[quote=Anonymous]I have 4 kids so have had a few different Nannies, gone on tons of playdates, seen photos from toms w/ the nanny, etc. I have never heard of someone using a giant playpen like they had a litter of puppies. Just do the minimal childproofing (knobs on range, outlet plugs, Knick knacks/junk out or up), anti-tip on top heavy or tall furniture, corner protectors on a few things and gates at the bottom and top of straight staircases). Otherwise let your child explore and teach him what is safe and what’s not. I can’t tell you the number of kids we’ve had over and they’ve been so over protected that they didn’t know how to safely use stairs, etc. Also you need ti look at the bigger picture. Something dumb like a playpen would have such a short shelf life that it would make no sense. [/quote]
