Attach a string to the inside tab and use it to pull it closed part way then finish the rest when in hand.

What I do is sit in the center of the hammock as if in a chair. Then, I slide the zipper from left and from right toward me in the center. I lay down and pull my legs and feet into the hammock.There have been times where I forgot to zip prior to pulling my legs and feet in. I then simply sit up in the hammock and reach for the zipper which is usually by my feet.Julian Adkins

What I do is stick a pin in the top( it comes with one) place it up in airtight place until next time. My wife says she covers it with cellophane wrap, or use a zip lock bag. This should work well

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

well, I didn't open it up -- not sure you could do that without breaking the plastic housing, which is sealed. good question, tho: anyone else tried it?

There is a zip strip at the top on the front side of the bag. To be honest I cut mine open too and then found the opening.

I believe Dawn has the right answer, but if you cannot open the top to remove the inner protective seal, flip the unit upside down and drill a series of small holes. Cover the holes you created with duct tape or place the container in a large zip lock bag when not in use. You should be able to find the instructions and precautions on the Internet.

Zipped up it should keep most bugs out. However, my kids (and I image all other kids) tend to run in and out constantly. And, if you are using it when it is hot out (and why wouldn't you) you probably won't want it zipped anyway.

This is definitely a problem for ours. On one side, the front zipper catches the internal flap. We just stopped using that zipper and zip from the other side. It was too frustrating to keep fixing.

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

Not all the windows zip close. Some just have an elastic strap that goes over a clip. Frankly, I prefer that than a zipper. Less noise when opening up.

Thanks so much for your advice, Susan!!! I had a little bit of time while my kids weren't here today to assemble Butterscotch & then she started clicking in a big way. I got online to see what I could find & read your post. Of course, then I couldn't get the neck zipper open again...it was a real comedy of errors. Finally I got the button to push down, using brute force. Then I could unzip & get to work. It's so much better now...no clicking at all. Bless You...you have saved Christmas!!Happy Holidays,Emkay

Hi David! The easiest way that I do it is to pull the release clip to the front of me. I can get it open easier that way. Hope this helps!

Though it does not zip, I have not had an issue with it falling out. I also carry it in my tote and it's always intact when I take it out. Hope this helps.

I had a problem with it too. The zipper should have a spot inside the locking mechanism so that it wont open very easily. Mine unfortunately broke but that's because I probably had too much medicine in it.

Zippers are accessible from inside too. While inside, you can reach up high, towards the back to unzip and fold down the top of the door for ventilation. Use the zipper at the bottom of the door to unzip the entire flap for entry/exit.

Well, you can unzip the top all the way to the back, you would just have to tuck the flap down once you unzip it, and then the top would be open.

I had the same question. I did not want to try to pull it out and it did not seem easy to do so, so I left it in. No problems.
