Playpen

Growing children are extremely active and mobile, they are interested everything: a taste of the TV remote, forgotten by their parents on a chair, and what is hidden in these two holes in the plastic box on the wall, which parents ridiculously call “socket”, or may be this journal / newspaper / book left on the table is delicious. What if I try it? Millions of questions are in the small head of your baby. Children will be able to do hundreds of the most incredible things one in a second when parents are away.

The only salvation for parents is a playpen, where you can leave the baby for some time.

Playpen is a special device, which is a fitting (frame), a soft cover material, standing on feet, that have a bottom, there are also wooden playpens, as well as there are hybrid models of playpen beds.

There are a wide variety of forms of playpens. It can be round, square, rectangular, angular, and even octagonal. The area of playpen should not be less than the area of child’s bed. The child should freely move in the playpen, turn around, and lie down. Construction of playpen should be sustained, babies often put all the weight by lying on one of the sides, but playpen should not turn.

Playpen is the first personal square space of your baby. It is their personal territory, where he/she is the owner. It’s a good idea to put there favorite toys and items of your baby. The main advantage of a playpen is that it is compact, easy to make up the majority of models, either in the plane (legs folded, the upper bumper is lowered to the bottom) or in a small structure (like an umbrella or a book). It is easy to fit it in the trunk of the car and move with you: to the farm, in the country and to sea. Playpen also helps when you’re moving and when you are planning to stay somewhere for a long time. It will be much easier for the baby to adapt to a new environment when he feels himself in his territory.

Playpen also serves as a simulator. Special ring located around the perimeter of a playpen are affective for the growth of a child. The child will catch them and starts to stand, then walk around the perimeter. If such rings are present in the playpen then you should pay attention to the baby’s age and his physical conditions.
