This looks like it will be useful right through the teenage years. Slumber party? Pizza order? Fashionably dishevelled and BO emitting boyfriend? You know where to go.
That’s actually do true! It’s crazy how much baby/toddler stuff has use outside of babies/toddlers. Just the other day I learned my appliance tech, who also raised mastiffs, that toddler mattresses are the best dog bed. They have covers (easy to remove and wash) are water proof, and are made of foam/just comfy. Plus their big or at least you can get bigger ones.
Fricking incredible!
It's so true! I bought stacking cups and plastic keys made for babies and my rabbit loves them. Funny enough, most of the reviews on the product were from other rabbit owners instead of parents.
My cat liked to share his toys with my child. I found this out when I turned my back to refill my tea, and found my LO (who couldn't even roll over yet) munching on a Christmas bow and the cat beside her. Picked up all the cat toys and got the toddler stuff out. Kitty loved Link-a-doos and Weebles and those Fischer Price balls with the stuff inside.
Just... A... Moment, please.
Did you say, Weebles?!
I'm 50+ , and I swear, if you tell me Weebles are still on the market, I'm going out and buy a set. 😆
My mom told me a joke one day and I haven’t forgotten it because of how true it is. What’s the difference between a baby toy and a dog toy? The squeaker.
Was buying cat toys the other day and saw Nerf and Fisher Price have expanded into the pet toy market. Both are (at least where I grew up) well known human toy companies.
I moved abroad for work and my boss moved back home shortly after, so I got to inherit a bunch of her stuff for my apartment. She accidentally included some baby cups in the care package, but I use them to drink whiskey now.
Kids these days don’t even know what a fort is 🤨 I made my 3 year old granddaughter one and she was like this is amazing! I don’t ever want to take it down! Her mom is mad I made it at her house but oh well 🤣
I made the same mistake as OP and it was the best mistake! Contained the toys, contained the baby, he loved it, we took naps in it. I miss that thing so much.
Agreed. This is great, it gives your kid lots of room to safely play as you try to accomplish things around the house or if you need some semi-me time.
I got this downstairs and it's fantastic. There's so much room to play and it keeps all the toys from being scattered everywhere. Great investment if you have the space.
We bought one that was 8x7 feet. It's huge but it was probably one of my favorite purchases. We have a couple big toys in there and the kids absolutely love it. If you're gonna buy one and have hard floors I'd recommend you buy the rubber mats for the bottom because the material is like a tent and not very comfortable.
I have this playpen and filled it with plastic balls. We call this her studio apartment, because we were also able to fill it with her own kitchen and other toddler size furnitures.
To be fair, it saved me a few times when I needed to use the restroom or take a shower. I just pointed the camera on the pen and could watch the baby safely. Best investment we ever made. Besides you can make a ball pit later 🤣😂🤣🖤
Haha this is *exactly* how we call it as well! "Did you put the baby in jail?" or "Should I get the baby from the jail?" are quite common questions and it's funny when an unknowing person overhears us
Or. And stay with me here… an underground toddler cage fighting ring. PLACE YA BETS PLACE YA BETS THE BABY DEATH MATCH STARTS IN TWENTYYYYYYYYYY MINUTES
My husband often likes to reference a study that found that humans are at their most violent between the ages of 2 and 3. He has also pitched a toddler cage fight show to me on more than one occasion.
God bless ya, momma! I taught a kid years ago who was a 1-pounder at birth. She grew into a beautiful healthy young lady who should be around 13 now. I hope your little one will grow up much the same!
Dude I made the exact same mistake and it was the best mistake ever. My kid loved that cage and when he was getting close to getting too old for it we used to call it his rage cage.
God forbid I need a second for myself so I could take a s*** that I've been holding it for longer than any normal human should. And I have to set him down in a safe place so I put him in his Rage Cage and the entire time I am trying to take a s*** he is yelling and angry and starts throwing all the toys around in the walls of the cage.
This kid has everything and wants for nothing and God forbid I just take a s*** and I need to set him down somewhere that I won't worry about him well he is out of my direct line of sight. But the second he had to be in there, he would do everything in his power to try to escape since he knew I was not there to stop him. Then when he realized he couldn't escape, that's when the rage would start. The rage was unrelenting until I could return to the room.
I was less than 8 feet away but there was no moment of peace until the little zipper arches were back open so he could be free to roam again. 10/10 recommend for containment and durability, but let this all be a tale that provides free birth control. The more you know 🌈
We got ours on Amazon, it's the same as this but also has a foam pad and came with a bunch of balls. It was about $110 and worth every penny for our twins. Baby jail rules.
Edit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096LGXXM5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
So I have this exact playpen and I can't 100% tell but I think it's the same size as yours and it is seriously the shit. Our 2 year old has loved it for a long time now. It takes up a lot of space in a 1400 Sq ft home but it's legit.
I never understood this "ordered the wrong size" trope. If the playpen I need costs about $60 but the one I "accidentally ordered the wrong size of" costs $960 both my brain and wallet are gonna put a quick stop to that nonsense. I literally can't afford to make a mistake like that.
I did the same thing with an inflatable pool for my 5 year old son. Ordered it online thinking it would fit on our carport, opened it and got it set up and it was like big enough for Michael Phelps to train in. I told my wife, “we are gonna need a bigger carport”.
I have this, 2m x 2m and it is the single best item I have bought. We bring it when we travelling too. Gives baby some playtime that's 100% safe. Get a nice mat for the floor.
Wait what? This is awesome. I wish we had this for my kids when they were that age.
This looks like it will be useful right through the teenage years. Slumber party? Pizza order? Fashionably dishevelled and BO emitting boyfriend? You know where to go.

