Insert isn't foldable
December 19, 2019
This is essentially a tiny little pack n play. I was looking for something I could fit fully set up inside the back of my mini van with one back seat rolled down for my 6 month old to play in while I do homework with my older girls for an hour waiting for my son to get out of school. This is PERFECT. It fits very easily in the space with a safety buffer around it in case he tumbles into the netting, and it's very sturdy, unlike a toddler tent which seemed to be my only other option for the space. The only down side is that the insert that allows you to boost an infant up high for easy access and then an older baby at mid level is a separate rigid piece that doesn't fold and store easily with the rest of the unit. So if you use this as a travel crib, as is it's marketed intention, it's really not as simple as pop up, pop down. You'll need to fully assemble and then disassemble the insert and carry it as a separate piece. For short travel uses, this is a lot less convenient than marketing makes it seem like it will be. If you're going on a short trip I would suggest you just leave that piece at home. Otherwise, the pack n play piece is everything I hoped it would be. I can see this getting a ton of use for homework time, sports events for my older kids, naps at the lake or park, camping, hotel stays..... Very happy with my purchase.
