I put the older kids toys with little parts, legos, etc into the playpen and then let the older one go in to play with his 'big kid' toys. He got some space from his pesky 'knocks everything down' brother and the baby couldn't get the tiny bits in his mouth. Also a plus, the older kid was old enough to see the benefits of playing in the playpen and didn't try and fuss to get out like the baby did when I tried it the other way around!
