Evenflo Versatile Play Space Adjustable Play Area, 8-Panel (Cool Gray)

Everything about it, its true to design and description. It works for what I need it to do. Chloe hates it. Got to set boundaries.

My child loves this and so do I. I was hesitant to buy this because of the reviews but I am glad I did. This play space gives my child room to be more independent and it gives me peace of mind knowing she is in a safe space. The playgate is plastic and my child has fallen when she tired to stand but I have never had any issues with the plastic being too sharp or something to cut her she has been just fine. The gate can be easily opened and easily shaped to whatever space you need.

I purchased this gate about 12 years ago when I had my first toddler in the house. The product at that time was sturdy, durable, heavy-duty. I had the item well after my last child needed it and used this gate outdoors to block off areas of the yard to keep dogs and chickens from wondering into the front. Anyway, after all those years of weathering, getting beat up and kicked around, my final gate panel broke and I purchased this new one. I received it yesterday and needed to express my disappointment in this gate. I do understand that over the course of time companies try to save money and make changes. However, this gate is no longer the quality item it used to be. Cheap plastic, not heavy-duty, it does not stand up as strait as the old one did, the plastic is thin and when set up it does not stand rigid; I need to prop the ends up against something to hold it up (I didnt need to do that with the old one). Mind you, I am not using this with all the pieces connected together in order to close up a child, I use mine to keep the chickens off the deck, so maybe it may be sturdier when connected together. However, I cant imagine this gate would be sturdy enough to withstand a child pulling itself up or banging against it. That being said, I do like the improvements made on the connective features-they have made it easier to take the pieces apart and secure together. I also like the option of colors although I do wish they still offered the brown tone. Overall, Im keeping it, it works for my needs and was reasonably priced, but it will not survive 12 years like the old one. Im sure some millennials will think this product is great, but they have nothing to compare it with. Too bad.

This really helped when you need to do things around the house. My only critique is my 1 1/2 year old would climb and it would fall over. Not for big kid use.

We have a small house so having something that we can assemble and disassemble quickly and store compactly is important for us, and this playpen fits the bill. We originally bought six panels and love how we were able to buy an extra two panels to adjust the size. That was a huge plus. I appreciate how the panels easily move around the hinges. We borrowed a similar Toddleroo playpen once, and it was SO hard to unfold the panels. We got the gray and like how it doesnt look garish in the living room. One con is that its definitely not a one-handed operation to open a panel like a fence. Its honestly just faster to step over it, though I worry about my parents falling while doing this. Its also not the most sturdy, but thats the tradeoff you make to have something light weight. You absolutely have to have it in an octagonal shape instead of a rectangle for it to not collapse when your baby pulls up on it to stand. Luckily we havent had any accidents yet. If Evenflo could put a gate on one of the panels, this would awesome.

I bought this to put around our Christmas tree in order to keep my toddler away from the tree. It was a much cheaper option than a lot of other playpens recommended for that purpose. It worked. But since Christmas we have used it as a playpen. Its only so-so as a playpen. When my toddler leans against it, as she does all the time, the whole thing tilts. Nothing bad has happened, but it probably shouldnt do that. Worked great for the Christmas tree though!
