Hello, I have a 16 month old. I was looking for something safe for him while I worked with my horses. He is average size. I was wondering if this might work for him to play in -- I would set it up in a spare stall with toys. Is he too old for it??? I know it says it goes up to three...thank you!

I think it would work great! It's almost twice the size of the "usual" pack and plays. If you've ever seen one of those "old timey" wooden playpens, this one is comparable in size.

It would mainly depend on his weight. Not sure the specs(can google it). It's larger than the average playpen's, so good to keep them busy. All depends on the child & their willingness to stay in there;)

The totblock holds a child who weighs up to 30 lbs and of course one who is not tall enough to climb out.

I used this as a playpen for my daughter until she was 2. More than enough room to play and I had quite a few toys in there as well.

It would be great for a 16 month old. My little one is 15 months and we use this playpen as his bed. In the morning when he wakes I can hear that he is up by the sound of him happily playing with the fun things on the sides. It is larger than an average playpen so would provide lots of playroom for your son. It is well made and sets up really easy. I highly recommend it!

My 16 month old grandson just stayed with us and the Pack 'n Play is where he slept. He could stand up in it and I felt safe leaving him in it. It is big enough for him and several of his go-to-bed friends. Think it would work great for you, especially since he would be able to see you thru the mesh sides.

It should would work just fine for him. My daughter is almost 14 months and has plenty of room to play and is not too tall for climbing out to be a risk. I think unless he's learned to use things to stack and climb on top of to get out, you should be fine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQI bought this for my 1 year old grandaughter, she is petite and had more than enough room for another 1year old. We put a pillow in front when she first received it. Now at 1/ 1/2 years old you could still get two in, but depending on their body length it might be less room than you want. I am including a link that has an adult sitting in it, so you can get an idea. It has worked well for us, but if you have two larger children, you might look at something a step up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQ

i will say no. he will not fit with enough space to move around. i have 3 yorkies all adults at 3, 5 & 7lbs. they are not to tall just regular size. and when my 7lbs goes in she verly fits. and her head touches the top unless is open. i really wanted something bigger :(

I agree with Rebecca - We have a fancy high chair that I have used once in 9 months. I started putting my baby in this chair on the playroom floor at 3 months to let him play with toys on the tray. By 5 months I had him at the table eating with us (with the tray attached). I attached it to a bar stool so he'd be eye level with us. He's 9 months, average size and there is still room for him to grow.

That's a hard call as it may be big for your little one.I feel like for practicality reasons, it wouldn't be too big for long, but it may seem like she is lost in it for a little while. I don't have experience with the smaller one so I'm not sure how to compare.

Honestly, my 4 year old uses it and he probably could have used it when he was 3 with no problems! May actually be too small for an 8 year old.

Hi, I just bought this for my 18 month old and I was worried about him outgrowing it too soon also and it being too young, but he adores it... but the surprise was...so does his SIX year old brother LOL. Ok, it's not going to hold the six year old's attention for very long, but he got on it and bounced around. The weight of the child pushes the zebra down and allows it to spin (if she were standing next to it w/o pushing down, it would not move round) so by sitting on it my 6 year old spun himself in one full circle just to 'see if he could'. They say the age goes up to about 36 months and the weight capacity is 43 lbs (my 6 year old is 41 lbs, just went to the annual checkup) It has been fun for the little one and is something nice and active for him to do now that the weather has turned cold and we can't go outside. I've spent more money on things we've used for a shorter amount of time and I really like this product :)

I think it might be too small. I just bought this for my son in October, and I think he is 48 inches. He fits perfectly on it. My thoughts are that your son might fit okay on it now, but he won't have much room to grow.

We got it for a 3 yr old. It worked good for him. So unless you have a short 8yr ok I would say yes it's too short.

I got it for my three year old grandson, I'm sure it would thrill a six year old. According to the age definitions, it should be okay size wise. I was hoping my grandson would be able to use it for several years. Hope it works for you.

We used it from 4 months and still use it every now and then (my son is currently 11 ½ months old). It is definitely a go-to toy when I just need to be hands free for a couple of minutes, but he's outgrown staying in it much longer than 5 minutes at a time. At 8 months, we probably used it several times a day still, but it might not be worth the $ at this point. I would be more concerned with the height. At 30 inches, my son is at the last height level, and I'm pretty sure that's the maximum recommended height, too. We'll probably pack it up right around his birthday...

No not at all! He will enjoy it for a long time my almost three year old is three feet tall has always been really tall for her age. She won't be three till sept. She plays on this daily. Hourly. It's in our living room in the winter and spring and outside for summer and fall here in virginia. We got it when she was one. She's not bored of it yet. She sits up there n looks at books and plays with toys. She uses it as a stage to sing songs from. And still climbs under it, through it, and on it and enjoys the slide very much. Depending on the clothing the slide maybe faster. She goes down fast and loves it! Seriously one of our best purchases. Hope this helped :) No not at all!

Yes. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old. My youngest has been playing with it since he turned 1. It started out a little tall for him, but that didn't keep him from wanting to play with it. Now he is plenty tall enough to play with it (and he is not "of the charts" tall or anything).

My kid is 2 and 1/2 and he does fine. The first time i rode him he was clise to 2 but I would start with a short trip to see how he/she likes it.

One of my two year olds is 36lbs and 36in tall. It fits him. I would like for there to be more room to grow, but it should fit for a while. I've thought about adding to it myself to make it bigger. It wouldn't be that hard. I think these were worth the money. I hope this helped. :)

I believe it's 18 months and up, but I guess it would be up to you and your child. My son is 21 months old and loves it, I don't think he would have been ready for something like this at 16 months.

Sorry..misread the question. So he is 6 mo now and still uses it. The problem I can see happening is that pretty soon he will be able to grab it and then it will be a safety issue. So I guess it would depend on how active your little one is.
