My 6 month old recently became mobile and it was a not so gradual thing so...

1. I needed something rather quickly-This came in 3 business days! 

2. I also wanted to get something for him to be able to explore new movements yet be limited to where he could go. There is more than enough room for him to roam around and hell still be able to utilize this when he breaks out in a full crawl. 

Im so glad I went this route as opposed to a play yard or pack and play. I feel so much more confident letting him freely navigate knowing hes restricted to a certain space. Its sturdy and much bigger than it looks in pictures and although it can be manipulated into a few forms, I do prefer the rectangular shape. My older kids can also fit in fairly comfortably to play with him. Im very pleased with this purchase!
