Considering this for a beach trip to be used at the back of the beach away from the water for 2-5 yr olds, big hassle?

In my experience, the top "shade" constantly leaned to the side and fell off. It would probably fit two toddlers comfortably, no more. I don't think it was worth the money.

Once you learn how to fold it back by following directions or watching video, it is easy. Maybe a bit longer than 3sec. More like 10-15sec but still easy. At a windy beach you may need an extra set of hands

I think it is too difficult for 5 year old to use it. It should be supervised.

Hi Jeff. My little twins 4 years old use it outdoor, I think would be good 1,90 meters would good but if your kids are older like 6-8 years old is better to have a little more space like 2,20-2,30 cms. I hope myninformation can help you.

Maintenance wasn't my issue, setting it up was. The site has to be perfectly level and mine wasn't. But my kids (11 & 12) broke the whole thing by pushing down on the sides and warping it. I'm just going to take them to a nearby water park this summer.

(Addendum) But while my two kids have fun paddling around the dock, agree with reviewer below who says this probably wouldn't work for a trip of any length.

There is a lot of room in this wagon for a child, but as stated before by me, it is not a good wagon for the beach sand as it is hard to pull with any heavy load over 30 pounds. I wish I could sell it.

Yes, I think your 2.5 year could pick up the movement of it quite easily. It may take a few times of being on it, but they will get it. It also can be moved with their feet. I think having 2 cars would be better as all kids are interested in riding it (even teens!).

Tiffany is right, my almost 5 year olds fits in here with his 2 year old sister and still loves sand. Especially if you bury something fun in there like plastic dinosaur fossils for him to dig up!

No, it's not , I would say its perfect 9 months - 18 months, and for 2 year old and up it is kind of small . It works for the beach well, if you don't mind taking it to the beach. But my my 2.5 year old is really tall for his age, so maybe I just judge based on that. Again that is my personal opinion ,based on my experience with it.

I would say yes. Unless your children are close in age and your older one is still fairly small, there will not be enough room for them on the bench without leaning forward a little bit because of the recline from the front seat. It didn't bother my 2-year-old at all though. As mentioned by someone else, the bench slides back and forth so you can slide it as far away as possible from the front seat.

I would have to say no. Even with the straps sinched all the way tight it doesn't hold the back up like a chair. It's when you put it in the water and the seat slings that it is kind of forced together into a chair. I had to return mine anyway because the arm was leaking after only one use. You'd be better off getting one of those low beach chairs if you're looking to sit on the beach.

Don't think you'd want to leave it outside since it's not meant for that. As far as safe landings, I think it would be soft enough, however remember it's only 5ft x 5ft so would need to be placed right underneath your rings and kids could easily roll off of it. It's a vinyl bag filled with cubes of foam.

I think you can get away for a 5 yr old. I bought it for a 1 yr old but the "older" kids ages 6 and some of the adults were playing with it. Kids like musical stuff.... :)

The lake or pool yes, the ocean might be too rough. We used ours at a lake. The smaller kids liked to flip in it (7 years and younger - but it has more to do with size than age).

I ordered this and returned it. It was massive and doesn't have any straps to secure a kid in it. You might check out the fisher price rock and play.

We have had a few 2 and 3 year olds on it no problems. I would imagine it would be ok for a couple more years
