Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Dripex baby playpen is number four in this guide and, on the listing's own measurements, it has the largest floor area of the pens compared here: 190.5 x 190.5 cm in the specification table, rounded to 190x190cm in the title. That is 3.63 m² of floor for £118.98, which works out at roughly £32.80 per square metre. It is a foldable plastic fence listed with 18 panels, a door that opens only from the outside, a cartoon design and a 6M-3Y age range, rated 4.3 out of 5 from 2,541 ratings and ranked 9th in Playpens.
The number on this listing that does not hold together is the panel size. The same bullet that gives 18 panels also gives "75x75x24 inches". Seventy-five inches is 190.5 cm — the length of one whole side of the assembled pen — and 24 inches is 61 cm, the height given in the specification. Eighteen panels each 75 inches across would run to 1,350 inches; the perimeter of the assembled pen is 300 inches. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it is written, not from any test of our own.
