One of the things people adore regarding the Friendly Toys Little Playzone is that it looks like it’s made for a child and when a child sees this they know it right away. Making a playpen purchase isn’t always a black and white decision. One customer liked this model much more than the first playpen they bought. Having a locking gate was a plus on this because it’s dangerous allowing your infant or kids access to the entire house. When I was a child I wasn’t secured inside a playing area and I managed to make my way into the kitchen and drink some terpentine and almost died.

After this I swore when I had a child I’d be much more careful with them so they wouldn’t end up making the same mistake I made. If you want to buy 2 by 2 inch foam playmats that are inter locking you can. It will cost you extra but you’ll be glad you did because if you do this it will make this playpen much Lee Majors Hearing Aid more stable than just playing it on carpet or other flooring. And since infants are so accident prone foam playmats are highly recommended with any playpen you get them.

Another idiosyncracy with the Friendly Toys Little Playzone is that the ends have optional suction cups that adhere to hard wood floors but it’s up to you if you use them and many customers elect not using them. You don’t have to worry about picking up the pieces of this product because the entire contraption is light and any piece can easily be picked up and from there you can assemble or disassemble it. You also don’t have to worry about doing out and purchasing extra batteries because the Playzone already has them installed so the Sounds and Lights already work once this contraption is properly assembled. This product also includes some Bear Stickers although many customers didn’t think it was a big deal when they were missing and some who actually got them had some complaints about them. You might actually find it easier and more cost effective to purchase two of these at one time and put them together verses paying all the extra associated shipping costs on several extension kits. No volume control is included for the music box that comes with this playpen so you will be on your own to find a way to artificially muffle the excess sound. One idea would be to put cardboard over the speakers and tape it real well, hopefully your infant child won’t end up pulling it off.

Our daughter really enjoys the Friendly Toys Little Playzone and she doesn’t imagine herself being enclosed at all. Please note that if you buy 2 sets of these it’s the exact same think as purchasing 4 extension kits and will end up costing you less after shipping. You will also end up getting two gates as well as two activity walls which you won’t get with the extensions, in fact the extensions will just provide you with plain jane blue walls which most toddlers will find more boring. Just remember that if you buy just one set that it won’t be any bigger than a playpen so the picture you see might make the product look somewhat larger than it actually is.

If you get the newer version of this product it will probably come with Bear Stickers. If you place these on the inside blue walls please be advised that your toddler or child might end up picking at them and eating parts of it. We personally liked the looks of these stickers so what we did was stick them on the outside of the wall so they’d look cool but at the same time our daughter didn’t have instant access to these. Also keep in mind regarding the extension pieces is that they aren’t a picnic to find, and if you do find them you’ll pay through the nose for shipping, so just purchase 2 sets and you’ll be better off IMHO.
