The babydan playden, a product close to my own heart and which I adore, so I was glad to see others loving it too ... we think this is one of those products that you fall in love with when you see it, but online sales are good too ... I can't rate this playpen enough, it's roomy and comfortable, stylish and safe ... and it also converts to a stairgate, fireguard or room divider ... what more could you want?

Today it is with a heavy heart that we finally acknowledge that our daughter is beginning to grow out of her playpen and that maybe soon we will have to consider moving it out of our lounge and into the garage for storage or to another area of the house.

Ok, so you might find it strange that we are so attached to what is essentially a playpen ... but this is not just any playpen!! Aside from the fact that this playpen also doubles up as stair gate, room divider and fire guard, it was for me the inspiration for our business http://www.indybel.com/ and therefore has a special place in our company history.

The playpen is known by many names on the market, the BabyDan Playden, the BabyDan den, The Baby Dan Playpen or Playden, the Baby Dan and so on ... whatever you want to call it, it's still a great invention.

When just over a year ago we decided to purchase a playpen for our little girl, we never realised it would be so difficult to find a playpen here in Spain. Playpen's do of course exist in Spain but these days they tend to be of the travel cot kind and we really wanted a playpen with bars ... could we find one in Spain? No we couldn't. Firstly we tried the local Spanish baby shops ... yes they had the travel cot style playpens but quite frankly we didn't want one of those stuck in the middle of the lounge and it's also more difficult for baby to see out. We tried Spanish internet shops with no luck and the big chains ... but nothing. So we turned our attention to the UK and sure enough there was the lovely BabyDan playpen in catalogues, on the net, everywhere ... but could anyone deliver to Spain ... not that I found unfortunatly.

So in the end my parent's purchased it in the UK and bought it over on the aeroplane. And it's sat pride of place in our living room ever since. It's stylish and sleek and looks great. It's a handy area for keeping all the toys and most of all our daughter loves it .... she's more than happy to spend a good half hour in there in the morning with her toys, milk and the TV and dog for company in the background, while I am able to pop upstairs to dress, make the bed and do my hair. Bliss!!!!

So what has this to do with our buisness? Well back then it was just one more item that you couldn't find here in Spain and I also knew many other mums in Spain were looking for BabyDan style play pen's ... so we sourced the distributor and the BabyDan playpen became one of Indybel's very first products ... and we are delighted to be selling the BabyDan playpen or playden if you like, here in Spain.

To see it for yourself check it out at http://www.indybel.com/product.php?productid=25&cat=0&page=1&featured We sell two types of pen, both fab and both come in a range of colours.

Sadly our little girl doesn't really need containing for her own safety anymore so it's probably time to get our old armchair back, but I'm so reluctant to let our lovely playpen go that I'm sure we can get some use out of it as an extra stair gate or room divider for a while .... will keep you posted!
