2019 Best Baby Playpen to Keep Your Child Safe
Let's be honest - we can't hold baby 24/7. There will be a time when we need to put baby down (aside from his sleeping time) to do other chores, such as when you cook in the kitchen, shower or even just a brief trip to the toilet.
A playpen (or playard as it is more known about nowadays) lets you do just that - keep your baby safe and contained while you get a short break and go about with your daily chores.
Quick Navigation
1. What Is A Playpen/Playard?
Traditionally, a playpen is made up of several plastic panels joined together to form an enclosed play area on top of a play mat, as that shown in the picture left. Some may say they are no different than a baby gate, which yes, they may look similar and you can certainly use baby gates to achieve the same purpose, but specific playpens are usually more colourful with having animations/toys featured on its walls to stimulate baby's senses.
Nowadays, many playpens have evolved to that shown on the picture left, a rectangular area enclosed with mesh that is slightly elevated from the ground. Many are multifunctional as well, such as being a portable sleeping area or diaper changing area for baby on the go.
While modern playards as such provide a lot of convenience, they are mostly not able to provide a big play area like that of traditional playpens. We also think that traditional playpens are a better option for babies to learn to walk because they are sturdier, with the fences being placed firmly on the ground apart from giving baby a bigger area to roam about. Ultimately, when choosing your baby playpen, it goes down to what is your lifestyle and needs. Read on to find out what are some of the best play pen we'd recommend!
2. Top 5 Best Baby Playpen (traditional)
First on the list is this Baby Care Play Mat Playpen (no surprises there actually, considering how much we love the brand's play mat as reviewed here) that is made up of 10 panels to enclose 31.6 square feet of space for baby to play about.
Selected as the "Best of the Best" playpen by Amazon Verified Expert, this playpen is completely free from any harmful materials like Phthalate, BPA, Lead, Latex, Formaldehyde and EVA, making it a non-toxic and safe play space for your baby. To add to this, it has thick, rounded/curved edges and double-lock holders lock on top and bottom for added stability. The unique panel-by-panel design makes it possible to arrange Play Pens and Playmats side-by-side for an even bigger play space for babies to explore and unlike other playpens that are easily pushed and moves around, this one here stably keeps its shape and position thanks to its strong non-slip pads and place holders. Don't underestimate the importance of this - your baby will be leaning onto it very often as they learn to walk so it is important that the playpen stands strong without collapsing onto them.
Works well with all Baby Care play mats such as this non-toxic baby playpen mattress here, this playpen is waterproof for you to wipe it down and keep it hygienic always. This is very important because babies will be gripping onto it very often and since they tend to put their hands in their mouth, it is vital that you keep this area always clean.
Hands down one of the best baby playpen in the market, the Baby Care Play Mat Playpen is very easy to assemble and disassemble with no tools required. Being made of top quality non toxic materials, it does come slightly on the pricier side but we think it is worth the investment made to provide a safe environment for your little one. Available in four colours including pink for those that want a feminine baby girl playpen for their little princess!
Coming close in second is the Kidzone Baby Playpen. Parents who are looking for a baby playpen 8 panel - this is for you.
We love the flexibility of this playpen in that the 8 panels are interchangeable to increase or decrease its size or shape. You can use all 8 panels or less (it’s up to you) and shape it to be square, rectangle, hexagon or octagon. This gives you full control to create any size play space for your child that will fit anywhere in your house, be it in the middle of a room or in a corner.
Works great on a carpet or hardwood floor, the Kidzone Baby Playpen comes with a locking gate that is very secure, a great feature to walk in and out of your toddler in the playpen. If you place it on hardwood floor, there are suction cups provided on each panel to stick better for stability.
A built-in activity board that features a picture house, spinning balls & play phone are educational and great for children to work with and enjoy. It will keep your little one safe while they learn and explore
Overall, the Kidzone Baby Playpen is a good choice for those that'd need a more flexible playpen for their children. Like Baby Care, it is very easy to assemble and disassemble too with no tools required and while it may not be as non-toxical as the former, it is also BPA and Lead free. Priced lower than Baby Care, this is a more affordable high quality baby playpen for those that have a tighter budget.
