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 a child who is one using it now. It is very safe as a crib but I would not use it as a playen as it would not hold up.

She is 2 this Feb if I didn't trust it my granddaughter wouldn't be in it. Yes it makes playpen. Plus folds for easy storage.

The child can not weigh more than 35lbs. You can use it in two position high for newborns and changing table or low for older kids that weigh no more than 35lbs.

I had a four year old and a six year old play with it at my house. The 4 year old could not do it. The 6 year old made mistakes but was able to make the designs and have fun. With a little practice he would have been fine. So the first few times, parent will need to direct and assist, but then it will be enjoyed.

extensions you can see on the web: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VX4QI8?ref_=pe_527950_34207370#productDetails and the picture is #4 (the last one) which shows that the 5th position is convertable to the toddler bed. that one does not supported my one.

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.

I believe it's safe for every night use. We kept our son in a crib until he was almost 4 years old for safety reasons, he was a crazy active sleeper. It's been about a year, he's almost 5 & has not fallen out of bed, yet. I do check on him before I go to bed & often move him back up to his pillows because he finds his way to the only unsafe spot without bumpers, the foot of the bed. We had a typical bed rail on our 3 year old daughter's bed & I ended up switching that out with these foam bumpers because they were working well with our boy, changing sheets are SO much easier, & they look better than the clunky bed rail.

A crib might be to wide to be attached. By me it's basically used on infant seats and carriages. An 8 month old might be a little too old for it. We use it up to 5-7 month depends on a child

Personally, I would say it depends on the child. When I owned this I did drop the pen a few times on hardwood floor and it didn't break or affect it at all, but it is a piece of technology so if the child is rough with the pen it could break, but the tablet itself is flexible and not fragile at all so it could definitely work for a 7 year old. You'll of course have to plug it in for the kid and start the computer program the child would use to draw in, but otherwise it just works like pencil and paper. I have a 9 year old sister that used my tablet quite a few times, took some teaching but she grasped it easily. Personally, I would say it depends on the child.

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.

Yes. Our grandchildren, who received it, are ages 11, 9 and 7 and have not had any issues using it safely. Good height when child is seated as well.

I would guess 5 and up. The child would at least need to be old enough to write on his or her own. My daughter loved this toy for about 2 weeks and never touched it again. It's pretty useless. She got it for her 8th birthday.

Yeah sure of course, it's not a problem. My daughter was 1 yr and a half old when we bought her the Nabi and she was able to use to it. There's this Nabi mode and Mommy mode, you can choose which one to use. All the games are good to start with for learning. Now my daughter is 2 years old and she is still using it...the battery is good and we haven't had any problems with it so far. The games are good, really, it's good to start now, you don't need to wait. I hope i am a bit of a help :). My daughter loves her Nabi and so do i :D

We didn't use it that early with our first child. She was in it at about 8 months. We will be taking our first trip next week and it will be the first time my second child will use it. She is just over 6 months. I don't see why it could not be used with a younger baby though. We did not have use for it at that age. I recently bought a new mattress and pump for our old Gocrib, but the company does not make the actual crib anymore. They now sell the Lotus Travel Crib.

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;)

Hi Katie,I had to buy extension panels so she (10 months daughter) could attempt to crawl. Otherwise she would not have anywhere to go. I actually combined to sets together to giver her an even larger play area. It was great for play dates too because at least 3 adults and 3 babies could comfortably fit in there at the same time.Our daughter is very close to waking now (14 months) and we were thinking of selling her play pin. It is in immaculate condition. Let me know if you are interested.Thanks,Karla

I have no ideal. I have it on outdoor tile, as well as cardboard. I use my as a puppy pen. I would suggest either cardboard or a carpet of some sort under the pen so it would not move around. If you are looking to put a walking toddler in the pen, I WOULD NOT. It is not that safe. Also the bolts in the joints are not worth the money put into them. They are hard to work, and do not work well. We actually removed them, and the pen works better without them. Hope this helps in your decision.Sharon in Tucson,AZ

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!
