Play yard?

curlypie1

DD #2 is a full-fledged trouble maker. :-)

I think I need to invest in a play yard. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to have something that can be used outside as well.

Thanks!

ETA: I'm looking for the kind that fits together, not the pack n' play type.

We used this gate for about a year..  (crawling - ~16-18 mos)

It's nice because it can be fit together, but it can also block off areas (eg, when dh did a project in our kitchen, which is kind of open, we used it as our gate.

Nathan and Iris must be in cahoots. What's with these August babies and their need to speed up the growing process? Crazy kids.

We have this that we used a lot when the boys were younger.  It worked nicely around our Christmas tree as well.  The plastic can be a little hard to work with.  If I would have thought it through I probably would have gone with what kel has.  Not that ours is bad, but having the gate to go in and out of would have been a nice thing to have.

I wanted to add that we looked at the one identicaltwins has, but we opted for the nicer one.  One, we knew B wouldn't be able to climb it (nothing to grasp) and that it would give us a lot of options (gate off fireplace or TV if necessary...)

So for us, the added investment was worth it.  We did wait however until BRU had a coupon for babygates/sale or something (don't remember the specifics- it was 2 years ago!)
