We bought this to help contain our 8 month old son! He hates to be confined in a play yard and loves to crawl and explore EVERYTHING!! It is big enough to fit his toys inside, but doesn't take up much room in our living room. He has been pulling up on since we put him in there, and the sturdy gates never move. This has been a great helper when trying to cook dinner, do household chores or simply use the restroom! This is a great buy!
