Can someone please tell me how to fold this play yard? I don't want to bend the wires and the instructions are useless!!!

Also the bottom liner stays outside while u fold them, at the end the liner should be the shape of a triangle then you just fold it in between the Z.

Hey Cali Girl, I feel your pain ;) I put that problem in my review. Maybe 3 out of 6 times I can get it to lay flat, but it never really is totally flat. You just have to work with it. Lay it on it's side and see which panel wants to fold. I keep the zippered top on, that might make it more difficult. Wish I had the answer.

Sorry I cannot fold mine either. I have it put away for the winter because I use it for my cat outside but I just stored it open.

I had the same problem but u have to go step by step with instructions paying extra attention where the bottom pocket is in Picts its a little confusing but they do work also watch that extra material is not sticking out top but folded in good luck hope this helped,

It had me "scratching my head". I fold it in half; it may take some trial an errors. Once it's folded in half then fan fold in thirds.

You folder it in half which turn into 3 panels, then you fold it like the letter Z, then use the elastic to hold the whole thing. I hope I explain it ok.

It can be folded flat, but if it isn't put in a tight space it will probably spring back into shape. The wire in the end pieces is very flexible.

Where the release button is...make sure you pull it up. It's kind of difficult and I actually had to look on youtube to watch a commercial of someone folding it back up. No there were no instructions like you said...very frustrating!

all comments are correct. It is a tough little thing. So folding isn't part of that. The big boom comes off. Do a search for WeeHoo roof rack. There is a guy that recorded a video on how he made a roof rack work. I might do the same. mostly we have just rode it around our house. So I haven't worked on that yet.

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?

You don't! If it folded, the kids would wreck it using it. We have enjoyed ours and it has been very durable. We use it for hockey in the winter and soccer when it's warm.

you can sort of see the fold lines when it is laying flat. You should leave the door open so extra air can escape and then make sure at the end you fold in the top piece and poles. I am not 100% certain, but I seem to recall you start off folding the tent in 1/2 and then 1/3rds....Good luck!!

I honestly haven't tried yet. I would imagine yes, but you may have to fold ends first. I'll try & let you know.

fold it in half from top to bottom, the sides will fold in at that point twist the bottom and it will fold. here is a link to youtube-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyjHBQ3mHzc

No. You can fold it up (but, of course, you can do that with any electrical cord). It comes with a reasonable twist tie ... perhaps if you keep that around (knowing how much cord you need in the "maximum extension" instance) things will appear neater.

Our shipment came with instructions. It involves folding it in a special way and then twisting two parts together. I do not have the instructions with me as I am travelling to Europe, but once you get the hang of it it works well. If you didn't find instructions, I would suggest you request them from the manufacturer. Otherwise, we have found this a great product. RAM

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.

This is not as easy to fold as other portable swings. Rather than folding what you actually do is take it apart. So you are having to assemble and disassemble which is not very easy. Other than that it is a great swing.

Unfolding it shouldn't be much of a problem, just pull the ends apart and stand back. Folding it back is the tricky part, but there are Youtube videos that help.

You have to flip down the folded up cardboard to go perpendicular to the flattened side pieces. So basically the pieces that fold up and down, go under the pieces the fold left to right. (Does that make any sense??) It's hard to explain without a photo to show the piece. I had to play with it quite a bit, and actually ripped the top part. But after I figured out these guys, Kristoff went up perfectly. :)

Folding it is my only complaint--I can't fold it like it came. The best I can do is a flat heap with the elastic band holding it together. I'll try to explain -with the 2 sides folded together, grab the top right side with one hand, and the bottom left side with the other. Bring your 2 hands together while twisting the shade toward your body. Now scrunch it flat and get the elastic band around it to hold it together. Like wrestling an alligator! I have to say that each time it gets a little easier. Good luck.

you will first fold it in half, it will not fold flat, and then you will be able to do it.. there is a video on dailymotion.com, and I followed the directions on how to fold a pop up tent. because once you get the tent flat, which you dont have to do, then it is the same procedure.. hope this helps you. I had to look it up also. Let me know