With 14 panels that cover up to 26 square feet, the Gupamiga Baby Playpen Kids Activity Centre is one large baby playpen that is designed with a rubber base underneath to keep it standing sturdy on the floor and not be pushed or dragged by children.
Which is a very important feature if your little one is learning to stand or walk inside the enclosed area. You don't want the playpen to slide around because your baby will be leaning or gripping very often to the panel as s/he work their way balancing themselves. This leads to our next point - the height of the fence is just long and tall enough for baby to hold onto and walk about without being too much.
Made of BPA free, non-toxic and non-recycled materials with HDPE, you can be sure there is no odor to it which can be present in some other plastic baby playpen. The moulding technique makes the structure stronger and more durable for years and each junction where the panels are joined has an anti-clip design to safeguard kids from the danger of being stuck by the playpen. It also has safety locks to give you a sense of assurance that your children are playing within an enclosed limit.
If you don't already know, children are psychologically attracted to colours and animations which spontaneously makes them cheerful and turns on their mood. The use of professional colour design makes this yard eye-catching and gives children a sense of protection while they are playing.
If you are looking for a big baby playpen, you will not be disappointed with the Gupamiga Baby Playpen Kids Activity Centre. It covers such a large amount of space, you can even lie in it with baby during play time or keep extra toys and colouring books for children to make their time more productive in the playpen. Lighweight and easy to put together and take down, you can set it up in any room you wish in a breeze, including outdoors!
The North States Superyard Colorplay 8 Panel Playard is another baby playpen 8 panel that can be reconfigured to different shapes and sizes to fit a variety of spaces.
The Colorplay 8 panel can be used on any surface in your home including: carpet, tile, hardwood floors, etc with non slip, skid-resistant pads to prevent the panels from scratching and slipping. Setting it up is easy - the eight interlocking panels are pre-connected. Simply pull the panels out of the box, unfold and connect them together like a puzzle (lift up one panel while pressing down on the other). The pin on either end of the panel will sit perfectly in the plunger for a secure fit. One tip: as you unfold each panel, you will hear a clicking sound which is the self-locking positioning feature. This intended feature gives the play yard added strength and stability.
The weather resistant material means that this can be an outdoor playpen too. Weighing less than 30 pounds, the lightweight panels fold up easily for you to take it anywhere. Simply fold the panels in alternating directions and slip one end of the carrying strap through the mesh of each outside panel. Once you snap the strap closed, you’re ready to go.
This high quality, eight-panel brightly coloured playard encloses up to 34.45 square feet and has a free standing height of 26 inches. Proudly made in the USA by a company that offers the largest assortment of gates and play yards, all come with a limited full-year warranty and are certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) in the market, you can be sure that the North States Superyard Colorplay 8 Panel Playard is one baby playpen that you can trust.
If all of the above playpens are still considered small for you, the Ashtonbee Playpen Activity Center will be your best choice with its 16-panel structure. With this extra large playpen baby, you can build a play area that is large enough without worrying about cramped space anymore.
If space ever becomes limited, you may adjust the panels to make a smaller playpen. It is easy to set up and assemble this play center without a need for fancy and complicated tools. But even though it’s easy to set up, it doesn’t mean it’s also easy for baby to drag around. Once you have it up, your kid/s will not be able to remove the panels on their own, especially when there is a rubber base underneath to keep it standing sturdily. There are also safety locks that will make sure your baby won’t be able to go out of the playpen.
The Ashtonbee has different eye-catching panel colors with different shapes and designs as well as textures for your kids to enjoy while learning. The easy-to-clean material also makes it a good baby outdoor playpen, although if we'd be honest, there are better alternatives which we'll discussed below.
The Ashtonbee Playpen Activity Center is released only quite recently but parents who have bought it have unanimously given it a 5 out of 5 rating so you know this is one top rated baby playpen. It is covered by 100% lifetime warranty so in the event you'd ever regretted your purchase, you're in good hands with the brand's no-risk, no-questions asked Money Back Guarantee.
3. Top 5 Best Baby Playpen (modern/ multifunctional)
You know we love the Summer Infant portable high chair/booster seat as reviewed here so it's no surprise that the brand's Pop N' Play Portable Playard make the top of our list of modern baby playpens.
