Depending upon size of child, I would suggest up to age of two. It is sturdy and seems well built. If the mattress is set at its lowest a child could sit and play in it somewhat but as it cannot be lowered to near the ground I would say use as playpen for short period of time and where an adult is present.

I have a child who is one using it now. It is very safe as a crib but I would not use it as a playen as it would not hold up.

She is 2 this Feb if I didn't trust it my granddaughter wouldn't be in it. Yes it makes playpen. Plus folds for easy storage.

The child can not weigh more than 35lbs. You can use it in two position high for newborns and changing table or low for older kids that weigh no more than 35lbs.

Honestly I would not recommend this as a crib or playpen as I think I stated in my review. This is more like a bassinet to me. Once baby starts moving around or pulling up it's a wrap.

I've done it before, but be warned the baby can flip over the side if too tall..which is a scary sight to see - take my word on it. So far, both my older children have not slept well in the playpen, the flooring is hard and using blankets/extra padding is dangerous. All of mine were too tall to use the playpen by 18 months. Sorry to sound negative, these playpens are great but we have found them to be insufficient as sleep areas for baby or young toddlers and best used for play. I'd suggest a crib mattress on the floor in a babygated and babyproofed room, or one of those bean pod portable beds.

Honestly, my 4 year old uses it and he probably could have used it when he was 3 with no problems! May actually be too small for an 8 year old.

As far as I remember i was using it at least since my daughter was 3months old,just be really careful :)

I do not have children, but I think for safety issues it would not be advisable to use it in a playpen.

Very suitable for newborns, we use it in a portable crib.I don't believe you are supposed to use it for a pack n play, would not fit exactly as it needs to for safety.

I think a 20 month would be fine with supervision. There are horizontal bars that can be used as handles. I was planning on using this as a playpen for my 6 month old grandson once the weather breaks.

Yes, it can be used at any age. It doesn't hurt the baby it just presses on the skin.

As long as you put the tablet in the water and let it dissolve first, it will be fine for a 13 month old. I would suggest, however, the Crayola color tabs over this product. I had to use twice as many to get the same color with only one Crayola tab. It's fun to mix the colors too, so you're really doubling up on the tablets with this product. Seems like a good deal to get so many, but they go quickly.

I had a four year old and a six year old play with it at my house. The 4 year old could not do it. The 6 year old made mistakes but was able to make the designs and have fun. With a little practice he would have been fine. So the first few times, parent will need to direct and assist, but then it will be enjoyed.

Think it would depend on the weight and size. My grandchild is 12mths old, but only weighs about 8kilos (20pounds) (was born preemie) and gets lots of use out of it. And I think it will be great for when she starts coloring and using playdough, a more controlled enviroment. I have it on our coffee table so she always feels part of the life going on.

I gave mine to a 5 year old and now it is sitting on his bureau...........I would say no to a three year old........it is a bit delicate and the controls could be a problem.

Probably around 18 months at the youngest. If the child likes drawing or coloring on paper, he or she would probably like and use this. I got it when my daughter was about 2, for a road trip.

My daughter in-law has used this for approx a year. Eventually you'll need a crib when the child is older.

So far I put there my 25lb nephew to play and it still was ok. The limit for this cradle is active baby. I transformed my son into his crib at 4.5months, when he start to move around a lot. Then it's not so safe to keep babies there by themselves.
