How exactly do you put this together? I mean the basic playpen, not the pad.

Putting the playpen together is extremely simple, takes less than a minute - you start by pushing the center down into place and then you pull up on the middle of the sides and they click in place (there's a hidden button). There are instructions right on the playpen in the event that you forget. This is the best playpen ever!

Pull up the sides til they snap in place. Then push down in the middle. Really sime and quick. We love it

I am so sorry I saw a small pkg with tools to put it together but I can't remember what exactly was in it. The manufacturer is very nice. I would encourage you to contact the seller and request a solution to fix it. I am sorry but the desk is really cool I bought it for my son and he is really enjoying it. Good luck

The floor piece of the playpen is padded, so it can be used as a bed without buying another piece. We have a crib for every night use, but use a playpen when we're on vacation, etc. Unless you're planning on using it as a primary, every night bed/crib, I wouldn't worry about spending the extra money on something that you aren't going to use as often and would be difficult to store. I would recommend the sheet, though, as the fabric/lining doesn't seem overly comfortable. Graco sells fitted sheets specifically for their playpens, but the sizing seems to be standard among brands of playpens and sheets.

It would mainly depend on his weight. Not sure the specs(can google it). It's larger than the average playpen's, so good to keep them busy. All depends on the child & their willingness to stay in there;)

You have to assemble everything down to putting the stickers on it. The instructions are not very helpful either. Use the instructions and the box as a guide. Besides having to assemble this my son (3 years) loves it and uses it every day in his sand pit. We have also taken it to our local beach volleyball court so he could dig trenches! :)

Depends where the playpen is located. Ours is set on carpet so we placed weights at some areas on the outside perimeter so our 16 month old does not push the walls outward. Sandbags will work also

You have to put it all together. But in all fairness... Had we read the instructions first it would have been much easier! ;)

I just use a regular pack-n-play sheet for it. It doesn't fit perfectly but it's tight enough. You can buy the Bjorn sheets on amazon, but they are much more expensive.

There is foam inside. It's pre-cut into squares... just pull out the squares you don't need to make the spaces.

No, it comes ready to use. It has a mattress, sheet, and all of the straps for the bed. There is almost no assembly required. It unfolds like a playpen. Later you may want to buy extra sheets for bed. They are a unique size for the mattress and most stores don't sell them. We never needed an extra sheet so we never bought one.

It is not padded so make site it is on a rug or grass if you will use slide. I think slide would work - I have both but did not use them together.

I always felt it was on the smaller side so we had the extra panels from the start. I also have to add that my daughter never sat still long enough to even take a photo so she needed all the space we could give her. If you have a calm infant, he may be okay in the playpen itself for now. thou once he starts walking you still want him to have the extra space to stretch his little legs and run :)

I purchased 3 of the playpens and am happy with them. I do not use the door panel of the playpen and use snaps to fasten to the corners of the door side of the crate. Very easy to do. The crates I use are the portable metal wire show crates.

I can say that I know it needs a solid frame to attach to. It will not attach to my daughters net sided portable playpen/crib. Hope this helps.

I used the pack and play sheets and a thin waterproof pad under the sheet but the pad is soft enough without any padding.

Yes you can expand. I did see expansion set on amazon 2 or 4 Piece sets brand must be the same. Or you can buy a second playpen and combine the two.

The smaller playpens do not its all one piece. I have 2 small ones and two large ones I use them all.
