Just got it out of the box and put it together so my son has yet to use it. The instructions that come in the box are just plan wrong. Whoever wrote them must have only had the idea of how it goes together. It tells you to fold it out, then put on the legs, followed by the blue protective covering, and finally the handle.
What you should do:
1. Open it up.
2. Put on the blue covering. There are holes cut into it that line up with the slots for the legs and the handle. The holes for the handle brackets should be pulled completely over the bracket and the threaded nubs just poke through a bit. Makes it much easier.
3. Then screw on the six legs.
4. Finally attach the handle and you're good to go.
Some reveiws talked about folding it up to transport. This is pretty well put together and will require taking it apart to fit into the travel bag. I have no intention of traveling with it so was nervous that it was unsafe if it folded up, so I was pleased to see it wasn't easy and seems quite sturdy. Frankly the travel bag seems like a waste,like but I'm sure I'll find another use for it.
Now I'll see how my 2.5 yr old likes it and how it performs.
5 star review so far though it's not really hard to assemble, will update as needed with use.
UPDATE
It's been a week and my 2 year old really enjoys it. It's a good redirection when he starts jumping on the couch. Admittedly the first 3 days it got a lot of use but now it's more infrequent but that's to be expected with two year olds. If it helps he is 36 tall and 32 lbs and it has no trouble staying on the carpet floor.
Assembly tips and opinion on quality.
