For what it is, it’s good.,
The way it looks doesn’t bother me that much; what does bother me is that my son, by the age of 12 months, had learned how to push this thing around. It doesn’t anchor to anything, so he started to shove it all over the living room, making it tip and generally creating chaos. My solution was to attach those removable non-marring 3M “Command” hooks to the wall and tie coated wire around them, then lash that wire to the play yard. It doesn’t look beautiful, that’s for sure, but it works; the play yard doesn’t budge any more. If your little one is walking, you too will have to jury-rig a solution to their tendency to push the yard around and even lift it if they’re strong enough.
I also recommend you get those colorful interlocking foam tiles to put under the play yard; it makes the play area a bit safer. Amazon sells the “Edushape” brand, but you can get various brands just about anywhere.
All in all, it’s not an elegant solution, but weary parents who need a break will love it with all its flaws.

|Not really for children,
The worst part was trying to return them. They were placed in one order, but Amazon shipped them as two. When requesting a ‘call tag’ to retrieve them, they only picked up one box. The other remained on my front porch. Multiple emails and calls finally rid me of the other gate and I received my refund.
I ended up buying two Kidco Playdens PD10. They connected together in the 8′ X 4′ configuration I needed (I called Kidco first to make sure), there is two swinging entries, it is very sturdy, it is taller than the Superyard, and they can not climb it. This solution costs more, but was really my only option.
For children of the age where they are challenging their standing and climbing skills, I would keep moving when looking at this product.

|This has been wonderful,
One day I had the idea of getting a play yard for the great room, instead of covering/blocking every single potential “hazard” (the entertainment cabinet, the CD tower, etc.). I ventured to Babies R Us and found this play yard and the extension kit (2 extra panels) and bought it. I set it up at home and have been happy with it ever since.
For awhile, I used it in its totally enclosed state, but the baby didn’t like being separated from the rest of us. I tinkered with it and came up with a way to keep her out of trouble, while still allowing her access to us – right now, it’s in a large arc shape with one end butting up against the couch, the other end butting up against a chair. She has plenty of room to play (I keep her toys in there with her) but she can’t get out or get to any “dangerous” stuff in the great room.
As for looks, yeah, our great room isn’t company-ready right now. But we have a 4 year old and a 10-month-old in the house, so the house isn’t pristine anyway (my house is CLEAN, just not always NEAT…ha ha). I figure it’s temporary, until she’s old enough to know to not touch certain things. Besides, we don’t have company, except for family, so the unattractive-ness of the play yard isn’t an issue here. Even so, I’d gladly overlook the ugliness of it just for the convenience and benefits it provides.
When the time comes that we no longer have to use this for the kiddo, I’ll probably hang onto it, either to offer up to friends/relatives someday, or to keep as a puppy play yard for the future.
