is 200 enough for age range 1-3 yrs old in a square playpen size 38" x 38"? or should i purchase two of them? any thoughts? Thanks!

In my opinion for a playpen, 200 would be enough for a 1-3yr old. However, to make it more fun and really fill up the playpen, I would maybe get two sets. The balls get tossed around and maybe a few misplaced. My son is obsessed with balls right now so balls get taken in the car, to the grandparents or left behind in the yard etc. We have only had 1 set and they are still enough for now and going strong. If we were to have another party I would order a 2nd set to really fill up my sons pool.

One should be enough. But if you are looking for crush proof balls these are not it. My 9 month old could bite them and step on them and they collapsed. I was very disappointed.

I would personally purchase two. Unfortunately that's more for mom and dad to pick up but we ended up buying another bag for our great nephew. Have fun!

In my opinion, 4 children or so that age would be able to play comfortably in there. Maybe a couple more, but they wouldn't have much of their own area. Very room for just 2 kids. HOpe that helps.

I have a different model, a model in which the sides of the play yard bow outward, making it so the middle of the playpen is wider than the top or the bottom. The reviews I have seen where they were complaining about the fit were models like mine, so I assume it will fit your playpen very nicely. I also recommend disregarding the comment about how hard it is. Baby mattresses HAVE to be very firm, or else it increases the risk of SIDS. They are supposed to be a lot harder than a mattress you would buy for a real bed. This mattress is about the same if not softer than the one that a baby sleeps on in the hospital. It is also WAY softer than the "padded" mat provided with the play yard. My daughter is now 5 months and the only way we could get her to sleep in her play pen was after we put this mattress in.

As a matter of fact, I purchased this originally as a ball pit for my son. 200 balls fills it up about half way. 300 may be a little more than what you need, but it should fill it up near the top if you do. I didn't go higher than 200 because of the nature of what kids will do in it, displacement is inevitable.

My son just had his third birthday and he's extremely active. It's the perfect size for him to go wild and tire himself out. He had a play date with his two year old cousin and they played safely together, occasionally bumping into one another. I wouldn't put more that two active toddlers in at once, but if I had smaller babies, maybe three.

I comes with 75 balls and if the 200 you speak of are the same size, I question if they will fit. It may also cause the balls to come out too fast because of the weight of them all, sending some bouncing on the floor. I would consider getting a cage that is more closed in and use paper tickets. They call it a raffle drum, I think.

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.

I did a bag of 100 and it was plenty for toddlers. You would probably need double for bigger kids.

I'd think it depends on how elaborate your child wants to make their play set. The 48 piece was always enough for my daughter.

no it wont be any good. not even good for 1 guinea pig, super tiny. if you have a c&c; cage you better off using those grids to make a play pen. if you dont have c&c; cage you can always buy some mesh storage cubes that has 9 holes and make your own play pen with it.BB&B; has the cheapest storage cubes, amazon sellers price has gone up 200%

It would depend on the child. I would think for sure until 6. It's a good size. Just depends on the child's interests.

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

I would say one box per child is sufficient. I have 4 children ages 5,3, 2, and 2 and they all have their own box to play with. It's really and awesome molding toy. As a mom, I like kinetic sand so much better than PlayDoh. Kinetic sand doesn't dry out like PD and it doesn't stick to anything and everything like PD does. Such a fun sensory toy for kids of all ages. My husband even thinks it's pretty great :-)

You will be very happy with this Baby Diego Cub'Zone playpen. Ours is a year old and it looks like new. Our granddaughter is almost 2 now and we will be using it on our 9 month old grandson. They love to play in it. Feel safe knowing where they are. You will not go wrong with this. Strong and sturdy.

I believe on all Fisher-Price Laugh&Learn; products stands 6-36 months, not neccessarily means that it's from 6-36 months but wanting to say that can be used for a long time and played on many different ways. I have 4,6 years old and 11 month old baby, and they both love it :) Younger one is not yet putting coins in himself, but if I place it on the opening, he will push it down.. he will take it from the piggy if I open the 'window' thingie, and he will enyoy the music. And he will walk around with coins in his mouth and chew on them, of course :) Older one is very creative in playing :) Another great toy from Fisher Price :) I believe on all Fisher-Price Laugh&Learn; products stands 6-36 months, not neccessarily means that it's from 6-36 months but wanting to say that can be used for a long time and played on many different ways.

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 :)

Christmas present? I use it in therapy (I am a speech pathologist) with kids as young as 3, but I think you could use it with 2 year olds. 18 months might be a bit young as they may just want to put it in their mouths. It depends on the kid though. If you think the kid is really sharp then try it. If the child will be monitored while they play (you faciltate it) they may have fun with it, but 18 month olds don't really get the concept of toppings yet. So to sum up, I would wait until they are a bit older. Up to you.
