Playpens are often used in conjunction with crawling mats, and it is also worth paying attention to choosing a high-quality crawling mat that is the right size for the fence. There are not many brands that produce both fences and crawling mats, and Kangle from South Korea is one of them, which started by making crawling mats and launched a castle play fence to match them.

The mainstream plastic fences on the market are mainly made of HDPE material, and generally large brands will use virgin plastic to make them, and this kind of material rarely has safety problems. However, as a large plastic product, the game fence will inevitably have burrs, Japanese and Korean brands have stricter control over the details of the fence, and the processing of the raised part is more detailed, and the fence is polished and smooth throughout, which is also the reason for its higher price, the price of 240cm*150cm size is about 2000 yuan, and the price of the extended model is higher.
Compared with brands such as iFam and Yaya, Kangle's products are relatively monotonous, with only one castle fence, available in rainbow, caramel and pink and white. If you want to use it with a crawling mat, there are only two specifications to choose from, namely the standard version of 2.4m*1.5m and the extended version of 2.4m*2.94m. However, its standard model is already a large size compared to similar brands, which is enough for babies from 6 months to about 3 years old.
The difference is that in order to stabilize the fence, Kangle adopts the form of non-slip suction cups and fixed frames, and the non-slip suction cups must be attached to the flat ground to work, so it is not recommended to use the fence on the crawling mat. Generally, the thickness of the fence is about 30 mm, and the fence of Kangle is the thickest among many brands, with a full 45 mm, reducing the risk of children pushing over.
The height of Kangle's fence is the highest among other brands, with the highest point of about 79 cm and the lowest point of more than 60 cm. If there is a second child of a similar age in the family, this height is enough to prevent the baby from turning out together, and it can also effectively isolate the child from pets such as large dogs. However, compared with the fence-type fence, the recreational fence has a more obvious stepping point, which requires parents to maintain a certain amount of attention and guidance for the baby.
The recreation fence is also set up with a game wall, like Japanese parenting, with telephones, turntables, plastic gears and other small toys to exercise the baby's finger grip, and the recreation fence has flagship stores on Tmall and Jingdong, which is relatively convenient to buy.
