4Baby Playpen & Room Divider 94023 review
6-sided playpen. Priced at $219.
Good points
Claims compliance to the latest European playpen standard.
Has a gate, so there's no need to lift the child over the sides, and the gate latch is easy to operate with one hand.
Can be set up in other configurations, e.g. a safety barrier, and includes parts for wall mounting.
Has a play mat (not pictured).
Bad points
Very minor issue: Upper corner joints that protrude on the inside of the playpen could cause injury when a child's head, for instance, comes into sudden or speedy contact with them.
Some amount of effort and a tool is needed to connect/disconnect the panels.
Extra care must be taken to avoid the finger pinch points.
Feels heavy and tends not to keep its form well.

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.
