Rank #6 in Best Baby Playpen 2026: 10 Ranked by Floor Space, Not Panels
CHOLY Baby Playpen, 128 x 128 cm, Dark Grey
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The CHOLY Baby Playpen sits sixth in this guide, and at £33.99 it is the cheapest entry in it. The listing gives an assembled size of 128 x 128 x 68 cm and a floor area of 1.64 m² — and here the two numbers agree, because 1.28 m by 1.28 m is 1.64 m². At £33.99 that works out at roughly £21 per square metre of floor, the lowest figure in this guide.
The number that does not hold together is the folded size. The spec sheet lists 63 x 24 x 22 cm, yet the first bullet describes a "non-folding baby playpen", and reviewers below say it does not collapse for storage. The rest of the sheet gives 3.2 kg, a 15 kg maximum weight recommendation, mesh cloth and stainless steel, and a best sellers rank of 1 in Playpens. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“ITS BLOODY HUGE! 🤣 Bought this as I'm away at my dad's for two weeks dog sitting and needed a play space for my 6 month old. It takes up half the living room 🤣 loads of space for baby to play. I put a foam jigsaw mat in just for a bit of softness. It's pretty simple to assemble when you read the instructions. Im a single momma and did by myself in 20 minutes. It's got really tall walls so if you have a German shepherd, they're not getting on here 😅 despite the size throwing me off, I am very happy with this! It's not heavy so you can shift it around if needed and will be easy enough to put down again!”
Verified purchase“Big playpen, keeps little one safe, easy to assemble, be warned though doesn't collapse for storage and takes up a lot of room. I use on daily basis for babysitting grandchild and have to leave assembled but apart from that it honestly is a great item.”
