A playpen for babies is an indispensable tool for many parents, offering their child a safe place to retreat. But up to what age is a baby playpen useful, and when does it become redundant? In this article, you will learn how long a playpen is useful for babies and why the tenty mobile playpen is a particularly clever solution for modern families.
Why a playpen is useful for babies
A playpen offers your child a protected area in which they can play, sleep or simply explore their surroundings. Especially in the first months of life, when babies begin to roll over, crawl and eventually walk, a mobile baby playpen provides a safe environment.
A classic baby playpen is often bulky and difficult to move. A better alternative is a mobile playpen that is light, flexible and quick to set up – like the tenty playpen.
How long should you use a playpen?
The length of time a playpen is used depends largely on the child's development. Here are some general guidelines:
- 0 to 6 months: A playpen is particularly useful during this time as a safe place for your baby to sleep and rest when you want them to be with you during the day.
- 6 to 12 months: From the crawling stage onwards, the playpen becomes a protected play area for babies, where they can move around independently.
- 12 to 18 months: Many toddlers start taking their first steps at this age. A mobile playpen can help create a safe space while parents attend to other tasks for a short time.
- 18 months to 2 years: Some children enjoy continuing to play in the playpen, for example with a mattress while others feel confined.
- From 2 years of age: By the time they reach the age of two, at the latest, a classic playpen often becomes redundant. This is where the tenty playpen comes into play – it can continue to be used as a play tent or as a protected area for indoor and outdoor use.

Conclusion: Until when is a playpen useful?
