Alright mommas. I am heading to buy buy baby this weekend. What are your favorite play areas to give your kid room to crawl and explore, yet keep them contained. We are buying a house next spring but want something to corral her in the meantime. She is 8.5 months old and into EVERYTHING! Our hallway and kitchen openings are way too large to put a gate up to keep her enclosed in our living room. Please hit me with the pros and cons to your containment area!!! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
