What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?

CHOICE Expert Rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Good points

• Has a gate, so there's no need to lift the child over the sides.
• No tool is required to assemble/disassemble.

Bad points

• Serious safety failures: 1. Playpen has some potential points where a child's clothing could snag (strangulation risk). 2. Gate can be opened from inside the playpen by simply sliding the latch (and it does not engage automatically when the gate is closed). 3. Potential footholds which could be used for climbing out of the enclosure. 4. Major head entrapment risks at numerous openings. 5. Limb and finger entrapment risks. 6. Structural integrity is inadequate. Panels can be easily separated by applying a vertical force.
• There's up to 14 individual pieces to put together.
• Feels heavy and large.
• We informed Amazon Australia about the playpen failures and since our review they have removed the listing for sale, but it may be listed at other retailers.

Ones that score around 60-65% for performance may have minor hazards such as a door that doesn't self-close or edges/projections that could injure if a child runs into them. Serious failures include detachable small parts, snagging/strangulation hazards, climbing footholds or failure of the limb or head entrapment requirements of both Australian cot and European playpen standards.
