    4 Stars Endless configurations for baby safety 09/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Makes any space safe and has endless uses

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only for the rich…needs plenty of space

    Imagine if you will a small front room (13’ 7” x 13’ 5”) where one wall of the room is taken up by a fabulous stone fireplace with stove, hearth and green marble effect plinths either side. Now imagine small baby learning to walk…and fall near this beautifully but dangerously appointed hearth! Well now you are in my living room watching my son take is first steps (well in the next month or so). I looked around at fireguards, which are all very nice and functional, but only protect the actual hearth area. I need to literally cordon off the entire wall. How was I going to do it? Well I spotted ... more

    3 Stars Baby Prison Review with images 01/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages three-in-one playpen, fireguard and room divider

    Disadvantages Disadvantages takes a while to convert from one thing to the other

    Well, you might not think so, but Leah certainly did - she objected strongly to ever sitting in her playpen and playing for more than about two minutes. A playpen was one of those things I thought I would never actually use - and although I don't use it often, it's a very useful thing to have when you have a mobile baby and you need to answer the door, put the washing out, or just need two minutes to get on with something. What's a Babydan? ------------------------- It's a large, hexagonal metal playpen made of six sections. They divide into two lots of three, and can be "folded" like a zizag ... more

    5 Stars Read the paper for the first time in months! 12/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Baby is safe from big sister's toys!

    Disadvantages 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 tools at all. I can put it up in under five minutes (with babies and toddlers crawling around my ankles!!). It has wall mountings as well. The playpen ... more

    5 Stars play safe 21/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages safe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    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 hexagon shape with the mat inside and can be used as a circus tent in this shape too or you can arrange each of the 6 sides to make a different shape ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to put together

    Disadvantages 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, around 10 mins. The padded base it good too, as a little extra padding for play plus also protects the floor its sitting on. It can however ... more

    5 Stars Finally - the housework does not get neglected! 05/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Safe, comfortable, roomy, easily accessible, well designed.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Choose colour wisely - black looks like a prison! Quite a lot larger than traditional playpens.

    I was bought this Baby Dan Babyden as a gift when my second son was born. It became a godsend as I needed some where safe to place baby inorder to retain my sanity. I did not want to put baby in cot each time, he needed his own fun area to play. I have a small West Highland White Terrier - Charlie - who is a lovely natured dog with a gentle tempermant. I could not however trust baby and dog to be left together in the same room. Placing baby in playpen was my answer to this problem and left me able to get things done. The playpen was quite a lot larger than we expected and does take up a lot of ... more

    5 Stars The best money I spent on baby products 22/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages multipupose, practical, useful, strong

    Disadvantages 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. I realised that because the sitting roo is on the middle floor of the house and we didn't intend to get stairgates (we got one eventually!) I ... more

    5 Stars Babydan baby den 23/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great for keeping newborns safe from toddlers!

    Disadvantages 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 up a fair bit of space but is not too big and has a gate which can easily be opened and closed. It is very sturdy and cannot be tipped by a toddler ... more

    5 Stars Babydan Babyden 21/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for more than one baby

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit expensive

    After finding out I was having twins and starting to buy things the reality of how expensive my 2 bundles of joy would be sank in. Double pram, 2 car seats, 2 of everything not to mention the fact I was having a boy and a girl so I had to buy pink and blue clothes too! When they started to become active I looked everywhere for a twin playpen but to no 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 ... more

    5 Stars babyden-baby safe!! 14/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large play area. Easy access. sturdy. easy to assemble

    Disadvantages 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 padded although could maybe do with being a bit thicker, but it is adequate. I liked the idea that when he has grown out of the playpen aspect we ... more