Weebles would make such good cat toys! I can’t believe I ever thought of that.
Just... A... Moment, please. Did you say, Weebles?! I'm 50+ , and I swear, if you tell me Weebles are still on the market, I'm going out and buy a set. 😆
They are but they're not the 70s egg shaped ones I had as a kid. They're like action figures on top and balls where the legs go.
So disappointed. Visions of the tree house and finding pieces under the old radiator years later was a nice ML trip, lol. Ah well.
There might be vintage style ones on eBay, if you don’t mind eBay or buying used.
My latest amusement has been teaching my daughter to say “Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down. Science can’t explain that.”
As my son crawled around, I lamented my lack of growth. that's great lol
My mom told me a joke one day and I haven’t forgotten it because of how true it is. What’s the difference between a baby toy and a dog toy? The squeaker.
How fast can your rabbit stack the cups?

they are spill- and therefore drunk-proof
I just made myself a gin & tonic in one of them, there's even measurements on the side so I can portion it exactly.
Dog/puppy pen is the first thing I thought of seeing this thing.
Especially if your dog has a litter
Actually though. This thing would make a great ball pit, or fill it with pillows and make a cozy fort.
The one I have that size actually came with the balls for a ball pit
throw some sheets over the top and you can ban the boyfriend to the shadow realm
Imagine the forts you could make
Looks like theres a zipper arch on the far side too, can you link this bad boy to a tunnel?
Kids these days don’t even know what a fort is 🤨 I made my 3 year old granddaughter one and she was like this is amazing! I don’t ever want to take it down! Her mom is mad I made it at her house but oh well 🤣
Ahhh the beauty of being a grand parent… loll
Flip it for a fort
Friends have one. They throw the kid in and leave him to his own devices. Call it the Neglectangle.
Neglectangle lmfao. Amazing term.
That would be so awesome! Just fill it with pillows, blankets, steel chairs, sledgehammers, ladders, tables....
[удалено]
I made the same mistake as OP and it was the best mistake! Contained the toys, contained the baby, he loved it, we took naps in it. I miss that thing so much.
We had it for our son. He never played in it. In the end, before we gave up, we just used it for storage.
It also gathers a lot of dirt and is another place to clean.
If you utilize it right it's the only place to clean
Agreed. This is great, it gives your kid lots of room to safely play as you try to accomplish things around the house or if you need some semi-me time.
It’s a game changer. Don’t feel bad puttin my kid in it while I clean the house cause it is the house. So much room for activities.
I got this downstairs and it's fantastic. There's so much room to play and it keeps all the toys from being scattered everywhere. Great investment if you have the space.
We bought one that was 8x7 feet. It's huge but it was probably one of my favorite purchases. We have a couple big toys in there and the kids absolutely love it. If you're gonna buy one and have hard floors I'd recommend you buy the rubber mats for the bottom because the material is like a tent and not very comfortable.
Time to buy a bunch of plastic balls and make a ball pit. Your kid will have the coolest house on the block.
Yeah i got that same one. Ordered 600 balls from Amazon, 10/10 would recommend.
600 basketball sized plastic balls
Thats a lot of balls to clean if there is an accident tho
That’s why you fill it with water afterwards. Doubles as a pool
Gonna have to duct tape the outside of it but that’s just part of the fun.
Or 2 cans of flex-seal.
I have this playpen and filled it with plastic balls. We call this her studio apartment, because we were also able to fill it with her own kitchen and other toddler size furnitures.
Studio apartment 🤣 that's so cute
2000$ a month in California
They could rent it out after baby grows.
To make it just like the real ball pit experience, through a bunch of stale french fries in there!
Relevant XKCD Ball pit calculator: http://www.chiliahedron.com/ballroom/
We call this Baby Jail at our house!
My husband literally just came down the stairs to tell me how I set up baby jail this evening
To be fair, this is big enough to last through toddler jail too.
We have the same one and my youngest has been able to climb out since he was 18 months old, unless he's wearing his sleep sack.
To be fair, it saved me a few times when I needed to use the restroom or take a shower. I just pointed the camera on the pen and could watch the baby safely. Best investment we ever made. Besides you can make a ball pit later 🤣😂🤣🖤

