North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard

When looking for a gate that could enclose a nine foot space, I realized how expensive things were going to get. We purchased this instead and found it to be wonderful. It provided more space than your average playard, and it could be taken outside for my son to enjoy the grass too. I could shape it how I wanted (rectangle, hexagonal, square...) to fit my home. The color is a neutral grey, and I found I could hang some of my son's toys on it because of the way it has a criss-cross pattern. The best thing about this is that you can add more panels (or remove them) to create the size you want. At our congregation, another mommy and I had put ours together to create the perfect space for three to four babies to play and crawl around in comfortably (with us in there with them). I am currently looking to buy yet another one that I can have here at home permanently. Yes, they are portable, but not on a weekly basis when I need other things packed in my trunk. It is not THAT burdensome, but I am growing weary of packing it every week.
I would buy the next mommy-to-be one. It simply gives me the peace of mind knowing I can put my son down in it for a few minutes and not worry about him. I have mine placed between the kitchen and the living room, where we can see each other while I cook dinner, or fold laundrey, or do what needs to be done around here. He plays safely and comfortably...I can get stuff done. It's GREAT!

I would have to say that this is not worth buying. The reason...if you want to keep your child from roaming around while you are out of the room, like cleaning the kitching, this will not do it, for all he/she has to do is move it to where he/she wants to go. also it will tip over if your child leans over to much on one side. We bought the play yard to make sure our child was safe while we cleaned up the house, well, he moved it. He also was able to bend it out of shape (which could have pinched his fingers) he moved the play yard all over the house and was able to get into things that he should not have.

so if I could I would returned it, or if I read something like this review, I would not have bought it.

on a scale from 1 to 10 I would have to give it a 3

I purchased this for my 7 month old grandson, but he climbs it and gets stuck at the top. From the outside he does the same thing and nearly topples the whole thing onto himself. This would be ideal for a baby who is not so active.

I recently purchased this for our new puppy Bentley and absolutely love it. It is very portable, easy to clean and when using outdoors we don't have to worry about it rusting as it's all very durable plastic. It is also nice to be able to move it in to different shapes depending on where we are staying. It is great to be able to remove 2 of the panels and make it smaller. Great Purchase, would definitely recommend for any small dog!!!!

We have gotten a lot of use out of this item. We use it every day, adjust it to make walls around the sofa. We hardly used it as an enclosed area but it works well when we did use it that way. We're looking in to getting another one to make the area bigger so we can finally enclose it without pissing off our highly mobile infant. I would love to ding this item for being floppy when opened up and used as a wall but since that isn't how it is supposed to be used, I can't give it a lower score.

Great product. Don't use it as it isn't intended or you will end up with a kid that has cuts and bruises all over his face and falls and hits his head a lot.
