There are many things to think about and look into before you go searching for your bargain baby playpen. First decide if you need one right away. Most likely you will not.

A playpen is definitely an item you can spend time looking for, even after baby has arrived.

Before you purchase a Baby Playpen consider these tips:

• Check recall lists before purchasing a used playpen. Safety comes first!
• Playpens can be super handy for busy parents. They allow you to do tasks while baby entertains himself. Never leave baby unattended, though.
• If space is an issue, consider buying a travel size playpen. These are smaller and lighter and can easily be taken to Grandma’s house too!
• If buying a used playpen, be sure to check for tears, loose parts, sturdiness of floors, and worn areas. Check that all locking devices are working and cannot be reached by baby.
• Baby playpen deals can be found in many stores like Walmart, Target, K-Mart and Babies R Us. They offer low cost playpens at about $60-$70.
• Be an Internet Investigator! Search on the many coupon websites for deals and sales and coupon codes!
• Whether you choose a new or used playpen, check for the JPMA JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association) label to ensure it meets safety standards!
• When shopping, be sure to follow the height and weight requirements.

A baby playpen is an excellent tool whether you are new parents, or have other children in your house. Once you have decided that you would like a playpen, take the time to find the one that fits your family’s needs.
