We returned the x-pen at petsmart and they gave us store credit, so we bought a crate instead, and she learned how to open that too. So now we have to use locks on it or she'll hit the handle until it opens. LOL she is too smart! 
Hoping your baby will do better in an ex-pen than Luma did...lol  |
We had
exactly the same problems with our Harry (Houdini
), both with an x-pen, and the crate...we ended up using a padlock on the crate, even though I HATED the idea.
We only did that for a couple of weeks, then confined him to the kitchen instead....unfortunately he learnt how to open the kitchen door, by bouncing up and down and catching the handle...
So then we put a little bolt on 'this side'....that eventually thwarted him, until he got free run of the house - and he's as happy as can be with that arrangement!

Just felt that he was getting confused as to where he should go potty and play as kitchen is big.

They're not ALL escape artists...
I personally would start with one, and see what happens! Good luck! Sally + Harry x
