Re: What is the difference

do they even make the old fashioned playpens anymore?

Pack and Plays are easier to fold up and travel with...if its the old fashioned type of playpen, they are not as easy to carry around...I might be wrong...

size... thats about it. Pack n plays are smaller than playpens but they both serve the same purpose.

OK, that's what I thought. I was disputing it with my mom. I remember her leaving my brothers in their playpen to play while she did housework. SHe says that's not what a pack and play is for - it's more for traveling...I disagreed and said you can use it for both.

Thanks

Everyone I know has a playpen. Except My cousin got an old fasion play pen and a pack and play for her shower. The Play pen stays at her parents but she uses her playpen at home. It serves the same purpose and it takes up A LOT LESS ROOM!