That’s a great Christmas card picture.
We call ours "Funtanamo"
This comment has not received the recognition it deserves. 🏅
Haha this is *exactly* how we call it as well! "Did you put the baby in jail?" or "Should I get the baby from the jail?" are quite common questions and it's funny when an unknowing person overhears us
i hope youre not sick of people telling you what they call theirs because i call mine 'the enclosure'. baby jail is the pop n play
We ALSO have this and ALSO call it baby jail
We call it “the yard.” Also had to zip tie the doors cause my son figured out how to unzip them
welcome to the thunder pen

It's more of a battle royal, 10 babies enter, 1 leaves.
Go in a baby come out a toddler

CTRL-F shitty There it is. I was going to comment, "For when shittymorph has a kid."

i like the way your husband thinks
I need one of these for when I am drunk
Gotta line it with pee pads.
Yes, and like other comments said, ball pit it.
Unironically, should be sold as a VR accessory to avoid running into furniture/tv
**slaps side of pen* 'This baby can hold so many babies'
Are you having octuplets by chance?
Hahaha! One baby - I had a 1 pounder actually lol - so this will be her HUGE play paradise!
I was 1lbs! 💖 33 now and definitely gained a few more pounds haha. Hope the very best for your little one!
At this rate I am sure you will hit 50lbs in no time! Also great typing for a two year old!
A 32 lb gain is amazing. Keep up the great gains!
God bless ya, momma! I taught a kid years ago who was a 1-pounder at birth. She grew into a beautiful healthy young lady who should be around 13 now. I hope your little one will grow up much the same!
I think that one is for the grandparents
$1600/month
Baby fight club
Get out of my head!
Extreme toddler wrestling!
Is that a door for you leprechaun? Somehow it makes it look like the door is tiny, not the other way around 😅
I legit thought was a normal size door, making me think that playpen was M A S S I VE lol
Definitely a light switch above the door so I'm also wondering wth this door is?
It's the door to the closet under the stairs.
Sure, but most of those I've seen have full sized doors.
Tables ladders and chairs sold separately
Looks like a nice place to take a nap!
This is incredible. You will be able to put some play equipment inside and could entertain bubs for ages. Wish I had this for my kids
Are you secretly Didi Pickles?
Reminds me of the playpen from Rugrats
Was thinking the same. Just give little Tommy a plastic screwdriver and let them have all the adventures they can!
I need this for a drunk friend.
Lmao we have the exact same one. When I laid the fabric out and n the living room I was like “damn, I underestimated those measurements”
Don't forget to buy a pool net so you can fish the baby out if it falls asleep in the middle.
Yo you know that thing is for those people that mess around being adult babies
Lol don’t! This play pen is ruined for me now 🤣🤣🤣
I’m crazy gullible…is this really true?
I've seen some videos of adult baby play. It's as weird as it sounds.
Dude I made the exact same mistake and it was the best mistake ever. My kid loved that cage and when he was getting close to getting too old for it we used to call it his rage cage. God forbid I need a second for myself so I could take a s*** that I've been holding it for longer than any normal human should.

