Amazon Baby Playpen CPC Certification: ASTM F1004-19, ASTM F406-19 Testing

Children's playpens, also known as children's play enclosures, play yards, and safety fences, are primarily made of plastic or wooden structures. The main purpose of these playpens is to free up parents' hands by providing a safe and comfortable environment for babies aged 6 months to 3 years. Using a children's playpen helps foster a baby's sense of independence, thinking ability, and concentration, while also providing a good space for physical coordination development.
