Hi, considering this for my 1 year old grandson. How do they get in it? Are the sides collapsable? Is it sturdy? Thank you

Daisy,Sides are collapsable but they are sturdy. Think about the window shade that collapse and pop out. You can place your grandson in or if he is tall enough, he can step in. But it is big enough for you to get in with him. You will love this and so will he.

My son was able to get in and out when he was about 10 months crawling. Sometimes his leg would get caught and you would have to help him but now at 1 and walking, he gets in/out very easily. The base is very big and the sides stay up really well (close to chest height when they are sitting in it). I would recommend purchasing extra balls (my only complaint). My son LOVES this and I think it is great too.

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.

I think it is very sturdy and very easy to put together. I looked at several styles and this one turned out to be the right size etc. for my 13 month old grandson. He is 17 months now and has just now mastered sliding down the slide. I figure we still have many more months left before he out grows it.

I bought this for my 1 year old grandkids (22 pounds) and they fit perfectly in them. Their feet reach the bottom and the seat belt is big enough to go around their belly. They sit pretty steady riding it it. My grandson climbs into it by himself to honk the horn. We have to put my great grand daughter in it. Once she is in it she does not flop around in it. They both love riding in it and the parents love it, it is so easy to push both at the same time. I'm sure it would accommodate them till they are at least 2 years old, unless they double in size. lol

It has a bottom so kids will not fall out. When your child is big enough you take the bottom piece out.

It's pretty small but it's great for babies and toddlers, maybe 3 little ones but that might be a bit crowded. One side has like steps in it so the pool floor is not completely flat. Very sturdy too.

It does not fold down. But there is plenty of room on each side for the child to get in and out.

The sides are not entirely soft or rigid... For me are a little bit rigid but flexible too. I have it for my 1 year old and havent had any problems, but kids can fall on it, just have to be carefull...

our 1 yr old grandson was on it everyday...it has a safety seat!! I am planning on buying another one for my own home.

We haven't done this because I really value the super sturdy nature of the design. We always have at least two kids in there and our huge 7 year old (78 pds!) always leaning over the side. He is so tall he probably doesn't need to be in it but refuses to get out, etc.

It gets more sturdy once the sheets are attached. It will stay up to certain standards with the toddler. The little ones will need help to assemble. We set size limits to cut down on mess. If they don't listen it goes back into the Rubbermaid. You can build just about anything you can imagine it does come with an idea book also.

It closes fine but I have a 3 year old and he can easily get in it. My 11 month old can also pull it down but it's a,good size and looks nice. It's made for easy carrying and extends to hold more clothes so that may be why it doesn't secure tightly.

The kids use their legs to push and pull them selfs around the house. You can push them around in it too if you like. I wouldn't get it for kids under 1 years old. They need to be able to sit up and have good balance or they could get really hurt. My 18mo. Old lay down on his belly where the seat is and pushes himself around the house.

Hi Claudia This seat isn't collapsible which makes sturdier- my friend had bought the collapsible version and it was not safe at all. 4 of my friends have bought the cocoon seat sine I bought it and all love I

Hi Alice, its sturdy my two year old sits in but she only weights 26lbs but, her friends play with her and sometimes get in at 70lbs so its really sturdy but looks super light!

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

Previous answer is correct. Our 2 1/2 yr old grandson loves them. Very sturdy. We had one that came with a weak area where the material had not puréed correctly in the mold. Called them and they sent a new one immediately. No questions asked.
