oh nooo! Pixie is 3lbs...she can't jump up on our sofa which is lower than the pen itself...so i'm hoping she won't be able to do that!

Summer Infant Secure Surround Gate by Summer - Model 46077811 at Kmart.com

That looks fab!

What does something like this run? I'm thinking I could use one of these for my two when we travel.

Depends where you get it from, the smaller one is anywhere from 69-90 dollars and the larger is around 120-250.
I got the larger one from dog.com for $120

We got ours at Wal-Mart it's a baby playpen for about $60 and it does the same job...

I have that same pen, but the blue larger one. I like it a lot. My baby hasn't tried to jump out of it at all. You can get a mesh cover if they do like to jump though. Here is a link to one that might work: Especially For Baby Play Yard Netting - Babies 'R' Us - Babies "R" Us

I love it!!! and I love the color!!!

Super cute! I purchase one at target but all is doing here is collecting dust

Kezza I have that one and we love them just make sure that get ventilation before you use it because smell strong like plastic or somenthing but don't worry the smell is going to be gone

Amazing what some of these babies can get up to when they are determined enough..

[southernchick]

I ordered the larger blue one about a month ago from petstreetmall.com & it was very handy to have recently when regan was spayed-when we weren't napping together she was comfy in her playpen. LOL! I do agree it seems as if one side doesn't want to un-lock right, my hubbie was taking it down for me yesterday & even he had trouble but you will love it!
