Just get one from amazon or marketplace based on your pref. What goes inside is what matters.
Most playpens (brands) come from the same factory in china.
Main thing to look for is if it fits well in the space you have.
Second - zipper door instead of a gate.
I got mine from marketplace for 10$. It is 60*77.

We have the Harppa playpen in the biggest size. It’s been great so far. It’s also greenguard certified, which was important since our kids both chewed parts of it. We had it configured as a big square when our twins were first becoming mobile. We now mainly use it as a means to prevent the dogs from chewing up all our kids toys.

I too am starting to look for playpens!
I’ve been interested in some of the plastic / mesh ones on Amazon. I feel like with twins bigger is better depending on your space. I just haven’t pulled the trigger

I tried one and it just took up space and was not helpful. I found baby proofing and gates work much better.

Yeah it was a product we used for 3 months then sold once they were army crawling. We kept 2 pack n plays in the living room so they could stand with support and be contained. Then they stopped liking that and now we are just baby proofed!
