Is it pretty easy to set up and collapse? My son comes to work with me and has outgrown his playpen for nap time. Easy put-away is important :)

Yes very easy. My grand babies' bedroom turns into a play room in minutes after I collapse and put away three of them. You just have to pad it a little to make it comfortable.

I got it for my shuh tzu at nap time. Didn't work for them, too short for the 21 pounder and too tall for the 9 pounder. Nicely made and would give you this one if I could. Should work for your need.

Yes, extremely simple. Its just like folding out a camp chair. One motion, takes about 10 seconds! Still sturdy and small enough to store in an office.

Yes it's extremely easy to set up and collapse. It literally just opens in seconds and folds back closed. I love it for my 3 year old!

Very easy... it folds up just like one of the campfire chairs that stores in its own bag. This cot stores in a similar bag. The material (of the storage bag) isn't as thick as I'd like it to be and I anticipate it tearing after repeated use, but finding another bag to keep it in won't be a problem. This cot was worth every penny we paid for it. My 2.5 year old does great with it.

The way the napper is set up, you can only use it on the pack n play. There are two metal rods that support that are inserted around the napper. Other wise it just a piece of fabric and it will lie flat on another surface. On another note, follow the instruction very carefully. I was pregnant and didn't play close attention and ended up installing the pieces upside down. It just make it harder to remove once my baby grew out of it (the release button is so hard to press!). Also, the changing area is also really confusing to put together by looking at the instructions. Just don't give up! It's a great item. I love it so much because of the convenience.

Hi Katie,I had to buy extension panels so she (10 months daughter) could attempt to crawl. Otherwise she would not have anywhere to go. I actually combined to sets together to giver her an even larger play area. It was great for play dates too because at least 3 adults and 3 babies could comfortably fit in there at the same time.Our daughter is very close to waking now (14 months) and we were thinking of selling her play pin. It is in immaculate condition. Let me know if you are interested.Thanks,Karla

The canopy sides fold down pretty neatly, they might be an issue as the baby gets larger but generally they are not in the way. They sort of overlap into the sleeping area but I didn't find it very intrusive. You will definitely be able to get your baby in and out of it without a hassle.

No, because of space in our home my son has had to use a play yard as a crib. He's used this matress for nearly a year with no break down. Ours fits nicely in the play yard and there is no separation between the foam pieces once the sheet is on.

Actually, it does not collapse easily at all. Unfortunately, if your puppy is a jumper like ours then you won't want to get this play pen at all. At 12 wks old our German shephed puppy was able to jump over a 4 ft gate so it didn't surprise me that he tried to jump over this 40 inch playpen. In his attempt, he managed to get his foot stuck in between two of the panels and I found him hanging by his foot struggling and crying. His foot was so jammed between the two slots that it took quite a bit of force to get his foot out. By the time I managed to get his foot out it was swollen twice the size and his was unable to walk on it. This resulted in a first trip to the emergency room for my puppy.

We bought 2 beds for our boys and the set up was kind if like looking at Ikea directions. Did take some time to bulid. Both my boys are pretty rough on their beds and have not fallen apart on us.

It's is very easy to put up and take down. My 65 yr old mother in law set it up before we arrived and had no trouble. There are two latched per side on the top rail that have to be realsrsd by pushing a hidden button. As long has you have strong enough hands you should be good.

We loved ours for our twin girls when they were less than 7 months, however we stopped using them once they could roll over. Now at 13 months there is no way they would stay put in the nests long enough to go to sleep. I think I have seen something that combines the depth of a pack n play with the compact lightweightedness of the nests, but don't remember where.

It is super easy to set up and take down once you get use to it. Your biggest issue would be storage it's not a lightweight travel gate. We also tie dark sheets to a corner to crate shade when we use it outside.

I have a child who is one using it now. It is very safe as a crib but I would not use it as a playen as it would not hold up.

Very easy to collapse. You just fold in the sides after folding up the bottom. It comes with a carrier. Really good product. My little great-great niece use to crawl in it and play. I bought a soft bed to put inside it for more comfort

to collapse it for storage, you pretty much have to take it apart but it goes together and comes apart in just a few simple steps. I did it myself in a couple minutes.

It does collapse, fairly easy. I keep it together because I find it to be more trouble than it's worth to break it down. It is not like a stroller, where u push a button and it folds. It's a bit more detailed.

The floor piece of the playpen is padded, so it can be used as a bed without buying another piece. We have a crib for every night use, but use a playpen when we're on vacation, etc. Unless you're planning on using it as a primary, every night bed/crib, I wouldn't worry about spending the extra money on something that you aren't going to use as often and would be difficult to store. I would recommend the sheet, though, as the fabric/lining doesn't seem overly comfortable. Graco sells fitted sheets specifically for their playpens, but the sizing seems to be standard among brands of playpens and sheets.

Once you put it together correctly which is very easy by the way. It won't collapse. I have 3 of these that my dogs sleep in and they are large doggies who are rambunctious and not one of the beds has collapsed and one of them I've had for a few years.
