Do people use playpens for children anymore?

Sure, a lot of people use them. They help create a safe environment for a baby. So, if you have to run into another room momentarily, you know the baby will be alright.

People do use a modern version of a playpen called a play yard. Some even come with changing tables and bassinetts and are used by some families in place of a crib. They are also popular for traveling or at grandparent's homes. Many daycares also use play yards to help the children settle in at nap time.
