Fold up/down safety? I have a two-year old... if I have the treadmill folded up, is it easy enough for a child to pull down on top of them? Does it go down easily or drop heavily?

There is a handle that must be pressed in to lift the deck up. Once the deck is pushed all the way up, it can be locked in the upright position. Once locked, you have to press the handle in to release the deck back down again. Once the deck is locked in the upright position, the handle is approximately 62 inches (5'2") off the ground. Therefore, I guess the safety depends upon how easily you feel a particular child could reach the handle to release the deck down.Also, in my opinion the deck drops in a very gradual manner. There is some resistance there, so that it doesn't come down too hard. There is a handle that must be pressed in to lift the deck up.

The lift/lower mechanism has a shock-absorber type of mechanism, that slows the rate at which it drops. Never checked how heavy the dropping part is, but it is definitely the lightest part of the whole thing, and might not harm your child even if it did come down -- check it out and decide for yourself.

I've been using it since my grandson was 2 months old. I still use it, but may have to give it up when his feet start dragging the ground. It is awesome!

Very easy to fold up....a child can do it. Smooth rolling and everything works as smooth as butter. Well made.

you have to pull down really hard ... a child should not have to be so rough on it but if not forceful it seems stuck .. you have to hear a click to make it stay up and then use force every time to change .. bad product..

my little kids can climb on the side to get up, (ages 2-9)& usually jump off. My other children (ages 10-16) just swing a leg up at lay or sit. Or they turn their back to the bed. place their hands on the bed & give a small jump. The get down the same way. We enjoy turning into a couch also, so we don't have to sit on the floor. They do NOT sink low. I have sleep on the bed. I find them comfortable & NOT hard to get out of. The pockets on the side are great for water bottles, retaier cases, toys, diapers & wipes, books / kindles, flashlights, those extra things you need

It's already put together when removed from box...which was GREAT! And once you figure out how to fold the chair, yes it is easy. It took me awhile to find the switch (safety mechanism), but I'm glad it's difficult so it can't fold up while my child is moving around on it. I think this set is great and I can easily fold it up quickly when I am vacuuming and moving it around!

I haven't had an issue with it folding over at all. Not sure if that's because it is more rigid, or because it's not large enough for that to happen. The issue I have had with it is that velcros tightly, but not tight enough to keep it from slipping. If I don't move it stays in place but if I am moving around a lot it tends to slide. I think it can easily be fixed with a diy rig or tape, but I haven't tried that yet.

It roll up and unroll very easy, but don't do it too tighten otherwise there are folds.We don't really walk on it, but you must be careful because the the end of the green is a couple of centimeters high.So little feets can easily stumble over it (sorry for my English)

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!

I don't have a photo of it folded, but it does fold upward. If you look at the stock photo provided of the treadmill, to fold it up you simply squat down behind the running platform and lift. It then folds vertically toward the running handles until it is in an upright position. It is easy to fold and takes up much less space than in the operational position.

I'd say it depends on how much your kid moves around. At that age, my kids moved a lot when sleeping, and so they would probably just slide right off it. Although it's certainly safer than just trying to prop them up on pillows.

I do fold it after each use and lean it against the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I manage (I am a 50 yo 5'3" arthritic woman). I have bumped my knees with it a couple of times though. Unfolding is very easy. It isn't too bad if you are only carrying it a short distance.

My daughter is 9 months now and she'll snuggle up on it occasionally but I will only let her use it on the floor. She can easily get in and out of it. We let her take naps on it on our bed when she was younger and wasn't able to move around much. She found it amazingly comfy and took really long naps on it :) now it works well for reading books to her. As far as safety, I have no concerns.

Could you post the floor space it takes when folded? I'm interested in purchasing one for myself. Also, did you get an inside delivery or was it 'curbside only'? Many treadmills seem to be delivered that way, and getting a large item inside and up to my apartment is no something I'd be able to manage. That's the deal breaker for me. Thanks.

Yes it collapses. No, it's not easy for a small child. Her mama says it's difficult enough not to want to bother with often

Very easy, it folds up while connected. I have no trouble putting mine away after baby goes to sleep

Yes, my daughter still falls asleep in the stroller during jogs and is now over 2 yrs old. I have never had a problem raising or lowering the back. To lower it, I use my knee to support the child while releasing the slip adjustments. The only drawback is that the child's legs remain in a bent position. I have often thought it would be nice if the feet could be raised for more comfortable sleeping.
