I have one and LOVE it!! I used it around my Christmas tree to keep the dcks away from it. I also use it to block off the dcks from my dining/kitchen area so they can crawl down the hallway (doors all closed) and to keep them in the living room. It was awesome when I my own son was learning to crawl and walk.. I could take the gate outside in the backyard and put him in there with toys. -
I just bought one last week and love it I just ordered two more extensions and I plan on buy another one for my basementComment

Playzone
I was thinking about getting a Playzone yard too with the extensions. Target has them on sale right now. But I've also seen some people selling them on Craigslist for 1/2 the price. I have a soon-to-be crawler that I think it would be perfect for. Can it knock over at all with their weight?Comment

Superyard = awesome. It's how I have my playroom divided in half into the "baby side" and the "big kid side". Sturdy enough to not fall over when littles are hanging on OR when bigs are hanging on it (though I discourage ANYONE from touching the gate except me). They are also useful for placing across the end of the driveway to stop runaway balls, sidewalk chalk, and children on tricycles :
: from going into the street, or for making a safe "baby area" to play outside, or to block off a Christmas tree or....the list is probably endless! I need to get another one, actually. If you have Once Upon a Child in your area, I wouldn't buy one new; I see them all the time at OUAC.
Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

It *can* be knocked over, if someone tried hard enough, but takes an awful lot of force to knock it over, IME.Originally posted by MamaBear View Post
edit: I answered with regard to the superyard; I just noticed that you asked about the Playzone. Sorry!Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

These are very shallow at the lowest point of the top railing.Originally posted by Little People View PostComment

Ok so the superyards are better? I found one on CL with 10 panels, and I called her and she still had it. But then I ask her to be honest with me...if she had a child or a dog in it and she said a child first and then a puppy. I will just buy one new.Comment

I have two of the gray type. love them I use them in the summer for outside for my baby's. I use it around the xmas tree. I like them when I have 1 yr olds then get a new baby I will put the swing and bouncy in the gate and then the kids can't get at the baby if I walk away. It folds up pretty flat to. You can connect them together to to make them really big. They are great.Comment

I use (d) it for all the same things and LOVE it!! When my twins were learning to walk we put 2 together and basically made our living room into a huge kid friendly play area and it worked perfectly.Originally posted by katiez01 View PostComment

I have a Superyard too, and love it! It's perfect for outdoors or when I need to give a toddler some alone time. However, I do have a toddler that can lift it up and crawl under. He has also figured out how to move the entire thing across the floor (non-carpeted) to get closer to the things I was trying to keep him out of
. So, if you're using it for one of those get-into-everything-type kids, keep a close eye on them!

I wouldn't use them if they had a dog in them just because the plastic diamond mesh can get fragmented with chewing.Originally posted by Little People View Post
I've bought a few used that have been out in the sun and had to toss them.
The ones I have had that have been used only in the day care look like they looked fifteen years ago. They are perfect and in as new condition.
Superyards are way better because they are about a foot deeper. When looking at the other products you have to measure the depth from the lowest part of the piece to the floor. The kids will gravitate to the lowest possible point. It doesn't matter if the highest point is five feet high and looks like a disney castle... the kids will go directly to the lowest point and hunker over their shoulder to get out of it.
The little ones would be great for kids that can't pull up yet though... I just wouldn't want that kind of expense and real estate in the room for something that can only be used for such a small window of growth.
I have two of these in eighteen square foot rectangle configurations. They are AWESOME. All of my babies get their own play yard with their own toys. I have hundreds of baby toys and just rotate my collection thru their play yards and the bouncy seats. They never get old!!!
You do have to secure the superyards down because they are light weight and on a slick surface can EASILY be moved by any kid that can walk. I have mine anchored down and then a thick cushy quilt under each of them.
I LOVE them. Next to my JMason play pens they are the most valuable piece of equipment I have in my home. All of my babies have their very own area and when we are lower on numbers we can easily expand them even further to 36 square foot areas. 18 square foot is plenty though to give them a good area to play in and put a ton of toys in there. Just don't put any toys in them that they can use as a step.Comment
