Waste of money
I bought this play yard so I could get some chores done, cook dinner and leave the living room to go to the bathroom (which isn't far I can see living room from bathroom). I haven't managed to get much done at all and I am still being followed to the bathroom even after putting my 13 month old in his play pen. I followed all the instructions and got the extra links so he could have even more room but its worthless. If he isn't climbing over it then he climbs under it and just for fun he pushes it all over the house. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I saved all our Christmas and birthday money because I thought it would be a good investment since it is so tall and would hopefully last awhile. The gate is made of light plastic with some strips across the middle that helps my little one flip over the top when he climbs up, he sticks his little toes into the holes all over the gate to get to the middle then launches himself over head first. I think they should have made vertical slats like how cribs are, so he has no where to stick his toes in to help him climb. I personally think this gate is a safety hazard and i can't believe it was approved. I don't know what to do now as I have an ineffective gate, I'm out over 0.00, I can't get anything done (even use the bathroom), and both my husband and I are part of the 12% California unemployed but desperately searching for work (which is hard to look for jobs when your child is ripping out the cords to your computer). Sorry for the rant but I am seriously angry and they aren't answering my calls. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS GATE SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET SOMETHING HEAVIER, AND STURDIER WITH VERTICAL SLATS unless you like going to the E.R. often with a child with a head injury. I have had to go a few times but thank god only minor issues. I no longer use the gate because of how dangerous it is. BTW it says can be used for children up to 24 months, mine is only 13 months.
The one good thing about the gate is the latch it works great.

Easy to use
I love this play yard! It's easy to set up and take down and stores flat against the wall when not in use. It's shape is flexible so it can be used anywhere that needs a specific shape. Like a small room or around furniture that cannot be moved.

My great grandson loves playing on the floor but needs protection from my 3 dogs that seem to gravitate all over him, knocking him down, licking his face etc. when ever they can reach him. Now he can play safely and still be able to see everything. I'm looking forward to taking the playyard outside this summer so he can play outside too and not fall off our raised back deck. This play yard also fits in the car to take on picnics and outings.

Very happy that I bought it.

Good gate, but wont keep in a climber!
We bouth this last year to put around the Christmas tree so that our daughter wouldn't be pulling ornaments off the tree and breaking them. It worked great! Afterwards, it worked great until she was about two. At that point she would climb it and get out. Also, she eventually learned how to push the whole thing over (which terrified me) and we ended up having to ancor it to the wall. She's two and a half now and we still put her in it sometimes, if she's really tired and we don't think she will try climbing it.

satisfied customer
i bought this product three weeks ago for my dog and her pupies and so far i am very satisfied with it thanks.

It came broken
When I received the Surround play yard, two panels were broken( the knobs at the bottom that connect two panels together were snapped off and in the bottom of the box). I did not return the item because the next day I had a 15 year old beagle returning home from major neck surgery and needed it immediately. I've been using it as a pen with four panels but I definitely didn't get what I payed for.