As you can tell from its appearance, this is a portable playpen that can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is ultra lightweight (12lbs!) with its minimal structure and mesh material (that provides added visibility) and it is very easy to set up and take down with its pop-and-use feature (hence its name) - literally something you can do in just seconds!
As the folding metal frame comes fully assembled and unfolds in seconds, it is perfect for you to bring it out and about besides using it at home. The water resistant canvas floor helps keep baby dry even on damp grass so you can bring it to a day at the park or a weekend at the beach.
And for even more convenience, a travel bag with shoulder strap is included for traveling and on-the-go.
Measuring at 14 square feet (48" wide and 26" tall), the freestanding Summer Infant Pop N' Play Portable Playard is of a good size that is not too big nor too small for baby's play space. If you foresee you'll be using this outdoor a lot, we recommend getting a corresponding canopy to keep baby sheltered from the harmful rays as well as from any rain.
Another portable baby playpen that we are really liking is the Babyseater Pack and Play Portable Playard. Very similar to the Summer Infant Pop N' Play, this baby playpen opens and folds up easily too - something you can do with just 1 hand so that your other hand is free to hold your child.
What's different is that the Babyseater has an opening that baby can crawl in or out - don't worry, you can lock up this opening if you're not present to supervise baby so that baby is completely secured inside it. Not just that, there are 2 safety locks to keep your baby completely secure so that you can have peace of mind that baby is always safe.
This small portable baby playpen is easy to bring about anywhere as it is made of durable, lightweight metal and comes with a convenient carrying case. And you don't have to worry about wet grass or the like - the playard base is made of padded, water-resistant fabric that is removable for machine wash.
Many parents have expressed their amazement as the high quality of the Babyseater Pack and Play Portable Playard, considering it is priced at such an affordable range (below $100). If you'd want more versatility in that baby is allowed to crawl in and out of the playard when supervised, then you will certainly love this mesh baby playpen.
If the Babyseater is a small baby playpen, then the Regalo My Play Portable Playard is exactly the opposite - this 8 panel baby octagon playpen is one large outdoor playpen that you can easily accommodates children between 6-24 months.
Boasting an all-steel construction, this attractive play yard measures 62" wide and 26" high and was built with durability and strength in mind. Equipped with soft, ventilating mesh sides, the fully assembled yard is designed to set up instantly and fold down compactly with a single motion. To secure, push down on the foot locks - it's that simple. It also includes a carry case with arm strap for travel, on the go or storage.
As mentioned above, the Regalo is made with an all-steel frame that has reinforced stitching and a double locking system for extra safety. The nylon bottom provides protection from rough surfaces, as well as water-resistant for easy clean up.
What we really like about this type of baby playpen is that you don't have to worry about weight limit since it sits so closely to the ground so you don't have to worry about it toppling over. If you think such a big portable playpen will be expensive, you're wrong. Backed by a manufacturer's limited 90-day warranty, the Regalo My Play Portable Play Yard has a safety gate that has been certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), besides meeting the safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) overall.
Moving away from hexagonal and octagon outdoor playpens, let's now look at the Joovy New Room2 Portable Playard, a modern playard with over 10 square feet of space.
There are many playards like this in the market but the Room2 is our favourite because it is much bigger (nearly 50% more) than many others. This is important because baby will not be as crammed and will have more space to play. Same as the playards mentioned above, the Joovy Room2 can be moved outdoors as well so that is another plus (two wheels are provided for portability).
One thing worth mentioning is that the Room2 has a very reliable and durable built to that it can endure multiple kids. It can even be used in playgroups, in other words, it can withstand the use of growing families. The low center of gravity as well as heavier footprint made this possible, but don't think its weight will restrict its portabilitity - the Room2 can be folded in a traditional playard manner and a travel bag is included to facilitate trips so this is definitely a good baby travel playpen to have.
For families with twins, the Room2 is an essential piece as it offers abundant room for two babies. Simply add the Twin Nursery Center to your Room2 and you'll get a bassinet that holds two babies up to 15 lbs each (including a divider for two separate napping areas) and a changing table that holds baby up to 25 lbs.
