What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?

CHOICE Expert Rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Good points

• Can be reconfigured from a square into a smaller rectangular or square playpen.
• Its weight feels OK for moving around and it keeps its form well, but it is large.

Bad points

• Minor safety failure: Too easy for a child to lift. Kmart says in the absence of an Australian standard for playpens, they apply the relevant UK, EU or US standards.

Products we've recommended have passed all our safety and durability tests. We sometimes find that no products pass all our safety tests, so that we can't recommend any, but usually find some models with only minor failures that are still worth considering.

Models that pass key safety requirements have no serious issues. 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.
