I would definitely recommend this play yard over traditional hard plastic ones. The mesh is soft, breathable and won’t hurt your child if they run into it. It’s much more roomy then I expected. I can fit both my toddlers in it along with toys and still have plenty of room for them to move around. Overall it’s a great alternative option to normal hard plastic play yards.

sturdy & versatile playpen
I was nervous spending this much $$ on a playpen, but I can see why it’s at the pricepoint it is. It’s extremely sturdy and well made ! and I love that you can have it as a playpen or have it mounted to the wall so it can’t be pushed by the little one.

We actually have two of these gates in our house for a nine month old twins they are fabulous a little complicated to install if your husband doesn't follow the guidelines but they come with templates so you know exactly where you screw

Great purchase, worth it.
Love this play yard and happy I purchased it.
Great activity center that hangs from the side, keeps baby entertained. Nice durable material that has held up to dogs pawing at it.
Slightly larger gaps between panels, baby sticks toys and limbs through it but they are large enough where she doesn’t get stuck.
Recommend a thick carpet to go under it - I purchased foam mats and the fencing slides around - baby has learned how to push it.

The gate is cool attractive concept
The gate is cool attractive concept. The plastic pieces -attachments are not desirable much better if they to were made w/ material in screennitsekf.
Black is great BUTvother colors. Wing available in this sizexwoykd be great!!! And the concept of using the gate requires a knob be pushed down n turned is a pain in the butt.. but archaic..

Love the play panel, but recommended use narrows your options.
We purchased this to use as a fence on our porch. We don't leave our baby unattended because it's not meant to be used outdoors or as a fence. It is actually very limited in the ways that it can be configured and that was a surprise for us. The instructions specifically prohibit setting it up with panels in a straight line. It requires panels are set at an angle between 90 and 144 degrees (???). Essentially this means it must be arranged in a circle or a half-circle (if attached to the wall).
It does the job we needed it to do; it keeps our baby from wandering into dangerous territory. We aren't playing the chase and grab game anymore. There's not many places for a child to get a hold and attempt to climb. I can see how the very large gaps might catch an arm or a leg if a child is left unattended. It's all plastic. There are lots of little pieces that could break, and it seems like it could break easily. We have only been using ours for one week.
I wanted to mention that the play panel works well with the Graco pack n play (pictured). It can clip onto the inside or the outside of the pack n play. It's easy to pop on and off. Great for travel. Bonus: it matches! and look at cute c:

Great product.
Well made, easy to install come with extra wall mounts so each one can be used in two locations. Sturdy enough for dogs and children.

It's perfect for my deck
It's perfect for my deck, however, it is a bit difficult to lock into place...but once you get the hang of it, it's fine.

I see a baby through the clouds
I like this playpen. It doesn't have space for little fingers to go through gaps. You can see the child through the mesh and they can see you, which is good when your little one likes to watch you like a hawk.
The size is nice. This can shift into different shapes, too. I bought the cloud Skip Hop play mat, which is long and rectangular, so I use the pen that way.
The only downside is that it's heavy (which is great for durability), but it would be a pain to fold up regularly. Connecting the panels together takes a little bit of work (it's not awful, but it would be a pain to do if you were thinking of taking this apart frequently). This playpen best left set up somewhere.

Good in theory, but hard to open/close one handed.
We have 2 of these gates on our back deck to keep the kiddos contained. The deck is Trex so we had to buy adaptors for the posts to drill into. Basically, they're pretty easy to install but it takes a couple minutes to figure out what the directions are saying. It is stretched to the MAX of 55" across one of our openings. It's a bit of a snug fit but we can get it to latch closed.
One thing Im not really a fan of is that it can be a bit of a pain to open and close with one hand. In fact, I don't think I've been able to close the gate (pull it over to the opposite side to latch) one handed, ever. Which could be a problem if you are needing to carry anything at the time. Definitely is in need of a revamp hardware wise to open/close easier one handed. I also wish the company made plastic post adapters with predrilled holes instead of the wooden ones i've only been able to find, they aren't holding up too well in the elements.
A pro is that you can't tell what it is when it's not being used. I love that there isn't an existing gate that is always there, right in the way.

I love this gate
I love this gate, my daughter doesn't have constant access to the basement stairs so we didn't want a permanently fixed gate that we always had to go in and out of so we love that this is out of the way, but safely blocks the stairs when we need it. I was worried about my cats being able to get over it since their litter box is in the basement but when they want thru bad enough they just squeeze underneathe, and I have two rather large cats, but the gap at the bottom isn't enough that a kid could squeeze thru. I also love that it comes with two sets of hardware so we can put the second set of brackets at the bottom of the stairs and pop the gate off and easily put it at the bottom of the stairs if we are in the basement and do not want our daughter on the stairs. It's like two gates for the price of one.
It does take some practice to open and close it, and I can't do it with one hand so I don't think this gate would be ideal for a high traffic area where you are constantly opening and closing it, but for our purposes it is an Walmartzing gate.

Worst item I have ever purchased on Walmart!!!
The worst instructions I have ever dealt with. I have had easier times with IKEA furniture. I bought this for two small 09 lbs dogs and have no confidence in this. I have never take time out of my day to write a review for anything until now. It's made very very cheap. They supply you with anchors that are complete garbage. This thing will rip off the wall in less than a week. I would never trust a child around this garbage. My 09lbs Yorkie will be able to break this. On top of how horrible it is they don't supply you with spacers for floorboards. Who doesn't have floorboards? You couldn't throw in a 5 cent piece of plastic for the 99% of the world with floorboards??? Then I had to pay $09 for those. In all we have $090 invested in the worst thing I have ever bought. All I will get is holes in my walls and the loss of two hours of my life. Trust me do not buy this. You will regret it. Buy a reg gate for $27 and have it last a lifetime.

Waste of money and time for the installation Do not ...
Very Hard to open, needs 2 hands,( the video with the woman holding the baby is misleading) and the hole roll snaps off the wall.
We are not using it. Waste of money and time for the installation
Do not by this product! !

Happy with this product
Using on the deck stairs to keep the dog on the deck. Was worried that it would not look very good with the wood, but it is almost like it isn't there because we can see right through it when it is in place. Came with templates to mount the brackets so installation was quick and easy! Very sturdy, materials are of high quality. Love that it retracts when not in use.

not great for hardwood floors
I picked this playpen simply because it looks nice, and it is very nice quality when you get it. I dislike that if you want to mount it to a wall and your floor has baseboards they don't give you anything to assist with this- meaning it won't mount flush to the wall because of the baseboard. On our hardwood floors our 15 month old can put the play pen around when shes in it, it definitely needs to be on a very large mat or carpet. Overall it's a nice playpen with a decent amount of room for her to play in.

Great play pen
We wanted a play pen for my 9 month old since he started crawling up a storm and we needed a safe place for him to play while we cooked dinner or did chores. This fit the bill perfectly and we were able to fit it in our small nyc apt without having to remove any of the panels. I love the option of being able to mount this to the wall even though we didn’t need to. So far no issues with sturdiness since my son hasn’t learned to pull up yet. The panels are fairly easy to put together, sometimes it takes a few seconds but you just need to make sure the bottom and top notch are aligned and the panels are at the right angle before securing the lock. It’s a bit pricier than other play pens but I liked that there were no gaping holes like the other big plastic play pens and that the panels were mesh so you can still see through it.