Other features include a heavy duty padded mattress that can support a baby from 0M+ up to 35” and a 100% cotton fitted sheet that is waterproof to help keep the playard dry and tidy. It is more expensive than the above 3 modern playards, however, the Joovy New Room2 Portable Playard offers a 2 Year Warranty - twice as long as popular playpens such as Graco Pack N’ Play, 4Moms Breeze and Summer Infant and 4 times longer than Baby Trend so you can be assured that your satisfaction is guaranteed with this one.
Remember we mention in the beginning of this review that there is a type of multifunctional baby playpen with bassinet that allows nappy changing and baby napping besides being a playard? The Baby Trend Deluxe Nursery Center is exactly just that - a 3 in 1 baby playpen that gives so much convenience to your daily lifestyle!
Similar to the Graco Baby Playpen or Disney Baby Playpen that many of you are probably very familiar with, this baby crib playpen has a removable full bassinet with canopy, flip away changing table, parent organizer, toy/storage pocket and travel/storage tote bag. It also comes with large wheels with brakes with one-hand locking mechanism so in the event you need to move it from room to room, you can do so with ease.
In bassinet mode, an electronic music center with volume control and night light is provided to soothe and lure your little one to sleep. When awake, simply remove the bassinet, flip the changing table to the side and voila, you have an enclosed playpen with mesh sides for baby to play in.
While the baby trend playpen is definitely very convenient by being a 3 in 1 baby playpen, it does have its limitation - specifically, age. The bassinet/changing table is limited from birth to 4 months or 15lbs/25inches whichever comes first, whereas the playard's from birth to 30lbs or 35 inches. Unlike all the playpens that we've reviewed above, your baby does outgrow this one in a much faster rate. Otherwise, the Baby Trend Deluxe Nursery Center is certainly one of the best playpen bassinet combo we'd highly recommend to those that are looking for one.

1. Top 8 Best Baby Gym (in no particular order)
The Skiphop Treetop Friends Activity Gym is one of the best baby activity gym in the market that has everything you need at a reasonable and affordable price.
This much-loved infant gym engages baby with friendly faces and multi-sensory features, such as the 5 hanging toys attach to a 13 easy-to-hang loops for the small hands to grab. A mirror and built-in-sounds as well as textures on the oversized round mat surface add to the fun and sensory experience, apart from the 17 developmental activities for your little one to explore and play on.
As an infant activity gym, the Skip Hop also comes with a matching supportive tummy time pillow that has a plush surface on one side and a fun print on the other to support your baby's chest.
Remove the linen and patterned arches as well as hanging features and you'll get a flat play mat that is made of multiple fabrics with activities on it: crinkle leaves, squeaker flower and baby-safe mirror in the tree trunk (mirror is removable for machine-washing) that you can either use as a diaper change mat or for baby to sit on and play as he grows older.
Having gone through rigorous safety tests, the Skiphop Treetop Friends Activity Gym met and exceeded ASTM, CPSIA, EN71 and other applicable safety standards so you can rest assured that it does not contain any toxic materials like BPA, PVC and phthalate that will harm the body. It literally takes two minutes to assemble and disassemble this baby gym, so you can easily reclaim your adult space when it is not in use. There are actually a few other skip hop activity gym designs to choose from, such as this alphabet play mat and this one here, the latter of which is also a bestseller if the treetop design does not tickle your fancy.
Next is The Play Gym by Lovevery that is developed by child development experts and has been rigorously tested in labs and with real families who, needless to say, LOVE it!
This award-winning activity gym and playmat is distilled by experts to their simplest purpose - to be exactly what children need at each stage. From tummy time to play fort, this play mat grows with your baby with its 5 development zones on the mat - reveal or conceal to prevent overstimulation, teach focus, sound making, encourage sensory exploration, hiding and finding, and exploring colours. This, together with the removable accessories like organic ball and teether, sustainable wood batting toy and 4 interchangeable learning card sets help develop baby's physical, cognitive, visual and motor learning skills step by step at each stage through play.
This play mat also includes a Play Space Cover which instantly transform the mat into a cozy space for your growing baby and their friends to play. Not just that, the included Play Guide provides dozens of ideas and activities for fun stage-based play from newborn through 12+ months.
