Recommendations for a large playpen for a 10 month old

[corpjones]

Hi

Our 10 month old has started bum shuffling and hopefully will start crawling or walking within the next couple of months, we were thinking of buying a big playpen for occasional use to keep him safe and we need to step away for a few mins (we always have the baby monitor though!).

Was hoping to get some recommendations, seen a few on Amazon, ideally wanted to get something like 180 x 200cm or thereabouts so theres plenty of space for him for toys or he can take a few steps etc.

Advice appreciated :)

I just bought the biggest travel cot for times like nipping to the toilet or if I was home alone & say cooking. It had enough room for ds to have some toys, stand up to watch me through the kitchen door & once he went to bed I was able to just dump all his toys in it. We used it like this until he was about 2 plus it meant we had something to take with us if we went away, he started napping in it during the day & I bought an extra mattress & fitted sheets for when we went away. We had a caravan & during the summer it lived in the awning so he had somewhere to play safely as our site had a fishing lakes about 15 metres from our plot.
