Is it just me or have playpens gotten smaller?

Question

I went to buy a playpen the other day and they look so tiny! I am sure that six years ago my sons was bigger! Or perhaps I am losing my mind, that is always a possibility too. LOL

Answer 1

I think they might seem smaller because now usually when you buy a playpen it comes with the changing table and numerous other little add-ons.

Answer 2

I thought it was maybe because I got bigger:)

Answer 3

i was shocked when we got one for our son.

and set it up. he fills it one way and almost the other longer way!

i must admit i was not impressed.

Answer 4

LOL they do seem a lil smaller now. they used to be big and square without any gadgets attached to them. like in the 80's. lol

Answer 5

Some are now. You may have picked up a travel playpen type. They still make the bigger ones you just sometimes have a hard time finding them

Answer 6

I got my daughter one a couple months ago (the plastic gate ones not a pack'n'play) but I had to buy an extension because it was so small.

Answer 7

I think cause most people just use them these days to put baby to sleep in.  With all of the attachment parenting going on no one wants to "incarcirate" their little one I guess??? Lol.