What we really like about The Play Gym by Lovevery is that it uses materials that are completely non toxic to provide an absolutely safe place for baby to play at. The legs/arches and batting ring are made from sustainably-sourced wood, while teething toys are made with 100% organic cotton. All machine-washable polyester components are manufactured without BPA and phthalates and it uses a water-based non-toxic finish, even the learning cards are printed with soy ink. However, this also means that it is on the pricier side, but for a top quality, non toxic activity gym that has everything you need from batting to teething to learning to focus for a whole year of play? We think it is worth the money spent.
The Baby Einstein Activity Gym is perhaps not unfamiliar to many of you - this baby play gym is one of the bestseller, understandably so, because it has so many features to love.
If you want to give your little one a multi-sensory adventure that explores all the sights and sounds of the ocean, this is the one to go for. Brightly coloured in an ocean theme, this play gym will captivate your baby whether they're lying on their back watching the aquatic toys, or spending tummy time cozied up at the accompanying whale prop pillow. Other developmental toys with this play mat include a crab bead chaser, sand dollar toy, ring rattle, baby-safe mirror and flash cards featuring real-life ocean imagery.
Measuring at 35"x35", this Baby Einstein Activity Gym is not the biggest but is of the perfect size for tummy time, lay and play as well as sit and play. The main feature of this baby gym is to engage baby with music and lights, which is why it has a 3-in-1 starfish toy that plays 8 classical melodies (totalling to 25 minutes) with dancing lights that babies can activate themselves. What we really like is that you can easily detach the starfish from the baby gym and take it on-the-go or place in baby’s crib for soothing ocean sounds.
This baby einstein play mat is made of fabrics that are machine washable whereas all other parts can be wiped clean. No rubber latex or phthalate, lead and BPA goes into its production so you can be sure it is safe for baby.
One thing to note though, is that the arches cannot be detached which means it is not the best activity play gym portability wise. The map itself is foldable, but you will have to bind the arches down with a string if you really want to bring it out and about. That aside, the Baby Einstein Activity Gym works well as a gym for babies, and at a price below $50, there really is nothing to complain about! (And it matches well with this here to give your baby a good night's sleep!)
For a simple flat play mat, we recommend the Tiny Love Meadow Days Super Mat.
This large play mat is perfect for those that are learning to crawl because it provides ample space that is enough for two for your baby to explore. Sometimes, activity gyms like the Baby Einstein may be too small for your baby to crawl about, even after you remove the arches so this one here is just perfect.
While it may not have hanging toys or features like those that come with arches, the Tiny Love Super Mat offers a variety of engaging activities in its own to encourage your baby's development. Each area provides different types of stimuli to encourage motor skills - from a crinkly fox tail to an engaging peek-a-boo tree, its variety of textures, images and toys provide baby with a space to be entertained as s/he learn important tactile and developmental skills.
One thing that we like about this baby floor gym is how easy it is to fold it into a compact size. This makes it perfect for taking along to the beach, the park or anywhere, no longer limited as an indoor gym only for your baby!
The Tiny Love Meadow Days Super Mat is made of soft cloth material with plush padding hence it is not stiff or scratchy, thus explaining its easy-to-fold ability. Do note that while it cushions tumbles from crawling or sitting up, it is not for any fall that results from standing up or say, from a chair (for a large play mat that is able to provide better cushioning effect, these ones mentioned here are better alternatives) which is why we say it is perfect for crawling learning and tummy time, apart from its size. Nonetheless, it is one value-for-money infant play gym with features like a soft padded mirror that promotes facial recognition and cute carrot teether to soothe those teething time during playtime.
No surprises there - of course there will be a Fisher Price activity gym on our list because they simply make some of the best baby play gyms in the market but today, we're not going to talk about the baby jungle gym that the brand is famous about, rather, it is this Deluxe Kick 'n Play Piano Gym that we think is also one of the best baby play gym that the brand has produced.
Boasting an average rating of 4.8/5 from its users, this fisher price baby play mat is a musical gym with a large and colorful play mat, repositionable toy bar with five baby gym toys (self-discovery mirror, elephant teether, crinkle panda, lion rattle & monkey cymbal clackers) and a removable light-up piano. There are 4 ways to play with this baby play mat gym - lay and play, tummy time, sit and play, and take along.
