[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 yo twins with a very open floor plan.  I went to several consignment sales starting just before they were born until they were about a year old and bought about 60-70 panels of superyards (they usually come in a set of six panels).   When they were infants, we started with a pen in their playroom that we would sometimes put them in.  As they grew, the pen grew larger and larger until it was hugging the walls (we put floor lamps just behind, and used it to keep them away from air vents and plugs).  Finally around 18 months, we took down the playards and put a gate over the entrance archway.  For the rest of the first floor, we just cordon off anything they are not supposed to get into (stairways, living room, TV, etc) and they have the run of the rest of the first floor.

These are the panels we use.  I like them because they are pretty easy to find and you can extend the set by adding on additional panels easily.

Good lord, I can't even imagine setting up 70 of those things![/quote]
