What to look for when choosing a playpen for a child

1. Kinds. Playpens-screens are often composite. They can be assembled into a single structure or disassembled by enclosing separate places like the fireplace, stairs, kitchen passage, etc. Such products are without a bottom, but some manufacturers complete them with a mattress. Playpens beds are suitable for the youngest, because they can not only play, but also sleep. Such designs are considered multifunctional, but they are more expensive than simple models. Removable bed in the arena-bed is on the second tier, and on the first - a playground. Many advanced models have a changing table, shelves / pockets for things, educational toys. Inflatable playpens are quite budget and are great for use in nature or cottage. Folding playpens are designed to save space, as they are easy to fold and retract while not in use.
2. Manufacturing materials. Choose environmentally friendly products that do not affect the health of the baby. This concerns not only basic materials, but also additional ones: paints, if it is applied to the surface, toys, shelves, pockets for trifles, etc. Most often there are arenas made of wood, plastic, fabrics with netting and oilcloth.
3. The form. Corner arenas save space, so they are suitable for small premises. Round, oval, rectangular and square are most common, but they take up a lot of space, although for a baby this is a plus - there is where to turn around during games.
4. Adjustable bottom. A very useful feature that allows you to lower the level, if the child has grown up and can independently get out of the arena.
5. The height of the walls. If the bottom can not be adjusted, pay attention to the height of the walls, and try to choose a model for growth so that you do not have to purchase a new playpen when the baby is older.
6. Wall decoration. There are two options: wooden rods or mesh. If you choose the first one, then make sure that the width between the bars does not allow the child to get out or to get stuck, for example, by sticking his head. But a very narrow one can also be harmful, since a children's hand or foot can easily get stuck in it.The second option is safer from this point of view.
7. Plating material. It should be easy to clean and safe. Baby will surely taste it when teeth start to be cut.
8. Reliability fixing. Refuse to buy an unstable and shaky playpen, so that the baby does not knock it over during active games.
9. Colors. You should not choose too bright colors. This will lead to hyperactivity of the child, since a rather large amount of time will be spent in the arena.
