All the extra features specially the changing table come in super handy. I use this play pen in my living room and it is convenient to just get diapers changed then and there. I have a daughter and one on the way and no matter what the gender, these colors are very neutral. I like that I can store diapers and other essentials on the side with out my toddler being able to access them.  I did feel like it was a bit tricky to get it set up the first time but it is not an issue since I hope to leave it in my living room. Over all very happy with this product.
