Playpen Brands

A closer look at popular playpen brands

The number of different playpen brands on the market may have left you wondering which one is right for you and your baby. A side-by-side comparison often provides the clarity you need to make a decision. Here’s a look at a few popular brands.

Chico: Despite the fact that this brand doesn’t offer a huge selection, Chico playpens are high-quality and affordable. The brand offers a basic option as well as a 4-in-1 option, which means it can be used as a changing table, bassinet, toy gym, or just a simple playpen. Expect to pay at least $150 for one of these.

Eddie Bauer: If style is an important factor in your decision, you may want to consider an Eddie Bauer playpen. This brand combines style with advanced features and top quality. Anticipate spending at least $100 for a basic model and around $175 for a more deluxe model.

Graco: The large selection this brand offers makes it a rather popular brand when it comes to playpens. The price range starts around $60 and goes as high as $200. While each playpen is designed to be transported easily, the more basic models tend to be easier because there simply aren’t as many pieces.

Simplicity for Children: Like Graco, Simplicity for Children offers a fairly large selection of playpens. You can choose from playpens equipped with a variety of features and styles. You should plan on paying around $100 for a basic one and a little more for one equipped with more features.
