how do you get in? is there a door or do I have to pick the child up over the top

You have to pick the child up. Be aware there is a large blower and it is noisy. This is extremely large and should be used outdoors. You have to keep the blower going all the time to keep it inflated. I bought it as a gift and my daughter can't use it as an indoor playpen.

There is a flap door that is not shown in this picture. It's easy to get in and out.

There is a Velcro flap door in one of the shorter ends so the child can climb in. It also works well just to have the child walk in before you inflate it.

The ball pit was designed for 3~4 small toddlers. When fully inflated, an average adult will be able to "press" the side wall down to let the kids get in. It is that simple. 1000 pcs of the larger 3" crush-proof balls will be ideal for the ball pit. Please check Amazon listing: 1000 pcs Crush-Proof Phthalate Free non-PVC Plastic Ball Pit Balls in 5 Colors - 3.1" Air-Filled - Guaranteed Crush-Proof or Your Money Back (for Home Use Only) . However, if you are buying the smaller 2.5" balls, you would need about 2000 pcs instead and would cost you much more money. The ball pit was designed for 3~4 small toddlers.

There is an opening (with velcro closure) to get in & out. This product has been great for us so far, our kids are 2,4 & 6 and there's room enough for all of them plus a friend or two. Takes a lot of balls though, we have about 2500 in there and it's only 1/2 full.

My 3 year old can open it. It allows the older kids to pass through, but not the baby. An 18 month old wouldn't be able to get it, and IF he did it would probably take a while and be a bit noisy- I'm guessing you'd know something was going on before anything could happen. The downside is that it may take more work for the 4 year old to close than open it. I had a tough time getting mine to shut it after going through, or she would miss attaching both top and bottom, leaving a small gap for baby to possibly go through. DEFINITELY not for top of the stairs!

It is not that difficult. YouTube videos are helpful. Getting the door open is only difficult thing. It was a little tricky

There is a thin plastic sheet you can attach at the corners, they attach with clips, to create two rooms, it is very thin so we ended up not using it between us and the kids. Also, the door is accessible from either side of the "sheet".

Two doors--one on the side that can be rolled up to stay up and a huge top "door" that zips all the way around in a circle and allows over the top access in case you have tiny kittens . You can just reach in over them !

I don't think they will be able to easily open it. It needs to be lifted up in order to open and it is pretty heavy for a child. I have a 3 year old and there's no way she can open it.

yes a small latch from the inside. If they really want to get in or out I'm not sure how much it would help. t

On the top step is the push in lever. I know it seems like you should lift it but no, you pucj it in and it will open.

No, there isn't a door panel. I haven't found it to be annoying personally. I like the fact that although my 15 mo. old is starting to climb, he can't get up and over the rails of this... so it makes it a safe place for him to be if I need him to stay in one spot for a little bit. I really love that it doesn't have "baby" colors, because when he's older, he could crawl over the rails and make a fort or something. Only downside we think is that it doesn't travel... we got a separate one for that.

No, there is no opening at the top of the unit to allow access. The only openings are air vents on sides, zip front doorway and bottom floor.

There is a slide on the top. Just catch it with your nail and pull and it will open just enough to shake some out.

There is a button on the bottom of the back. Just press it in with fingernail and it pops open.

You have to push in on the two sides and it opens. Pretty easy for an adult, I don't know about a child.

No is not made to go over the door. We were disappointed with product. Very difficult to get the child into seat.
