Buying Guide
A large toddler playpen can be used by a baby who's just starting to crawl. This usually happens when the kid reaches 6 to 7 months old. A playpen is a great idea for a baby as it won't just offer freedom to roam in an area that's safe, but it also gives parents the assurance that their kid is kept safe and happy at the same time.
Should you decide to look for a large toddler playpen, there's a need for you to understand how to pick the best design, features, and dimensions of the product. There's a wide selection available, so you'd want our help in narrowing down your choices. Here are the guidelines that will assist you when you're selecting a large playpen for your adorable, cherished baby.
What type of playpen should you choose?
The first thing you need to take into consideration is how often your baby will be using the playpen. It's likely that you'll just need a straightforward playpen without complex features if you'll only be using it every now and then. Generally, a playpen can be a changing station and a sleeping area for the baby, which will prove to be helpful in massive homes as the need to go up and down the stairs is eliminated. If you're a working parent, you will need a playpen that's compact and reasonably priced so it can be taken to a sitter's place.
A bassinet is a good choice if the playpen will only be used occasionally. Remember, there's a 15-lb weight limit for a bassinet.
If you'll be using the playpen constantly, then you definitely need features like a canopy, detachable lid, and floor mat among others, which will handle you and your child's needs and preferences.
Are you going to carry the playpen?
If a playpen will be used as a lightweight crib for a baby, you need to make sure that the folding mechanism of a product is convenient as it will be required to provide a portability feature. You'll be carrying it around with its carry case, which needs to be durable and robust.
What are the requirements for a toddler playpen mattress?
The padding must be snug-fitting and strong without any spaces as your baby might be caught in the padding. As for the cushioning, it shouldn't be 1-inch thick or less. Pick the model that's been equipped with strap holes at the base as straps will secure the floor padding properly to the playpen's underside. Also, the straps shouldn't get to your baby. A ground pad that adheres using Velcro is less dependable. To ensure a unit's safety, check the reviews of a product as you wouldn't want a unit that has been recalled.
These recommendations will aid parents like you in making better choices when selecting a large toddler playpen. A playpen must not only meet the baby's needs but the parents' needs as well. Obviously, your priority is the safety of your child. Remember what you just learned and you'll be successful in picking out the best unit.
