UANLAUO playpens: what to settle first

Soft-sided play yards with breathable mesh all the way round, a zip gate that opens from the outside, and pull-up rings for the weeks of standing practice. Two footprints, and one that arrives with its mat already in the box.

The week a baby pulls up on the coffee table is the week a pen starts earning its floor space. What it buys is not safety in the abstract - it is the fifteen minutes it takes to make lunch with both hands. The panels here are fabric over tube rather than plastic gates, so the walls give when a new walker lands on them, and the mesh runs the full height of all four sides, which is the difference between a pen you can watch from the kitchen and a box you have to stand over. The gate zips from the outside for the plain reason that a toddler inside cannot reach the pull. Two footprints: 47 by 47 inches, which fits between a sofa and a wall in most living rooms, and 71 by 47, which is a genuine room end and takes two children. The floor is your floor - a pen has no base - so most people put a mat under it, and one of the three arrives with one.

All 3 footprints on this shelf are one click away in the UANLAUO catalog: 47 × 47 in, 66.9 × 66.9 in or 71 × 47 in.

Questions parents ask

What families ask UANLAUO about playpens

What the footprints mean in a real room, how the gate works, whether a mat comes in the box, and the one thing a play yard is not for.

What does a UANLAUO playpen stand on in your room?

Your floor. There is no base in the box except on the 47 by 47 sold with a mat, so the pen is an edge around whatever is already there - boards, carpet, or a foam mat you put down first.

Can your baby open a UANLAUO playpen gate from the inside?

The zip pull sits on the outside of the panel, which is the whole reason it is designed that way: a toddler inside cannot reach it. It is a fabric gate rather than a latch, so it is a boundary, not a lock.

How tall are the UANLAUO playpen panels next to your sofa?

Twenty-six inches on the 47-inch pen, which is above the shoulder of a child who is pulling up and below the height of a sofa arm. The mesh runs the full height on all four sides, so you can see in from the kitchen.

Which UANLAUO playpen footprint fits your living room?

Forty-seven by forty-seven inches fits between a sofa and a wall in most rooms and is the one people take first. Seventy-one by forty-seven is a genuine room end and takes two children. Measure the outside of the panels and leave a hand’s width around them.

A mat is padding and a pen is a boundary. Neither is a sleep space: the federal definition of a play yard is a framed enclosure that includes a floor, and the enclosures here have no floor of their own. The Consumer Product Safety Commission asks parents to use products intended for sleep - a crib, a bassinet, a play yard or a bedside sleeper that meets federal requirements - and to move a baby to one of those if they fall asleep somewhere else. Neither a mat nor a pen replaces an adult in the room, and nothing on this site should be read as saying otherwise.
