Well, you know... they DO make baby crates. It's not as if there's not a solution for bringing babies over to homes that aren't childproofed or have pets. It's just that she's either too stupid or lacks the foresight to plan ahead. Or she feels like her child deserves to roam free in its natural habit, feasting on a diet of bottlecaps and loose change from under the sofa. One of those.
They make em! https://www.amazon.com/Protection-Months-Reduction-Hearing-Toddlers/dp/B07XBHSBF4/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=baby+size+ear+protection&qid=1572379539&sr=8-8
Our twins are 7 weeks old and we use this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZFK54W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_c1bLAbXFY4JSS
It’s a bit pricey, but we got it as a gift from my parents for our baby shower. I like the portability of the bassinets, we have the pack and play in our bedroom but one of us will often take the bassinets to the living room until the twins are asleep to avoid waking up the other parent. Our babies sleep in them every night! However, we might only have one more month of use out of the bassinets before they are too small.
The changing pad attachment is so inconvenient that it’s basically useless, and one of the vibrating blocks doesn’t work very well on ours, but these are minor issues for us and I would still recommend it.
I'm also a FTM, so can't talk about my experience. But I did get paranoid about this and do a bunch of research and ask moms I trust. For me, I also wouldn't be comfortable with baby in the bed. I have decided on the Pack 'n Play Day2Night so we can use the bassinet portion beside our bed for the first few months, plus we'll have the changing table part. When he outgrows that, he can sleep in the actual play yard or a crib. We plan to get a crib that converts to a toddler bed and full-size so it will last a long time, but we know we will have at least a few months before we need to buy it.
I'm in favor of this.
Reports about the Valve VR demo rooms indicate that standing VR is pretty darn cool.
We've heard that the Valve VR demo setup was a "money is no object" endeavor and that to experience all of their demos take roughly a half an hour and yet in their environment there isn't a single demo where they make you sit or use an omni directional treadmill.
PrioVR, Zombies on the Holodeck, and Sh0v's latest project show that standing VR can be very cool. For those people who don't have the money to build or repurpose a room of their home for VR (e.g. likely most people)...
So, that said, what I'd like to see is the...
The Adult Sized Playpen for Standing VR.
Pick a reasonable size that will fit in most people's homes, say 2mx2m (give or take). Actual size might be restricted by length of Rift wires/cords (unless extensions are viable).
Make the sides of the playpen be high enough that most people could bump into it and not easily fall over it (about 1.25m?).
Make it mount to the wall so if you bump into one of the sides of the pen the whole thing doesn't slide across the floor or fall over.
To keep it light and hopefully lower costs make the sides be mostly empty space. Perhaps use a rail fence design using plastic (thick enough to allow an average person to back into it while attempting to repel the zombie horde). Or something like this scaled up and made more sturdy for adult usage.
One corner could have a gate-like latch to allow people in and out of the pen.
Make it collapsable to save space and for easier storage.
Make a less expensive version that utilize a wall or two of your home as the third/fourth walls?

Concerns:
I recommend a good pack and play. A good one can be a crib for newborns & toddler, has a changing table, can be a toddler crib/playpen. Plus they fold up and travel very well.
Other than that, something that can soothe the baby is needed for your sanity. A swing or chair that vibrates should do the trick.
I was thinking about this one. Yard for downstairs, bassinet for in our bedroom.
In Germany, I got them from Amazon. They were not called X-Pens, but it's the same.

I don't know any spanish, so I can't search there. =)
We have a plastic one from Friendly Toys... more expensive than what you listed but they're durable. We used it inside for awhile, and then "unfolded" it, put it against the railing and wall of our back porch and used it as a baby gate to block the stairs off. I did end up changing the layout of the sections, but here is a pic of what it looked like when we first set it up.

They also sell an expansion kit for it: http://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Toys-Little-Playzone-Extension/dp/B005LGYBSU/

Speaking of childproofing, this gate right here is awesome:

We got the Ingenuity washable playard. It's been a workhorse for us- we used the changer for ages when she was a newborn, and even though she never took to the bassinet attachment (but she didn't sleep anywhere, so I wouldn't take that as a bad review), I'm looking forward to busting it out for #2 in a few months.
We even used it as a temporary crib for a few months while we were in the process of moving, and it held up well.
I like the fact that you can unzip the fabric and throw it in the washer!
