Our Story

Hiaksedt opened in 2013 as a small R&D shop for maternal and infant safety gear — three engineers, two pediatric nurses, and a single 50-inch playpen prototype that wouldn't tip when a toddler leaned full weight against the side. The original prototype shipped to twelve households for a six-month field test. Two of the prototypes failed at the corner connectors. Six months of redesign produced the foam-covered top connector and the four-cup floor anchor that ship on every model today.

Twelve years later, the brand ships nine playpen sizes from 50×50 inches up to 79×79 inches, a Pack N Play blackout cover ranked #7 in Baby Bedding Accessories, and a soft-sided dog crate that overflowing pet families use beside the same playpen. Across all nine baby sizes and the two adjacent products, buyers logged 6,253 verified reviews — averaging 4.0 to 4.8 stars depending on the model.

The fabric is the same family every time. 320D non-toxic Oxford cloth on the entry-level full-size pens. 420D on the hexagonal floor for extra abrasion resistance. 620D on the dog crate where chewing matters. Every batch passes the US CPSIA toy-safety test before it leaves the warehouse. The frame is alloy steel — strong enough to lean against, light enough for one parent to lift into the trunk.

The wall height stays the same across every product: calibrated against six-month-old reach, eighteen-month-old climb attempts, and four-year-old leans. Whatever floor footprint matches your living room, the wall is the same. That consistency is the whole point — one safety threshold the parent can trust regardless of which size ends up in the cart.

Our Mission & Values

Safety-First Engineering

Every batch passes the US CPSIA toy-safety test before it ships. The fabric is BPA-free and non-toxic across every model.

Long Childhood Compatibility

Six months through six years on a single wall height. Crawler today, fort-builder in three years — same frame.

Single-Parent Assembly

Every model installs in 10–15 minutes solo, no tools. Snap the steel pipes, pull the fabric taut, press the cups.
