Are playyards worth it ?

Debating about getting a play yard to take with us to my moms and to us at our house. Reason I am considering is baby girl is on the move and wants to touch everything she shouldnt. We are in the process of baby proofing but it seems as though you can’t proof everything, so when I use the restroom or have to take care of something I was considering using this as a little secure play area to ensure she is safe for that moment I have to step alway. Another push is when we visit my mom which is frequent or she comes to visit us she has two dogs plus our dogs so now shes on the move when the dogs get hyper and she wants to play I thought it would be a good secure area so they can play and so can she. And finally for outdoor use when I am working in the yard or outside at moms she lives in the mountains so a lot of splinter possibilities so I wouldn’t want her just crawling on the deck or outside. But is it really worth it? If so drop some links or picture of your favorite ones.
