Can you recommend a good play pen?

LO has just started crawling

and we've come to the conclusion that we can't childproof our house so we want to buy a large playpen and put in on part of our lounge room and make this LO's area. We're thinking 2-3m x 2m (6-9feet by 6 feet). Can you buy the small ones and connect them? Any ideas appreciated.

We have a lindam hexagonal one that can do a rectangle shape or be a room divider. The way it fits together would mean if you bought to you could connect them all up (it connects via push pin things). But they are £70 each so would be expensive. We are going to open it out so it goes across one end of the lounge and use the bay window wall as the back of the pen.

I have the same one, the Lindam one.

Thanks for the suggestions. I live in Asia and the options here aren't great so I'll having to order from overseas so want to make sure I get a good one

weve got the graco one from argos, it is a soft one so thats why i got it as zane was always banging his head so he cant hurt himself on this one. its easy to clean and can be used outside and has a tent like part that goes over the top for shade.

its not as big as u want but its enough room for a baby to play in happily

Thanks Ladies

We've decided to buy two of the Lindam Sade and Secure playpens. Apparently you can join them together to make a larger play space.

I wish Jacob would be happy in a smaller space. The minute he goes in a play pen, that's it.
