> 3 dayExcuse the mess! We’re renovating our house on a tight timeline and couldn’t get anything done because the baby starting crawling, climbing, and walking, and needed constant supervision by one of us. This corral has been a game changer for us! Our 10 month old walks around it (holding onto the sides), climbs all over it, and can play for hours nearby us while we work and interact with her. She loves it! The only time she has nearly pulled down one of the walls is when somebody moved it and didn’t pop out the walls well so there were two pieces in a straight line rather than an octagonal shape (we ordered the two additional pieces). 6 panels worked fine for just her to play in, but when we added the extra two pieces we found that we could get in there with her and play more easily. We rarely open the gates to get inside, we just step over. Neither of us are very tall, and my husband is disabled so it’s doable. I had a fairly big rug and some foam gym mats in storage that cover the areas the rug doesn’t. She has fallen a few times on just the rug and hit her head hard enough to sob, so I would really recommend using a plusher rug or investing in enough spongy gym mats to break your little one’s fall. I’m really pleased with this purchase!

> 3 dayThis product was purchased for an office setting. I do like the concept of this however a couple issues with this particular product the way that the gates are made allow for a tiny toes and fingers to go inside of them and climb up and try to climb over the side this is figured out quite quickly. Another issue is that if you have this on a tile or smooth surface like a wood floor any child inside of the gate can run or push on the gate and the whole thing Will just glide along the wood floor or tiled surface so it doesnt really stay in place very well. On The flip side. The colors are extremely fun and well liked by everybody in the environment. It is very sturdy and does not seem to break very easy. I have had children climb on them I have had children climb over them I have dropped the whole thing on the floor many times I have ran into a wall while carrying it and it doesnt seem to break. One thing I do like about this product is that it works really well as a barrier instead of a confined area for children it works better as a barrier for instance if the kids are outside plane in the yard and for whatever reason theres a gate or door thats propped open you can slide this along the open gate or door area and it prevents balls and children running out to wherever it also works really well as a ball return if you put it behind a basketball hoop just right angled correctly the ball will just go through the hoop and bounce off of the gate and roll back to you. Over all the product is decent however there needs to be some adjustments with the pattern on the gates because those holes that are there do allow children to put their toes and fingers or French fries or anything else in those holes and tried to climb up the gates which is not overly helpful so it does work better as a barrier thana confining apparatus. If you are using this as a extra set of hands lets say you are cooking dinner and your child keeps running up to you and you just need him or her to be some place for a few minutes set this up stick your child in there for like maybe 2 to 6 minutes at most and this would work very well for that. It is much larger when formed in a circle then I thought it was going to be so there is plenty of Room for 3 or 4 toddlers plus play things and even a blanket inside of there again if youre going to use it for any length of time or for more than one child youre going to quickly find that the children figure out how to Climb over it quickly. This product does fold easily and stores in a small area which is very convenient. This product also has smooth surfaces I have not found any place on here where a child could get cut or poked in any way even while climbing up the sides of the gates there is not a way for them to physically be injured doing this unless they fell.

> 3 dayThis is perfect for indoor use the feet have rubber bottoms to grip but not damage floors. For outdoor use the feet pop out and the opposite end is sinkable to secure on the lawn. Great for toddlers and small pets. Folds up easy for travel or storing.

> 3 dayWhen my son was a baby we bought this play yard to contain him when he started crawling and we need to put him down somewhere to play while making his lunch, letting the dog out, etc. Then we bought a 2nd one to go around the Christmas tree. Now that he’s a toddler and running everywhere, we use it around the tv stand (and also still around the tree during Christmas) so he can’t get into the tv stand or get at the tv. This play yard has been great! Even my in-laws bought one to block off the tv at their house when they’re babysitting.

> 3 dayI love a lot of things about this product. 1. the price! 2. it is able to be used as a closed hexagon or opened up as a wall 3. easy to clean (could use it outside) 4. the neutral color options make it blend in with our living room 5. the additional pieces that can be purchased if you want to make it bigger 6. folds and opens very easily We use this opened up as a wall to enclose a play space. Keep it slightly folded while open (like an accordion/zig-zag) and it is pretty sturdy on its own.

> 3 dayI got this to toddler proof our Christmas tree. I was worried it was going to be ugly, but it really isn’t at all! I was also worried my toddler would push or pull on it and they would both fall over, but it’s super sturdy. It is really long so we can use it to keep him corralled in certain areas of the house or yard and you can very easily open and close the gate from any of the connections, or remove a segment, which is really great! We are ordering one more to keep our dogs in the side yard so they can’t run and bark at everything in the back and front yards and we won’t have to spend a ton of money and build a permanent fence. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE!

Greater than one weekThese panels are much better made than a lot of the competing panel systems available. I babysit my 9 month old twin grand daughters, and needed a way to protect them from old people stuff that I dont want to hide away for the next few years. These do that, and more. They are sturdy, but also easy for me to manipulate into various shapes to fit whichever room I need them in, and also fold up for storage when the girls arent here. Highly recommended, and Grandpa Approved! Good Job, Evenflo!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis would be a great fence if it were made of thicker material. It is flimsy and is easy to push over by our 18 month old. Don’t really recommend it for toddlers.
