Bought this for my son as a Christmas present and he loves it. He plays with it, hides in the tunnel, drags it around and yes, tries to lie on it. Is it durable? Yes it can handle my 2.5ft 26lb toddler trying to fight it like Steve Irwin fights a crocodile π ππ Is it easy to fold and put away? Yes, just sit on the floor with your knees touching the floor/or sit in a chair, straighten the tunnel, cover it with your knees and then fasten the Velcro. Do I recommend this as a gift? Love it!
