advice please!!
Jd has started to move more and looks like he'll be crawling soon!!! However i need to make sure he's safe if i need the loo etc so would it be worth buying a play pen? I've had mixed responses off family so thought i'd dsee what you all think? He wouldn't be in it all day just if i need to pop upstairs etc, ones i've seen are bout 80 odd pound so not cheap and don't want to waste my pennies.Thanks x x

Hiya Sarah
I used a travel cot as my playpen for a while when Cameron was starting to become mobile!! Now though i tend to take him with me as we don't really have the room for a travel cot anywhere in the house
I just take Bronwyn with me!
I have a stair gate at the top of the stairs, the bedroom doors are shut and she can crawl up and down the landing, pull faces in the mirror or laugh at me on the loo! She's well happy!
We used a travel cot for riley when he was a new mover,we were lucky enought to be given it by a neighbour who no longer needed it. It was peace of mind that he couldnt hurt himself and had tons of toys around to keep him amused if i was nipping to the loo or desperate to get ironing done in the day.
Why not try freecycle or charity shops.
harrison hated his playpen, everytime i put him in he cryed and got very upset so even going to the loo became a struggle, instead i put a stair gate up in the living room and made it baby proof so he was safe and just left him happily playing... x good luck
