For young children aged 1 to 2 years old, a safety fence is an important addition to providing a safe environment for exploration at home. Here are several fencing options suitable for this age group:
Adjustable Fence: This type of fence can be adjusted as needed to fit a variety of room and space sizes. They usually consist of retractable doors or railings that can be flexibly set up at doorways or stairwells in your home.
Children's playpen: This type of playpen is usually an enclosed area that can be set up anywhere in the home. They provide enough space for children to move and play freely, while also preventing them from entering dangerous areas.
Wall-fixed fence: This type of fence is fixed to the wall and provides a safe enclosed space to prevent small children from entering dangerous areas. They are usually made of sturdy materials and can be used for a long time.
When choosing a fence, make sure the height of the fence is appropriate for the child's age and height, and that the fence is made of durable material that won't easily be pushed over or climbed over by a child. Additionally, the gate or leaf of the fence should be easy to open and close, but difficult for small children to operate, ensuring that they cannot leave the fence when needed.
The bottom line is that no matter what type of fence is used, it is always necessary to supervise the activities of small children and ensure that they are playing safely within the fence. Fences are only intended to provide additional security and should not replace the supervision and care of a parent or guardian.
When choosing a playpen for children ages 1 to 2, there are some other factors to consider:
Materials and Construction: Fences should be made of sturdy and durable materials, such as metal or sturdy plastic. Avoid using easily broken or fragile materials to prevent children from damaging or injuring the fence.
Gaps and Gap: Make sure the gaps and gaps in the fence are small enough to prevent a child’s fingers or other body parts from being pinched or caught. This is especially important for fixed fences, where wall-fixed fences may have gaps.
Safety lock: The gate or leaf of the fence should have a safety lock mechanism to prevent children from easily opening or unlocking it. Choose locks that are difficult for small children to operate, such as locks that require multiple steps to turn, press, or unlock.
Cleanability: Considering that children will often eat or play in the playpen, the playpen should be easy to clean. Choose materials that are easy to wipe or wash to maintain hygiene.
Mobility: If you wish to move your fence between different rooms in your home, you can opt for a removable fence. These fences often come with wheels, making it easier for you to move and reset them when needed.
