According to the manufacturer, it was developed to provide babies and toddlers with a protected play and rest area – both at home and on the go. The playpen makes a high-quality impression right out of the box: the simple, modern design is appealing, the materials feel robust, and the construction conveys stability. The playpen can be quickly unfolded, takes up little space, and is therefore ideal for families looking for a mobile and reliable solution.

The foldable playpen was packaged with great care to ensure that it was optimally protected during transport. The sturdy cardboard box provides a reliable protective layer, which ensures that the product arrives at its destination undamaged. Despite the absence of unnecessary packaging waste, the use of plastic film could be viewed critically by some consumers. The packaging contains a foldable playpen, two handles, a toy bag, and a transport bag. Illustrated instructions for use in German are also included.

As part of our practical test, we thoroughly examined the foldable playpen and documented the results using the specified test methods. In everyday use, the foldable playpen proves to be a reliable companion that quickly adapts to different situations. The uncomplicated assembly is particularly practical: the mechanism engages cleanly, so that the playpen is ready for use within a few seconds. The system also remains intuitive when dismantling – ideal when you need to move quickly or the playpen is regularly relocated. Its stability is impressive during use: the frame remains stable, does not wobble and, thanks to the anti-slip elements , hardly slips even on smoother floors. The well-tensioned side panels provide additional safety and do not give way when the child leans against them. The rounded corners and soft mesh material also prevent the risk of injury. The high transparency of the mesh allows you to keep a close eye on your child at all times, and the two side openings with zippers make it easy to lift your child in and out. Transport is easy: when folded, the playpen is surprisingly compact and can be easily stowed in the car or carried with one hand. The playpen is available in two different sizes: 130 x 130 centimeters or 150 x 180 centimeters.
