Reira, i thought about it before also. Okay it is really not cheap so i wanted to plan properly.
Till i read that when baby start walking, they try to climb up/over the play yard and even got one baby injured badly, i decided not to get it. Cuz think about it, it is more for our own convenience so we can put baby inside safely and do our own chores at the same time, but it doesnt really help our baby in their development right, there is only one activity panel which provides things that we can easily get from a walker, other than that it is just a tool to keep our baby inside and nothing else lor, and it is not as safe as it supposed to be since there are not just one but more cases about baby get injured. So the most i think we can use it for a year only, once they start standing/walking it is not safe to use it anymore..
that's just my personal thoughts lah nothing against it really.. i rather just keep my baby in his own room and make it a safe room for him with just the bumper mat and his toys, plus think it is also impt to let them explore the whole house so their brains get stimulated and they learn more things, just that we got to be very careful and keep an eye on them at all times lor..
