how long does this expand to from end to end in inches? could this be used across a whole room? and is it sturdy enough for a toddler to pull on?

It's 12 feet. Depending on your room you may need extra panels. A toddler may try to pull themselves up on it so you would need to secure it to the walls. It's a very nice looking system.

Does the bottom joint of the sections lock as well as the top? I've seen other brands where only the top locks and the bottom moves freely which isn't secure/safe!

We have a VERY active 15 m/o son. To keep him from the fireplace and all of our electronic equipment ( all located on the same wall) we use this gate. I'd say the wall is pretty skinny, maybe 12 ft, but we put the pieces at a slight zigzag across the room and fold 1 of the end pieces along the wall on either side. We did not "secure" it to the wall because we don't want a bunch of holes in our walls. He's been crawling since 8 months, assisted walking since 9 most and fully walking at 1 yr. Even assisted walking along the gate he never came close to pulling it over. Again the zigzag helps big time for stabilization. Now he will grab and shake if he drops a toy over, 26 lb 33 in and barely moves it!

Each section is 2 feet long. Depends on the size of your room. You can buy additional units-they come in two 2 foot sections, I think. It you anchored the ends and locked the joints, I believe a toddler might be able to pull on the bars-they are sturdy, but I would not like to say the unit couldn't be pulled over or moved , especially if it is very long. I would not leave a child (or dog) unsupervised in this enclosure.

It's a little difficult to pull back initially, but does loosen up after awhile. I think it would be all right for your grandson, at least he would be able to work with it for a few years to see if he likes it.

I qould suggest for any wakling toddler, it also has the harness to keep them seating down so you might want to use it as a high chair. I wouls say it can hold bigger kids up to 4/5 years. My opinion.

No it is not suitable for a toddler to push. It's just too small and short for that purpose.

This is toddler size, yes. It will probably hold up to 50 lbs easily even though your toddler will probably outgrow it by 35 lbs. It's a very sturdy seat with strong rope if you attach it correctly.

Very sturdy. Your child can roll around in it, crawl through the windows, and knock it around. It won't collapse, and the material is strong. You can pick up the assembled tent and move it like a box - it holds the shape.

My grandson is a year old and he has yet to pull it over when pulling up. However, once he is standing he has pushed it across the floor until he tips it over. Usually because something stops it and not him. Hope this helps.

It would be fine for an adult who is willing to use some care opening and closing it. I'm not sure how it would hold up with a child, it is not a real heavy material and it does of course have a zipper, neither of which I have had a problem with. I have been using it for about 3 months as my primary closet and have had zero problems with it. I even have a few items stacked on top of it. I have been very happy with it. Hope I have answered your question

It is pretty sturdy, but depends on the weight of the kid I guess. Manufacturer should be able to help you with this. I bought one that is 48 inches wide, about 18 inches deep, and it is sturdy if the top is locked into the bottom unit. If you are just using this cover on top of your window well at ground level, why don't you put rocks in the window well first?

No, it's sturdy and tall enough. I originally bought this for my 2 yr old daughter. It is her favorite thing, even a year later. My 5 yr old even enjoys rocking on it from time to time. I've never worried about her breaking it due to her weight (40 lbs). The 5 yr old does tend to loosen the handles sometimes, but the are extremely easy to twist screw back in. I highly recommend this product.

It gets more sturdy once the sheets are attached. It will stay up to certain standards with the toddler. The little ones will need help to assemble. We set size limits to cut down on mess. If they don't listen it goes back into the Rubbermaid. You can build just about anything you can imagine it does come with an idea book also.

My guess is that you'd have to be about 35-45 lbs to pull this thing over trying to get up. The base is extremely wide so I don't see your child overcoming that. Also, it doesn't really have anything to pull on outside of the slides which are towards the center which is where it is most sturdy.

Yes baby can pull himself up also it is very sturdy I run a daycare saftey and age appropriate toys are very important to us. I'm happy I purchased this.

I don't think a toddler could push it around, it is pretty heavy, but it is unfinished on the backside so it really needs to be against a wall (like a dresser). Hope this helps!

The play pin is huge! It is adjustable to go smaller if needed. Also enough pieces to separate the 2 if needed. And if is tall enough. My daughter is a very tall 1 year old and she is no where near able to climb out. I love it!

Not sure how much in measurement it expands but it's like an accordion that opens and sits flat on the bottom. Doesn't fall over!!

I'm still using it with my 2 year old who is 30 lb and 36 inches and we still have room left to grow in it. One note though is that my husband is very tall (6'5") and wide so with the fabric stretching to fit on him and the the toddler in it there isn't any extra room when he wears her. But for me at 5'4" we've got plenty of room.
