Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought 2 sets, hoping to use both together to form a large rectangle play yard. That set-up did not work. We have found we have to have a bend between each panel to provide stability, otherwise our little guy would just shake it out of shape. What we ended up doing was just using one set and doing the octagon configuration. If you have wood or tile floors, I highly recommend you also order a foam playmat. I set up the mat (we ordered the HemingWeigh Multicolored Mat), placed the panels in the configuration I wanted and placed it on top of the mat. Then I took a pen and traced along the inside of the metal panels, took the play yard off and cut along my pen line. So the mat fits perfectly inside and my son can't move the play yard around. He is also 18 months now and hasn't figured out the gate lock. I also appreciate how tall the gate is, and that there isn't anywhere he step on and climb up/out, as in some baby pens I've seen.
