A playpen allows a baby or a young toddler to play in and keeps them safe from harm while their parents are occupied or away. In the olden days, playpens were made of wood and usually square in shape with vertical bars on four sides. Modern playpens are portable and typically are made from metal, plastic, mesh, and soft plastic or nylon sides.
Children between the ages of six to eight months would be the ideal age to use a playpen. At this age, babies are usually fuss-free and easier to manage, so parents can leave them in the playpen while they do their household chores. Read on to find out which are the 15 best baby playpens in Malaysia.
How do you differentiate between a playpen and a baby cot?
Many people find it difficult to differentiate between a playpen and a baby cot. Playpens are places for babies and toddlers to play and sleep. They are usually made of plastic, are lightweight, foldable, less bulky, and have a portable design. Baby cots, on the other hand, are small beds made especially for babies and toddlers. These cots are usually bulkier and are crafted with high-quality wood such as Araucaria Wood and Pine Wood.
How do you choose a good playpen?
A good playpen can keep your child safe once they start to walk or crawl. There are way too many choices available on the market, so it is crucial to consider factors such as budget, durability, maintenance, and portability. Here are a few helpful things to take into account when you choose a playpen for your child:
1. Budget
There are both expensive and inexpensive playpens. If you intend to use it for long hours, go for a premium model. A good quality playpen would ensure better safety and protection for your child.
2. Durability
The durability of your playpen will depend on its build quality and the type of material used. Choose playpens with a strong and sturdy structure as they would last longer.
3. Maintenance
Playpens should be made of materials that are easy to clean and maintain, to remove any germs which may affect the child or toddler’s health.
4. Portability
It would be more convenient to purchase a portable playpen. Choose one that is foldable and easy to dismantle, as this would allow you to move the playpen from one place to another.
