Good points
• No tool is required to assemble/disassemble.
Bad points
• Very minor issue: Corner joints that protrude on the inside of the playpen may cause injury when a part of the child's body (such as the head) comes into sudden or speedy contact.
Some amount of effort and a tool is needed to disconnect the panels.
• Extra care must be taken to avoid the finger pinch points.
• Feels heavy.

Passed key safety requirements
View more details.
Models that pass key safety requirements have no serious issues. Ones that score around 60-65% for performance may have minor hazards such as a door that doesn't self-close or edges/projections that could injure if a child runs into them. Serious failures include detachable small parts, snagging/strangulation hazards, climbing footholds or failure of the limb or head entrapment requirements of both Australian cot and European playpen standards.
