1. Play Pen
Safety Tips
Every Mum
Needs to
Know

2.  Every mum knows that play pens are
extremely useful. They allow you to let your
baby play in a safe space for a few minutes
while you get the dinner in the oven or when
you just need a few minutes to yourself.
 Play pens are perfect for babies that can sit on
their own and young toddlers who are always
on the go. But, there are some safety
precautions you should keep in mind to make
sure your child stays safe and sound while
spending time in a play pen.

3. Monitor Your Child’s Play
 Play pens are safe, but that doesn’t mean
you can leave your child unattended while
she plays in it. The idea behind a play pen
is to keep your child out of danger and give
her a safe place to play, but things can still
happen even in a safe play pen.
 When your child is in a play pen, monitor
her and check on her frequently. Make sure
she has safe toys and that she is still safely
in the play pen.

4. Do Not Place the Pen Near
Dangerous Objects
 If your child is able to stand up and reach
out of the play pen, he may be able to grab
things that could pose safety risks. When
you set up the play pen, make sure it isn’t
near things like hanging blinds, appliances
or furniture that can easily be pulled over.

 The best place for play pens is in an open
area near you, where you can keep an eye
on your child while he plays.

5. Frequently Inspect the
Condition of the Play Pen
 Play pens that are used a lot or that have been passed down
from older children need to be inspected frequently. Make sure
that that netting and padding isn’t torn, since a child could easily
rip material off and even choke on it. Also check to make sure
hinges are working correctly and the sides of the play pen are
sturdy.

 Obviously unsteady barriers can cause your child to fall should
he lean on them, but they can also cause suffocation. If your
play pen has a pad on the bottom, a loose barrier could create
a space between the side of the play pen and that mat that a
child could roll into where he won’t be able to breathe.

 It is very important that your play pen is kept in the best shape
possible and that you don’t use a play pen that has any kind of
damage.

6. Do Not Hang or String Toys
from the Top of the Play Pen
 It is best to place toys inside the play
pen with your child, instead of stringing
or hanging them above the play pen.
When things are hanging above her
head, your child may grab them and try
to climb out of the play pen, which could
cause her to fall and get hurt. Hanging
items, especially strings or cords also
pose a choking hazard.

7. Do Not Leave Screws, Bolts
or other Parts Exposed
 Things like screws, bolts and other
hardware pieces can be dangerous if
they are left exposed. When your play
pen is assembled, these things should
not be protruding either inside or outside
the play pen. Your baby could pinch or
cut himself on these parts and if he tries
to climb out, he could get caught on
them, which could lead to choking.

8. Discard Recalled Play Pens
 If you have a play pen that is recalled,
you should stop using it immediately and
discard it. Play pens are recalled when a
safety hazard has been discovered, so
continuing to use it puts your child at
risk. Even if you haven’t had a problem
with the recalled model, follow
manufacturer suggestions and stop
using it. Replace it with a new play pen
that meets safety requirements.

9. Always Read and Follow
Instructions
 Each play pen comes with a specific set of
instructions, which may also include safety
precautions. Even if putting your play pen
together and using it seems self explanatory,
read the directions carefully and make sure to
follow them each time you use the play pen.

 Play pens are an excellent way for mums to
keep their little ones safe and entertained so
they can get a few things done and even put
their feet up and relax for a few minutes. As
you use your play pen, be sure to follow these
safety guidelines so your toddler will stay safe.