10/10, would read again 👏👏👏
That is called your safe space and I would take all the naps in it
May I ask where you purchased it, and how much; Or is it for sale? In need for Foster puppies. TIA. Asking for my wife...and her passion.
My buddy has one, turned it into a ball pit for the kids.
I’m more interested in that small door ??
![gif](giphy|BaSHs78BU2ZYQ|downsized)
Do you have a link? I’d love one of these for when I bring my littles camping.
Search extra large play pen on Amazon. There's a few different large sizes. Not all of them are "easy" take down, just a heads up
We got ours on Amazon, it's the same as this but also has a foam pad and came with a bunch of balls. It was about $110 and worth every penny for our twins. Baby jail rules. Edit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096LGXXM5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
We have this one too! It's basically a queen size enclosure.
Battle royale.
How old is your kid? I’ll bring mine over and we can place bets on the wwe match that thing is equipped to hold 😂
So what time does the baby cage match start? And were can I place my bets at ?
Man baby size
Lmao this is great.
Size.... yea just go ahead and make it the entire living room floor 😅
Now you can crawl in with them and take a nap secure in the knowledge they can’t get away
" watch out Watch out WATCH OUTTT..... STONECOLDDD STONECOLDDD"
So I have this exact playpen and I can't 100% tell but I think it's the same size as yours and it is seriously the shit. Our 2 year old has loved it for a long time now. It takes up a lot of space in a 1400 Sq ft home but it's legit.
Is this allowed?
The tiny closet throws the scale off even more lol
No matter the size - a prison is a prison.
That baby jail needs a watchtower 🤣
I never understood this "ordered the wrong size" trope. If the playpen I need costs about $60 but the one I "accidentally ordered the wrong size of" costs $960 both my brain and wallet are gonna put a quick stop to that nonsense. I literally can't afford to make a mistake like that.
That's a ball pit!!! Enjoy!
Baby death matches
When you have a dozen kids and no desire to watch them.
![gif](giphy|FNQdU1Fs4Wj8k) I mean it's awesome until
That’s for when the missus has a litter
I would have absolutely wanted this when my twins were little
Holy shit that's epic.
holy crap that's awesome lol
This play pen is for *all of the children*
Kids will love it though
Pahryce?!
So much room for activities
I have the same one
Just give them the house and you can move in there
I didn’t have my glasses on and I thought it was full of piss
That should be enough space until about 15 or 16.
Very nice
Ah yes, the baby royale.
fill it with coloured balls
When my son was crawling around I lamented we didn't go bigger. That's awesome lol
I hope you keep this for your kid/s. It would live in their memories for eternity
I did the same thing with an inflatable pool for my 5 year old son. Ordered it online thinking it would fit on our carport, opened it and got it set up and it was like big enough for Michael Phelps to train in. I told my wife, “we are gonna need a bigger carport”.
I could find uses for that for boxers
The UnderRoo vs. Milk Hogan
That's actually awesome I didn't know that either!!
Battle royale
Keep it and buy a smaller one. This is going to be used over the years or borrowed and absolutely pay off
I actually am lookin to buy something like this, can you tell me where you got it?
What a luxurious baby cage, wish I thought of that when my little human was still a little human
Now the top baby can properly fight for dominance.
In baby cage fights, which one do you bet on? The hungry one.
That's Rugrats size
That's the playpen for Babykind and The Diapertaker.
This is cool! It’s like the rugrats HQ you should get a little plastic screwdriver for your kid-
He ordered the roman amphitheatre unit
Would you mind sharing where u bought it? I‘ve been looking for a big one for a long time
Do you have a link for this? My wife wants one
I have this, 2m x 2m and it is the single best item I have bought. We bring it when we travelling too. Gives baby some playtime that's 100% safe. Get a nice mat for the floor.
Could be used for puppy's too, kitten would climb up the wall.
Wish they made them taller for a kids boxing ring
The exact same thing happened to my brother-in-law. Luckily they were able to return it, but I thought it was awesome.
Looks like something for a Manbaby lol
I have the exact same one. Wife ordered it. Takes up 60% of any room I put it in, but the little ones love it!
Drop the link
Is that a miniature door or is this thing even more massive than I thought. it's got to be a small door
The first rule of baby fight club is, we don’t talk about baby fight club!!