What we really like about this musical play mat is that the learning content can be changed with baby's age and stage using the Smart Stages technology. At newborn stage, use the Sense stage which plays up to 20 minutes of continuous playful music, lights and sounds to engage and stimulate their senses before switching to Discover at 3 months +, a series of short songs about animals and the sounds they make. When baby reaches 6 months, it is time to Explore with songs and phrases that introduce colours, shapes and numbers. Bonus: the large keyboard with 5 light-up keys can be removed and take along for play - it presses for real piano notes!
But before that, the little muscles can get a big workout as your baby kicks, reaches and, pushes up. Plus, as littles ones discover how to activate the music and sounds by pressing the piano keys, they'll learn that their actions can make fun things happen.
Overall, the different development stage that comes into play with the Fisher-Price Deluxe Kick 'n Play Piano Gym is one awesome feature to have as you can change the learning content to best fit your baby's age and stage to develop their sensory and gross motor skills as well as feed to their curiosity and wonderment. Under $50, this baby playmat and gym is a good steal that will provides loads of fun for your little one.
Not just a baby gym, the Bright Starts Activity Gym is also convertible into a ball pit - yep, that ball pit we all had so much fun in as a kid ourselves!
Unlike a standard activity gym, this baby mat can be adjusted up or down to create walls to contain your baby right where you want him to be, or – you guessed it – fill the play gym with bouncy, bobbling, bubbly balls! Now you can bring the joy of a ball pit right to your living room without exposing your little one to all the germs that are present in a public ball pit (oh, the horror stories you've heard!).
For younger babies, the jumbo activity play mat lays flat for tummy time. Playtime is all around with engaging toys, crinkle fabrics and rattles and the 20 minute melodies will surely add years of fun from tummy time to toddler.
Not just in an infant jungle gym design, the Bright Starts 5-in-1 Your Way Ball Play Activity Gym is also available in pink so for those that are looking for a pink play mat for your little princess, you know what to get. Certified by accredited independent laboratories such as Intertek Testing Services (ITS) and Bureau Veritas (BV), you can be sure that the bright starts baby play mat is not made from natural rubber latex nor any material that contains phthalate, lead or BPA.
A simpler version of the Bright Starts is the Ingenuity 2-in-1 Travel Bed and Play Mat which have sides that can be folded up as well, but does not have features like hanging toys and arches.
Nonetheless, as its name suggests, this baby gym mat can be converted into a portable bed when all four sides are folded up and connected so that's a plus feature to have. You may not be able to make it into a ball pit though, its size is a tad too small for that unlike that of Bright Starts' but it is enough to create a secure barrier if you want to keep your little one contained.
As you can see from the picture on the left, once the sides are opened up, it turns into a large mat for baby to sit and play at. To make transporting easy, it folds up compactly with a carry handle which makes it ideal for trips, family visits and any time baby needs to nap away from home.
In a way, you can say that the Ingenuity 2-in-1 Travel Bed and Play Mat is rather similar to a travel crib like these, however, the difference is that it can be opened up like a mat which travel cribs fail to do (although they make for playards in another sense). We think it is a good choice for those who travel a fair bit but keep in mind that this activity gym has an age range from birth to approximately 1 year old only, after which your little one may have outgrown the travel bed version. Rest assured though, the play gym will last a good few years for baby to sit on and play as he grows older.
The Infantino Twist and Fold Activity Gym is another popular baby activity play mat that has received very high ratings thanks to its portability and price point.
As a baby activity gym, it is loaded with a tummy time bolster, peek n' see mirror, a brightly coloured play mat and four linkable plush play pals. Undeniably, this is a rather simple activity gym (compare to the Fisher Price activity gym) but it is enough for sit and play as well as tummy time.
To open the Infantino activity gym, push until you hear the click. When play time is down, a simple twist of the wrist using the brand's exclusive Twist & Fold technology collapses the arms of the gym (as pictured left) for compact storage.
For a simple, fuss free baby soft play mat that is easy to pack for travel, the Infantino Twist and Fold Activity Gym is a good choice to consider. If you'd want something more, there is another model that comes with a ball pit (40 colourful balls included) for those that'd want to give their baby a little more fun.
