Elpida

We used something like this when we were on holiday and it worked well http://twinsuk.co.uk/products/101472/Disney-Travel-Cot-&-Twin-Playpen/

We did buy a play pen for home but didn't use it in the end - they just seemed to move so quickly from crawling around to walking and we never seemed to need it.

I had big wooden playpen which worked really well for my two from about 6-10/11 mths but after that they wanted out!
was similar to this:

sold it on ebay for more than I paid for it

We used the baby Dan blue hexagonal one but they were only happy in it for very short periods of time (dashing for a wee etc) and that was only for a few weeks before it was all too much hassle to get them in there and keep them content. We had very little space too but in the end we wedged the playpen opened out across the room and baby proofed the other end of the room. If I am honest I would expect you would need to bite the bullet and do this anyway by the time they can walk/stand as they won't be ok in the playpen then, so you might as well baby proof now. Or baby proofing has had many stages. At each age and stage different things are a risk.

Elpida, I bought two babydan white playpens and joined them together to make one big safe play area.  I was only able to use one playpen when they were very little as it wasn't really a big enough play space for two.  My twins played very happily in their double playpen and it gave me a bit of breathing space knowing that I could pop in and out the room and know they were playing safely.
Plus it kept the twins and their toys playing safely separate from the pets.
For me it was one of my best baby purchases.
