How does this affect te Stow-n-Go? e.g. Can you fold down row 2 without taking out the row 3 mats? How hard are they to reove and put back in?

If you have the second row mat it is impossible to put down stow and go without removing mats. If you only have 3rd row mats you can do stow and go no problem with mats in..they aren't that hard to put in and out

Removing and replacing 2nd and 3rd row matts is very easy.If you want to fold down 2nd row seats in stow and go area you will have to remove the 2nd row floor matts but not the 3rd.

The third row mat doesn't interfere with folding down the captain's chairs in the second row (though the second row mat does obviously need to be removed to utilize the stow-n-go)

I have 3rd row stow-n-go, not 2nd. And it works fine; mats have holes where needed

The legs fold over so no need to take them off.. You need to stand over ithe mat and fold it, not the easiest but better once you get the hang of it, you could hide it under a bed or in a walk in closet :)

It is quite hard to take apart you have to pull very hard at the connections to figure out which ones actually fold down. We have marked ours with green tape now so we know which ones come apart. I have no other suggestions for you sorry.

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

DO NOT FOLD IT! Doing so will damage the wires. As someone else mentioned, you can safely roll it or allow it to drape. I moved a large scat mat from the landing at the bottom of the stairs onto a chair that one of the cats suddenly decided to start sinking his claws into. I simply draped it over the arms and seat of the chair. (Because they already associate unpleasant stimuli with the mat, they now avoid the chair. I'm not sure they even tried to jump in it. The sight of the mat alone seems to deter them now.) If you want to store the mat, again, you must roll it, never fold it. It was very explicit about that in the instructions. DO NOT FOLD IT!

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

An excellent question, Rodney. For the winter, I folded it in thirds, the same way I recalled it being delivered last summer. I am afraid I don't have an answer, and my cat won't use it unless it's flat. Gettin' a lot hot where we are. Amazon users, help? Amazon, help?

Its tricky at first. Twist it and fold backward but don't force it cause it will go by itself. You will have three loops and may have to adjust the sizes. Takes practice but once you get it a couple of times you'll find it easy. Had to do it standing up at first half dozen times. Now can do it sitting in the car.

Hello Bonnie, the other people answered correctly. It rolls up like a rug and gets quite compact. The only problem I have is that it is a little stiff when rolled up, even more so than an excercise mat. So if you leave it rolled up too long it retains shape for a few days after unfolding.

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

i used it to space my rows apart so you just shuffle up and down the row on one side like an office chair, then spin to the other side at the end of the row to the other side and go back(like an office chair). Its not hard to make it turn, just easier to follow rows that are straight. Also, if its in uneven dirt then its a bit tough to scoot. not an issue to me though. its really a great product.

Nope, it doesn't. A rollaway would be much easier to fold and store. I have to release each set of legs individually (4 sets altogether for the full size) then fold up each side toward the center. At that point it slides fairly easily across my carpeted room, but it is quite bulky and heavy. I have kept the two frames together with bungee cords when I fold it up. The hard rubber clips that they give you come off quite easily after you've broken them in. It's not hard to store, in general, but I wouldn't recommend trying to do so on a daily basis or anything....like I am. It's worth it to me, but definitely not as easy as a rollaway if that's what you are looking for. Nope, it doesn't. A rollaway would be much easier to fold and store.

It just wraps around the seats. It works really really well. This is probably the best fit on the market. The only disadvantage is that you lose your Stow and go functionality in Row #2. In order to use the Stow and Go, you will need to remove the mat. The mats also protects really well the floor in front of row #3. I have 2 toddlers and thank god I bought this. It really protects perfectly your T&C.;

I think the mat is different in each version of the game. The original game has a cardboard mat that folds up. It is sturdy and nice to play on but, in my expaerience, folding boards fall apart with even moderate use. The board on the deluxe game is a little bit larger than the basic game board, made of vinyl and rolls up to fit back in the box. I believe that the jumbo board is also mafe of vinyl and is much larger. Other reviews that I read mentioned that it would not fit in the box and had to be stored seperately.This is a woderful game to play for as few as two people or in teams. Whenever we have a family gathering eeverbody wants to play. I think the mat is different in each version of the game. The original game has a cardboard mat that folds up.

I have games (essentially DVDs) on one of the rows and it seems like the middle is sagging downward, I would imagine with books you would get the same effect only worse. I'll have to see how they hold up.

To fold it you have to push in the buttons on the locks on the side. Make sure that you lift the latches completely up, and pull them out a bit, otherwise, it will get stuck and not fold. If everything is unlatched, you can just pull it up from the middle of the floor and it will fold up nicely.

You have to manually fold it, but it's easy to do...I could do it without breaking stride. It does automatically extend though when you need to use it
