is the fold on this as bad as people say it is? has the folding over time messed up the tummy bar ?

I found the folding very easy. I Gould collapse it with one hand and stored it on it's locked wheels. It never had any effect on the tummy bar.

No it folds down flat, has no effect on front bar...If concerned you can completely remove tummy bar in 2 clicks prior to closing (takes seconds)

The folding up never bothered me. Didn't mess up the bar either. For the price it's a great value!

I personally don't think the folding and unfolding is a big deal...how else could it be done?! We don't use the tummy bar, but you could just remove it when you fold it.

It does fold very fast if you let it, but I do it slowly and keep it in a standing position and haven't had any trouble with it. I read the reviews before I bought it that said it would collapse really fast, so the first time I tried it, I let it collapse just to see what would happen. .. and they weren't kidding! But you can definitely avoid it happening if you go slow and keep all of the wheels on the ground while folding. Easy fix :)

I think it folds easily. I actually kept it stored folded in my van and never had a problem getting it in and out

It is rather strange the way it is, in my opinion. If you plan to just use it around home, you can care for it well enough that it won't get damaged. But if you plan to travel with it, be prepared for it to get scratched and cracked. The airline staff don't care and it will get thrown around. Also scratched it a few times ourselves when we were in a big hurry to get it folded up and on a bus.

I don't use the belly bar, so for me it hasn't ruined anything. Its easily removable, so I would just take it off before folding.

Yeah but I kind if regret it now because I can't fold it up and its just collecting dust.the side that connects to the the plastic rips kind of easy if you are not careful. If you can learn to fold it right it will be ok.

I have not had any issues with folding it. I don't use this stroller as much as I used to though. Sorry, if I am not much help.

It does not fold and honestly now that we've had it for several weeks we wish we spent a little bit more and got a nicer one. The wings look "cute" but are a nuisance and get in the way. The bar doesn't connect properly due to the giant wings flopping around. The best thing going for it is the vibration and music. I'd go for one that you can rock with your foot.

I've only had mine for about two months, but so far so good!!! I have cought mine on the Velcro of my little ones swaddler and it snagged a bit, but not bad. These are still my favorite burp clothes!

Julie mine does not collapse easy! Matter of fact I have mine at work in my office to hold my "snacks, lunch ,etc.". It sets up right and I never have a problem with it folding or anything. Love mine!

I have had both. The zipper was a pain. It had to be "started" each time and it can be tedious trying to get the zipper going. But it was really easy to fold. Just one button and done. This one that doesn't zip is nice because it is easier to quickly secure it but the folding situation is just ridiculous. The folding design seems like it was made for long-term storage or transporting once in a while But for any regular use the folding design is not well engineered at all.

I fold it back all the time and have had no problem. But, I've only had mine a short time.

Used 17 months now with no sagging. Only thing is, we used the infant side until 12 months, then I flipped it and the toddler side now seems firmer! That's because she broke in every square inch of the infant side. When we use it for a new baby, we'll just have to put it on the toddler side. They are both super similar anyway--I'm not worried a bit.

I didn't see an issue with how easily it folded, but did wonder if repeated folding would cause any damage to the electronics inside. Since I did not keep the item, and simply folded it to return it, I'm not sure how helpful this is to you

I've had mine maybe 5 months and so far it doesn't sag or heat up at night. I will say that it's not as firm as I thought it would be, you do sink into it a bit and I'm 150 lbs. Also it wasn't the miracle worker that I expected so don't have too high of expectations.

I have not try using it for tummy time, but I don't see why it would be a problem. My son has been using the lounger since he was born. Its perfect for both, to give you and idea, if you have seen the boppy pillows that are U shape, its almost the same except the lounger is at an angle, its not hollow and it is raised from the head/back area.

I am just a consumer, and have not tried this, but I would guess that it would fold ok (it's pretty soft); although, I don't know how keeping it stored that way for extended period of time would would impact the quality. I guess you could do a good shake-out when you pull it back out. good idea though!

Wow, good question. I have had mine for 1 year and I have no idea if I have a good or bad one. It seems very well made and has held up well. My one complaint is that the back of the chair is in a very upright position. When my little guy first started using it, he sat towards the front so his feet would stay on the ground. Now that he is bigger, he sits back but looks uncomfortable, like the back is too straight. So he basically turns it over and leans on it. I got him another chair, the rocker from walmart, much cheaper, and he seems to use that one more because it looks (and I guess) feels more comfortable. Wow, good question.

So far, it's been holding up beautifully! No signs of breakdown or flattening out. Hope this helps.

The mattress is not neatly as firm as my pack n' play. There is no fold in it and it does lay flat. I haven't used it yet though as my 2 month old exclusively sleeps in the incline sleeper attachment right now due to reflux. However her head always falls off the little pillow into the same position and she is developing mild torticollus and a flat spot even though she is only in it about 6 hours through the night. Now that I've noticed I removed the pillow and turn her head the opposite way constantly. I still love this bassinet and recommend it, just make sure your little one changes his position.

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.
