They have an online catalogue but I can only say that at the moment it is not working.

Advantages: three-in-one playpen, fireguard and room divider Disadvantages: takes a while to convert from one thing to the other
...but I went with the Babydan anyway - on the grounds that it is multi-purpose. It converts from a hexagonal playpen to a room divider, fireguard, or a stairgate. What I didn't realise was that you can't actually have all of them at the same time. You could have the stairgate (but let's face it, who only needs one? Most stairs I've seen have a top AND a bottom!) and then five sections left for a fireguard or room divider, but you can't make the playpen ... ...of having to unfold the babydan and put it up again as something else all the time, despite it being relatively easy to do, is not something I relished. It's "easy" in that you don't have to get your toolbox out. It's not "easy" as in you just pick it up and carry it. There's a fair amount of grunting and clicking and carrying and heaving involved, so it's not exactly a picnic. If for some reason you wanted a playpen until your baby was mobile, and ...

Advantages: Baby is safe from big sister's toys! Disadvantages: Expensive - worth the money though
The Babydan Babyden is a big playpen/fireguard/room divider.
It comprises of six panels with fix together in various ways to suit the situation. I use it at home as a playpen, I am taking it on holiday for a fire guard and I got one for our toddler group as a room divider to keep babies away from their siblings in cars!
The panels fix together at any angle you choose, they just get held in place with a pole. It is very easy to put together, no ... ...under five minutes (with babies and toddlers crawling around my ankles!!). It has wall mountings as well.
The playpen is free standing, its obvious use is as a hexagon but I used mine as a rectangle to fit it in a narrower space.
I got the babyden for my first baby to play in before our house was protected from little fingers! But in the end I used to sit in it to read or do any paperwork that I didn't want her to get. I recently got it out for ...

Advantages: Easy to put together Disadvantages: none
Was in two minds weather a playpen was a good idea or something that was going to be an expensive mistake that never got used. Well, I've had the Babyden a week now and its just perfect, I would recommend to anyone. My baby has just turned 9 months and just started crawling so its become another pair of hands when needed. Definately shop around for the best deal, we found the best deal currently on Kiddicare. It comes flatpacked was easy to put together, ... ...a little extra padding for play plus also protects the floor its sitting on. It can however be used without the padding too. The padding is machines washable though I haven;t tried that yet. We put the Den together whilst baby was asleep and arranged his toys in there for when he woke up, from the first minute he went in there, he loved it, his space, with his toys etc. Within 24 hrs of having it, we were watching the tv, when out of the corner of ...
We have this play pen except it isnt used as a play pen any more I brought this for £100 about 4 years ago It comes in pieces which you slot together and has a soft washable mat in the bottom, although my mat was red not gray as it is in the picture above.
They also sold tent canopys to go on the top of this to turn it into a play tent for £30 which was great fun.
This play pen has a multitude of uses, firstly it can be used as a play pen in the ... ...as a circus tent in this shape too or you can arrange each of the 6 sides to make a different shape.
you can use all or parts of this play pen as a door gate or a fire guard and as the children get older you can open it out in a line and attach it to the wall to give them a whole corner of a room to play in.
Mine has had many uses sice its days as a play pen too, my cat used it to have her kittens in, the girls used it to store toys in and now ...

Advantages: Safe, comfortable, roomy, easily accessible, well designed. Disadvantages: Choose colour wisely - black looks like a prison! Quite a lot larger than traditional playpens.
...dimesions before purchase.
The Babydan babyden is available in white, silver or black. I chose black as it went best with the lounge where it would be situated, however I did find it looked a bit like a miniature prison! It is well made in a kind of powder coated finish so it is not as cold as a metal frame.
We found it difficult to assemble at first but subsequently realised it is quite easy once you know how - don't forget to look at the little ... ...or a heavy baby!
Babydan Babyden can also be used in other configurations such as fire gate, stairgare, room divider etc... Additional parts can be purchased although extra fixings are included in the box.
I creates a hexaganal shape when configured and is over 120cm wide at the widest points of the hexagon. This gives a larger than average play area. ...

Advantages: multipupose, practical, useful, strong Disadvantages: expensive, complicated to put together
I purchased the babydan Playpen before my twins were born. I think it was a man thing! My husband insisted that we have one. i thought it was a waste of money but he pursueded me. However, I now feel that it was a fantastic purchase.
When the babies were tiny I used it for storing things in to keep the room tidy as they were still in their moses basket in the day. Once they were old enough to move around a bit, I started putting them in the playpen. ... ...middle floor of the house and we didn't intend to get stairgates (we got one eventually!) I needed to get the babies used to being enclosed. They loved being in there and when they started trying to stand up they used the bars to pull themselves up. As I have twins they did outgrow it fairly quickly. So I have now split my sitting room in half and use it as a room divider. It is great for our lounge diner as i sit and work in the sitting room and ...

Advantages: great for keeping newborns safe from toddlers! Disadvantages: a bit expensive
We bought this as there was to be a close age gap between our children and we felt our newborn may need some "safety" at certain times from our eldest child!
We purchased it from ebay for £60 including postage. You could also purchase a playmat arch feature for it but we decided against this as we already ha a playmat which could be fitted into there.
It came with a soft blue padded mat to go inside which can be washed. When opened up it does take ...

...avail. Then I spotted the Babydan Babyden in a catalogue and going by the sizes when it was in playpen form I knew it would be big enough. The twins had great fun rolling around in it and also learned to pull themselves up on the bars. Now they are 14 months old and walking everywhere I have attached it to the walls and have got it as a room divide. They have their own little room now within our living room away from the temptation of plugs, tv's, ... ...time I closed the gate but instead they actually cry when I try and take them out.
I would reccommend this to any parent and having experience of a multiple birth by the time you price up getting 2 playpens the Babyden is actually very reasonable and the joy of watching my babies play together in safety is priceless. ...

Advantages: Large play area. Easy access. sturdy. easy to assemble Disadvantages: quite expensive at £69 - £89, but worth it
As mum to six boys I have always found playpens very useful. This one, however, is the best we've had. It came more or less assembled in a concertina effect. It took us a couple of minutes to put it together and then our 8 month old was let loose. It has a large area for play so they wont feel hemmed in. As mum to twins I would say there would be plenty of room for two babies in there unlike most others on the market. The floor cover is quite well ... ...but it is adequate. I liked the idea that when he has grown out of the playpen aspect we can buy the tent cover and turn it into a playhouse to extend the use. One thing if you are short on space you might find it a bit big, but other than that it's great. I have to admit I have not used other than as a playpen. Can be bought in various places Toys "R" us or from catalogues like Kays or littlewoods(you will pay a little bit more) or as I found out ...

Advantages: you can change shape of the play pen Disadvantages: The mat is hexagonal, when you can change the playpen to square.
...thats when we found the babydan baby den. I came in white, silver or black metal and we chose silver. It is great because you can have it as a hexagon play pen, a square playpen, or use it as a stairgate, a room divider, a fire gaurd. Its easy to change the shape and you dont need tools to assemble it. It comes with a blue soft mat that fits snuggly in the base and attches by little elastic hoops that hoop under the poles. You can also buy (seperatly) ... ...playpen and adds more fun for your child as they get older. I used it until my child was 18months old, put it in the loft and now its back in use with my 2nd child. Its definatly the best play pen by far! A great investment for your child! ...
