kids until they turned 6-8 months and moved to a crib. After that we used it when we traveled until my kids were two. It was probably the most used baby item I purchased! I loved that I could easily move it from room to room depending where I needed baby to sleep! I actually wanted to arms reach but I am sooo glad I got a pack n play!

In my personal opinion the original is better. The mini seems flimsy compared to the original and as the name suggests it is indeed mini. The original can be used longer because it is larger, the mini is best for smaller and much younger babies. Our original still fits our 7 month old who is 22lbs and in size 12 month clothing; she still has room to spare. That said however, if you have very limited space the small is the second best option. I feel the mini still offers a good option, I would have purchased the mini had the original not been available. The original is slightly smaller than a play pen, and can be used as such.

I have purchased the pack n plays as well as these square playards. In my opinion, especially for grandmas' house, I would purchase this square playpen. It is very sturdy, has a pretty nice thick pad and gives plenty of room for a baby or young toddler to play. Then it is easily stored away when not in use. I love this more than the pack n plays and am SO GLAD I bought these. Bought one for home, grandparents, babysitter. It's easy to store and tote, but it just seemed easier to buy a few and keep set up rather than taking along with me all the time.

This will work for at least another year...they will fit in it until they can sit in tub safely without assistance. Also check the LeachCo bath flipper -- just got that yesterday for my 8 month old and I really like it. It's much smaller and isn't as cumbersome to drain. I had the bath and bumper for my now 3 year old.
