Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a playpen and a travel cot?

Many models in this collection combine both functions: a safe play space (playpen) and a resting place (travel cot). The playpen focuses on giving your child a safe area to play, while the travel cot focuses on sleep. Some products, such as the Chicco Open Playpen, are designed mainly as playpens. Check the main function on the product page.

From what age can I use a playpen?

Playpens can be used from the first few months, as a safe space while the baby is lying down, and become more useful once the child starts sitting up and crawling. The upper limit depends on the child's weight and height, as stated by the manufacturer. Use should stop once the child can climb out.

Are playpens safe for leaving the baby to play alone for a while?

The playpen offers a defined, safer space for the child to play, but it doesn't replace adult supervision. It's recommended to keep only age-appropriate toys inside the playpen and check that it's correctly assembled and stable. Never leave the child unsupervised for long periods.

Is it easy to set up and carry the playpen?

Most playpens in this collection set up and fold down quickly and come with a carry bag, making them practical for travel or storing at home. Models such as those from AeroMoov and BabyBjörn stand out for their light weight. Check the weight and folded dimensions on the product page.

Can I use the playpen outdoors, for example in the garden?

Some playpens, such as the Chicco Open Playpen, are designed for indoor and outdoor use, provided they're placed on a flat, stable surface and in the shade. It's recommended to protect the child from the sun and heat and to check that the ground is safe. Check the manufacturer's instructions regarding outdoor use.

What type of mattress or base should I use in the playpen?

Only the base or mattress supplied with the model should be used, with the exact dimensions, avoiding adding extra mattresses that create gaps. For sleep, a firm, well-fitted surface is recommended. Check the product sheet for compatible accessories.
