How easy is it to fold it back (especially at a windy beach)? I an wondering if it really that easy to fold in 3 seconds product description suggests?

You need to learn the sequences thru a number of trials .i certainly would not start on a windy beach as my first attempt .THE GOOD. NEWS IS THAT once you get the knack it is relatively easy to put up & take down . Be easy on yourself and allow Yourself a minute. It is very sturdy & I think good value '

I am a full blown klutz and While I can read the directions, following them is a whole 'nother deal. lol. I love mine and use it a lot and I can fold it back up .

Yes, its actually very easy and folds up extremely quick. but you do have to watch the video and practice and you will be fine... I sometimes forget, and i just watch the video and then im fine.

It takes more like 30 seconds to 1 minute. You should practice folding it at home. I have no issue. Just watch the youtube video if you problems.

Not too bad actually, so long as you have a helper holding open the bag and practice folding it up in the back yard before going to the windy beach! Also, bring plastic bags to fill with sand and put into the pockets in the sides, helps in strong winds

I purchased the Genji Pop Up Tent, and since the day it was delivered, it has been sitting in a semi state of pop-up. I and numerous friends have tried to get it back down and into its holding container. I don't recommend buying this product!

Well it takes longer than 3 seconds. The biggest issue we had was dumping out the sand from the side pouches before folding. And the wind can definitely be difficult. It usually only took us a couple minutes though. It's not bad, wind and sand considered.

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

It's 10 seconds more realistically. If I have not folded it in a while you tend to forget the method so I always refer to YouTube. One look at the video and it's an easy fold after that.

Honestly (and I apologize, I know this isn't going to be much help...) it's usually an experiment to figure it out. We lay it on its side (one door and about four panels touching the ground) and collapse the sides until we find one that naturally collapses. From there, it's kind of like folding a map--we'll fold a side in, and if it doesn't feel like it's collapsing naturally, we'll unfold and try another side. I know this sounds tedious, and I think it took us about 5 - 10 minutes the first time, but after you get it once or twice it just gets easier to fold. We can usually get it into the bag in about a minute. Good Luck---Happy Holidays!

Hi Megan,I'm not sure how to fold it up. I'm scared to do it because I feel I may hurt myself. lol

It is relatively easy to fold up but it is not small - folds back up the same way it comes in box new - and frankly it is huge! Great for little kids to have a sleep over in and my pre-teen also wanted it for a "throw back" party and she and two friends sat in it like a club house!

Yes, it is very easy to fold. There is a strap in the bottom of the wagon you pull and it folds right up (easier then the stroller we were using). It's very easy to move when folded. It would be great for a plane trip, you would probably have to check it at the gate like a stroller.

It's very easy to fold. The only issue that I don't like is that the attachment to keep it closed doesn't always stay on. So what I've done is to use a bungee cord to keep it closed. Simple fix. Oh and I just love the stroller. My fur baby likes it too.

very easy to fold just push it together. I use both hands, but could probably be folded with one. I am 80 yrs old and not much strength left in my arms/hands

I haven't weighed it but it is very light. Since they say 3.4 lbs is its shipping weight, it can actually be even lighter. As for the previous answer about how hard it is to fold it, you need to practice 1-2 times before taking it out. I hadn't, so first time on the beach I had to look up a video on youtube to fold it. :-) But it was just fine afterwards. And after a couple months of using it 1-2-3 times a week it's still as strong as new.

It's not hard to fold. It takes strength or two people to lock. Easy to storeand move around. Rolls easy. Mostly it is super comfortable and my daughter is now going to buy one.

Honestly it's a pain to set up but not any more of a pain then setting up a typical tent. You need to feed the rods through the shelter in an X fashion hoping there wont be a gust of wind while you do it. Easiest with two people. No reason to take on a cruise. Like the other person said, not on beach long enough unless you are on a cruise that stays at a port for more than one day.

It is very easy to fold up. It takes a little bit to figure it out but doesn't take longer then a minute tops

I usually need to push the sides in slightly for it to fold... So not really... But the fold IS very smooth and easy :)

It is extremely easy to fold. The brackets on the side line up straight to lock it when in use. I just use my toes to put some bend back in and walk the handle forward to fold. It is sturdy and portable. It was a great purchase.

I only used it once this past summer but we loved it! Material is very similar to a tent. It's just not good one a windy beach day.

Easy for 2 or more people cause it is pretty big. It does NOT do well in wind, since it is a fan/blower system, it is pretty low pressure and will flex pretty badly, but on a still night or with a light breeze, it's great!!

I have not tried to do that, although the instructions said it should be fairly "easy" to fold it up. Not convinced it's all that easy. Sorry I can't be of more help. Don't the instructions give any info?
