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

Actually bigger than we expected. It worked well for us

Works great

This is a great gate. The only problem is that it can be flimsy. My 11 month old stands at it and it bends when he loses balance. Just hope it doesnt close up on him. Also he can push it and it moves. Right now we are just going to use it to block him from the fireplace and tv stand.

I ordered this in grey first, it was useful. I had my play mat underneath it. But my son at 10 months old quickly learned he could push it across the room while inside of it. So we stopped using it for a play area. Now we have a fire place that is not in use- needs to be replaced this year. So we opened this gate to go across the fireplace to keep him out of it. He once again learned that it moves and he can get behind it. He also tries to climb it half way. My son is almost 12 months old and cant walk. So we had to drill and screw this gate into the wall so he cant move it. We just ordered another gate (in white since price was $20 cheaper) to block another space in the playroom. We will also have to drill this into the wall too. Its a temporary fix and not a great one but will hold us over until we can get the room where we want and need it to be. I will also be trying to use this playpen as a ball bit for his first birthday, I know kids will move it all over the room since it cant stay put or be locked into place but its worth a try right now. This gate is working for us right now but I do not recommend this to friends or moms in my mom groups.

The last one of these I bought, was to keep puppies away from the Christmas tree. So I figured it would work to keep them from getting to close to the brooder with the baby chicks in it. It works perfectly. The dogs can still see the chicks but can’t get right up to them and scare them. A few weeks later when the chicks went outside in the front yard in a chicken tractor during the day, I took it out and put it around that too. Again, works perfectly. It’s easy to adjust the size by removing a panel if needed. And it’s sturdy enough to not worry about it being tipped over yet light enough to easily carry it to wherever you need to put it. And it folds flat without any difficulty. The fact that it folds flat makes storage much easier. My dogs are rat terriers so they are on the smaller side. 1 weighs about 20 lbs and is not terribly tall, maybe 10”. Her brother is quite a bit bigger, about 30 lbs and early 3-5” taller. They have stood on their hind legs, front feet on the top of this play yard and with the back side secured against the wall or in our case, the wood stove there was no worries it would move. And though they could look over the top of it and into the brooder, they couldn’t jump over. If you had a dog that was a jumper by nature it might not be tall enough to keep them from going over the top but in our case, one is a bit chubby and not much into jumping. His sister is more so but she was too short to get over it. So if you want to keep something inside the yard safe from whatever, I recommend this. This is the second one we’ve had in the last 12 yrs ( would still have the first one of it hadn’t been loaned out and their dogs hadn’t chewed it all up. All in all, sturdy, easy to use and move and good quality for many many years of use for a large variety of things.

Im using this as an enclosure for a dog recovering from surgery, not as a childs playpen. I wanted something easy to set up and take down, stable enough to stand alone on the floor, and not too hideous looking. This baby playpen seemed better than the typical metal wire cage enclosures designed for dogs. For my purposes—the dog isn’t really trying to pull up on it or jump against it—it is pretty sturdy, when configured as a freestanding hexagon. If you change the shape though, it can become less stable. Assembly was nothing more than unfolding and snapping the last pieces together. My main complaint is the fact that it doesn’t have an actual “gate” door: any section can be unsnapped to open, but it doesnt swing open smoothly like a gate and it also destabilizes the enclosure. Im sure this is less of an issue for parents who are simply lifting the baby in and out of the closed pen, but if you are expecting a dog to easily walk in and out as needed then the lack of a true gate function might be an issue.

Bought this for my granddaughter. We use it religiously! Indoors or out. It is lightweight and easy to use. It keeps her safe in a designated play area and she can’t break out. Also use it as fencing on the porch.

I am using this for an outdoor pen for our little puppies. It is perfect for them to hang out with. I also bought a shade tent for dogs at Walmart that covers all of the pen and is perfect for us

Nice gate for a very reasonable price. Most other things were closer to $80-$120. I had a $10 credit for using Amazon Photos so I got this for about $55. Not doing better than that for something brand new. It is a big gate. Like decently big. We have a small apartment right now so it’s definitely over sized but once we arrange it better it will be perfect I think. We got this to protect baby from exposed stuff on the walls like curtains and outlets, and also for the summer when apparently we will all be trapped in our own backyards for the whole season. The click feature to separate and reshape is very easy. It folds up nice and securely. I think it’s sturdiness is questionable bc I’m pretty sure my bull-in-a-china-shop son is going to get one grab at this and take the whole down. But hopefully not. There are also stakes at the bottom of the gate that when you take off the covering you can use this outside and put it in the ground. My pictures are of two gates we purchased, one for us and one for grandmas. It fits in lots of different sized rooms and can be used open or completely closed. Overall it’s great and I’m glad we finally got it it took about two weeks to get with all the insanity going on right now. Def recommend

Unless you have a small space purchase the “Versatile Play Space” which includes the additional 2 panels...or buy 2 full play spaces seeing as though the 2 panels are $30 alone. The 6 panel gate is a decent size for a new crawler, but once they start moving it doesn’t offer a lot of room. I have a relatively small home and even I’m waiting on my delivery of the additional 2 panels because this doesn’t even cover the size of my play mat. PROS: • contains busy body babies • decent size • no construction • easy to fold • slim for storage • light enough to carry • sturdy when positioned appropriately (follow directions - hexagon, octagon, decagon - don’t go by pictures of other users!) CONS: • The “smooth” side is on the outside which makes no logical sense • The design on the panels makes it easier for a child to grab or step onto vs vertical bars which would be preferable • “C” is not actually marked like “A” and “B” are...C is the grey circular button on each of the panels
