Playpens can be made of wood, plastic and inflatable, equipped with various additional accessories.
When choosing, be sure to take into account a large number of parameters so that the playpen was not only beautiful, but also safe for the child.
Wooden playpen
One of the most popular and simple options. Choosing a playpen made of wood, pay attention to the fact that it is strong enough and made of natural wood without the use of unhealthy components.
It is very important that the side height is at least 80 cm, and the distance between the slats is no more than 5 cm.
Consider that the child will be gnawing on the bars and the arena frame, so they should be covered with a safe and healthy varnish.
The disadvantage of this design is a lot of weight and poor mobility: it will be hard to move the wooden playpen from place to place, and even more so from room to room.
But the wooden playpen is the most suitable option for daytime (and not only) child’s sleep.

When choosing it is necessary to pay attention to the size of the grid cells. If the grid is too large, the child may become entangled in it!
