This playpen was bought to keep my 13 mo. old great-grandson off the floor and out of the knick-knacks, but to allow him some space to play and learn to pull-up and walk. My granddaughter has used it all over the house and outside as well. It's bright colors are very inviting and its roominess is great for the baby. I also saved $[...] by buying from Amazon.com AND it was shipped to my door. You can't ask for anything better than that.
