We are not allowed playpens in our registered day home's here. They say it's a danger and baby could slip in between the bottom mat and wall and then die. It's very annoying, they want us to get Cribs. I refuse.
Have there been cases of this happening to make them ban it? I find it highly unlikely for this to happen, playpens are made of thing breathable material. Most playpens have the straps to secure the bottom down.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
