I am concerned about the hard postings at the corners. My baby is crawling& pulling himself up and fall back. Anyone have a probl. w. baby hitting it?

I did not have a problem, however, I am not sure I understand your concern. I am a grandmother of 3 under 5years of age and a mother of 2. I used a playpen (especially this one) with all and I never had anyone hurt themselves. If anything, they learned to hang on so they would not fall backward. A great incentive to move forward around the playpen.

No. It is really no different than if baby was in a pack and play or the crib.

No problems. There are no sharp edges and this has not been a problem with my grandson who is also crawling around, pulling himself up, etc. I continue to be very happy with this item!

I think it's most usable until they start trying to crawl. In our case, it is most usable from 0-7 months. Now our baby seems to want to be off the mat to practice moving around on the floor. Before that, we used this every single day, multiple times a day and even took it camping and used it outside. It has been one of our most used items. I'm hoping once he crawls, he will want to sit on it again.

I felt that the whole thing slid around a lot so I got that grippy shelf liner stuff at the dollar store and put that under it. That helped a ton.However in my opinion it's not the pad that needs to be secure...it's the wiggly baby! The dresser I had it on was very high. As soon as my son started sitting up at about 5.5 months I put the pad on the floor. I wasn't taking any chances! It's been there ever since!

I know it was hard for my Daughter to bounce until she was at the 2nd setting. I would recommend putting your foot at the edge if she is facing you and bounce her or gently tapping the top portion if she is facing away from you. If you have a favorite toy bar that defiantly worked for me.

I plan on putting my baby on the other side when he is able to sit up on his own. If you do it beforehand, they'll just slide down and obviously thats not safe.

I'm with you all...just turned 8 months, sleeps like a lamb in the RnP, but is so active that she can't sleep in her crib. I'm all for letting her cry herself to sleep at this age, but we live in an apartment and I'm trying to be aware of our upstairs neighbors. Ugghhh...this is frustrating. :(

Definitely! I bought this one since I am watching my nephew, but had one almost identical for my daughter. My daughter was rolling over at 7 days old, so I had to find something with soft sides since she kept hitting the wood railing on her crib and waking up all night long. She ended up sleeping in it until she was 2 yrs. old. When she started to try to climb out of it I stopped using it obviously. I never thought I would use it as long as I did but she loved it and we ended up taking her crib down. Unusual use I know, but it shows it's definitely safe for a crawler!

My son has been climbing into his for a few months (he's 26 months). He occasionally gets his shirt caught on the middle post when he climbs down on his own but has figured out how to avoid that too.

My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it. I think the problem that you would have is that at some point he will either be too snug in the seat or too tall to be contained in the seat (there are straps which will raise his butt up higher if his legs get long). It seems sturdy enough that 30# would not tear the seat out or cause the seat to break off of the grooves. If I'm wrong, you have a broken toy but probably a safe baby as he will only be at standing height. That said, my attorney advises that you decide for yourself what to do with your child. For me, this is a reliable 30 minutes of parental freedom and I intend to keep putting my kid in it so long as he fits and continues to enjoy it. My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it.

Mine is still an infant but I do believe this will be an issue still. I got the GT though and will use a blanket to prop her up if needed. No big deal in my opinion

We've never had a problem with it. That part isn't accessible when it's laid in a crib with a sheet on top. This is coming from a first time mom who's completely anal about anything safety related.

I was worried about the same thing. We have had these out many times and never a problem. I try to sit down in it with it as open as much as possible, not an issue so far.

Hello, Sandra! My baby is 1 year old and walks quite well- sometimes he pushes it and it slides on the floor (without carpet) but doesnt tip over. If baby doesnt have good coordination and you dont have a carpet- the baby might hit the floor(

Despite the brand name "Baby Jogger", this isn't a jogging stroller, so it can be a bit bumpy on rough terrain. I've "off-roaded" a few times, but my younger baby has definitely given me some indignant looks about being bounced around!

No. My baby is super active. She shakes her pack and play back and fourth like crazy. I was worried that she would be able to move this play pen around. I started using this playpen for her and she does try to shake it but it stays firmly In place. I've used it both on tile and hardwood floors. Just make sure all the suction cups are pressed firmly down if not she is able to move whatever section is not secure. Also I've noticed that it entertains her better and shes distracted by the toys on the sides and on the floor. She feels independent and doesn't shake it like crazy

No...i found this product useless...it only elevated head at best which worried me more than anything because babies airway should remain neutral and she kept sliding down anyways or turning sideways. I found this product useless and dangerous. Mine still sleeps in rock n play and she's 5 months old. I. Love it because she stays in place and doesn't slide down. Good luck! Hang in there

Hi Katie,I had to buy extension panels so she (10 months daughter) could attempt to crawl. Otherwise she would not have anywhere to go. I actually combined to sets together to giver her an even larger play area. It was great for play dates too because at least 3 adults and 3 babies could comfortably fit in there at the same time.Our daughter is very close to waking now (14 months) and we were thinking of selling her play pin. It is in immaculate condition. Let me know if you are interested.Thanks,Karla
