Toddleroo 8 Panel Baby Play Yard on Amazon

Use this versatile play yard inside or out. The plastic panels connect to each other at the joints by pushing down with some force. Each panel measures 32 inches wide by 26 inches tall, meaning most adults can step over the play yard height. The plastic mesh lets plenty of air through and allows for lots of visibility. Connect all the sides to make an enclosure, or use the panels in a line to prevent access to certain areas of your home or yard. Out camping? It works great to keep pets and small kids in your campsite and away from vehicles and any other hazards so you can relax together.

We use our folding play yard for small pets.

When not in use, disconnect one side and fold the panels on top of each other. When compacted this way, the play yard takes up much less space and can fit inside closets and vehicles. The sturdy plastic will hold up for years, even with lots of use and repeated set up.

While there’s no substitute for supervision, this fence goes a long way to keeping kids and pets safe. It can be used two ways – to contain the smallest members of the family, or to keep them out of a designated space. It works equally well indoors and out and requires no additional tools or setup, like screws or holes in the ground. The sturdy freestanding panels can withstand a lot of action. You can get a similar setup with a baby-safe gate inserted into one panel for easier access. It also comes in a variety of colors, in case you don’t like the basic sand neutral color.

We’ve used our play yard out camping and at home, even though our kids have gotten much older.

We bought ten panels of this folding play yard at a yard sale last year, and have used it constantly since then, even though my kids are well past the age for it. We’ve used it for our pets when camping and at home, so they can enjoy the outdoors without getting into trouble. The fence has no problem keeping our small dog contained and away from hazards. It also keeps her out of harm’s way when the kids play outside. Yet she can stay close by for company/companionship.

If you want an easy way to keep your young kids or small pets in or out od specific spaces, this play yard fits the bill.
