I got this as a gift as I had registered for it since it was washable. My daughter is almost a year and I just opened it..... didn`t need it before.....got a bassinet and other gadgets as gifts. I opened it as Im using it for my daughter to sleep in at family`s house for the night (we have a wedding). It is easy to open and close but it`s very heavy to cart around. I havent put together the change table or bassinet part cause I don`t need it but it doesn`t look so easy and the instructions aren`t very good. Had I known how heavy it was I would have registered for something lighter to travel with. Also the bottom is very hard for a toddler to sleep in - its basically MDF with padding. The instructions advise not to make it to soft for suffocation reasons but her mattress is about 200 times softer and she is doing just fine. I will be putting extra padding for her so she can sleep comfortablly
