"Well, this may sound funny, but as you moms or grandmas know, they just don't make playpens for babies like they used to. They are so small and make a baby feel confined. So, being I have my grandbaby at least three times a week and take her everywhere, I ordered this with two extra panels to make my little sweetie her own little playyard. Just put a nice thick blanket on the bottom, put in her toys, and now she has a safe, big and fun playyard of her own. You can attach toys on the sides and she is well protected. And it also serves as a little place that when I go camping, she can be in this also. Not to say, that I can purchase other panels and if need be, I can use it camping for my Rotty and my Lab instead of tieing them up. Just make it big enough and put some fake grass underneath them. Thank you so much."
