Evenflo Versatile Play Space Adjustable Play Area, 8-Panel (Cool Gray)

This might not be great if you only have a tiny apartment however it suits my place perfectly. My pup loves his enclosure and happily goes into his enclosure on his own. My only concern is that this might be part of the living room decor for years to come because this pup absolutely loves it. I feel that the heavy plastic keeps him safe and doesn’t scratch my floor. Completely satisfied

UPDATED: I gave this gate a shot and besides the few issues I noticed the gate is now bowing out. I have it set as two pieces on each side and one piece on each end. Basically a rectangle. I noticed the side is bowing out which means when a child leans on it (which children lean on gates) its bowing even further and Im waiting for it to snap and the child to crack their head on the table. I rearranged my whole living room to make room for this and here I will have to go through the hassle of sending it back and finding a box big enough for it or I will have to stage my room where something is up against the side so a child can not get hurt. I get making them lightweight and easy to move but its now too light to where it cant even withstand toddlers leaning on it if they say drop a toy outside of it. With the name I thought I could trust this product but I was wrong and cant risk someones child being hurt because they can push this all around, lift it up, and now the plastic is warping at the hinges from them standing and leaning on it. Would recommend looking for a sturdier gate. I had a gate similar but thought I was done watching littles so I sold it. This gate compared to my other is much lighter. Now that would normally be a plus, however, its too light and therefore the one little girl I watch whose 2 can lift it up and slide her legs out, she pushes it across the floor to get to where she wants and shes a little thing. So imagine a bigger child doing it. I bought this to replace the pack and play being she was climbing out of that. The first day she stuck her foot in the open spaces and now I have to worry she doesnt fall doing that and break a leg or hip because it gets stuck as she falls. Putting this together was simple, breaking it down is simple, but I would watch the child and age you need it for. If it is for a little one whose not into climbing and lifting and under around a year and a half this would pry work great. An active toddler who is getting into things will probably not be restrained in this because they will lift it up or just drag it to where they want to go. I do have to worry she doesnt try and crawl under it when she lifts it up and gets stuck with it on her if I say run to the bathroom. So Definitely regretting this purchase, because I thought it would be heavier than it actually is.

Right price and serves purpose of what I purchased it for. To keep crawling baby in and nosey dogs out. U get for what u pay for in that its not overly sturdy and need to either keep it in the octagon shape and/or put something with weight against it to hold both sides up straight or whatever shape u put it in. I thought the price of sturdier ones was a little much and did not have space to store the larger plastic barriers with doors and what not. This product does not have door but can unhook easily. Plastic hid away stakes are nice to put in ground or on beach to keep kids in. Very portable and can come apart and/or fold away easily/slide under bed/couch in closet to store away which is why I bought it for my smaller apartment. Space is limited. There are a few pics of it in and out of box and I just threw up real quick in the area Im going to use it for. Dont take too much out of it, just propped up, not how I would have it for when my daughter is actually crawling around in living room, but u get the idea...

I’ve never used this for it’s “intended purpose” of having an enclosed play yard. I tried once and my clingy son was NOT having it… But this has been just what we needed to block my son off from certain parts of the house. We first used it in our apartment to keep him contained in the living room and out of the cat food. Then when we moved to our house I used it to keep him out of the kitchen during a renovation and off of the bay window. Now my parents are moving to a house with stairs where a traditional baby gate won’t work, so this fence will come to the rescue again! I basically hold the ends in place with a piece of furniture or strategically fold the sections to be able to do this. This fence has been so versatile and useful!

I took this to softball practice and softball games it contained my child in a couple of other parents kids also. It is lightweight but sturdy enough to keep them in it does fall over if they push on it like two toddlers it will fall over but it also contains what you need to contain.

My grandson was 9 months old the first time that I set up the play yard, and he immediately began to climb up. When he stands up and shakes the panels, they move a lot. The instructions stated to put the panels together so that the smooth side of the ribs/supports in the middle of each panel faces the outside of the play yard. This does not make sense, but I did it, so within a few minutes of placing my grandson inside the play pen, he had already hit his face against the inside of the ribs and hurt his face, so I now place the open side of the ribs on the outside of the play pen. They plastic mesh sides are fairly rough, too, so that when the child slides his face down a panel, his skin is red for a while. I am rather disappointed in this play pen. I expected better quality.

Evenflo Play Yard is easy to assemble, fold and store away when not in use.

I worked out great and you can make it small or big

I purchased this gate about 12 years ago when I had my first toddler in the house. The product at that time was sturdy, durable, heavy-duty. I had the item well after my last child needed it and used this gate outdoors to block off areas of the yard to keep dogs and chickens from wondering into the front. Anyway, after all those years of weathering, getting beat up and kicked around, my final gate panel broke and I purchased this new one. I received it yesterday and needed to express my disappointment in this gate. I do understand that over the course of time companies try to save money and make changes. However, this gate is no longer the quality item it used to be. Cheap plastic, not heavy-duty, it does not stand up as strait as the old one did, the plastic is thin and when set up it does not stand rigid; I need to prop the ends up against something to hold it up (I didnt need to do that with the old one). Mind you, I am not using this with all the pieces connected together in order to close up a child, I use mine to keep the chickens off the deck, so maybe it may be sturdier when connected together. However, I cant imagine this gate would be sturdy enough to withstand a child pulling itself up or banging against it. That being said, I do like the improvements made on the connective features-they have made it easier to take the pieces apart and secure together. I also like the option of colors although I do wish they still offered the brown tone. Overall, Im keeping it, it works for my needs and was reasonably priced, but it will not survive 12 years like the old one. Im sure some millennials will think this product is great, but they have nothing to compare it with. Too bad.

This is a good play area for a 6-10 month old. This is made for a child that is not too active. My grandson is pulling up and the pen is a little unstable and he is 8 months. I use it indoors.
