Summary: 5 Stars
I had a hard time purchasing this bed because it is a little on the expensive side and I have twins. I bought two Peapod Pluses and paid very close attention as to how to refold them (since a lot of complaints came from that area). My kids (who are 2 years old) loved them right away. That sat inside of them and watched TV and thought zipping them open and closed was a lot of fun. Today was the first day I attempted to get them to sleep inside. Both crawled inside and made themselves comfortable. I zipped my son inside (only the screen not the solid outer cover) and he whined for about 10 seconds but settled into a nap. My daughter (who is a little more mature) I left hers open because I didn't want to encase her the first time she slept in it. She slept a full nap and was very happy when she woke up. My son is still snoozing as I type this. Tonight we'll give it a go for nighttime sleep.
We are traveling to Paris in a week so we need these beds to take to the grandparents house where they are staying while we're gone. I'm happy I bought them since my two don't fit in pack and plays anymore yet are still too young for a big bed.
Notes:
I bought two of the red/blue kind because I read the reviews that said that they yellow/silver one does not come with a pump. Looking back, I wish I could have bought one red/blue and one yellow/silver because the red/blue one comes with a pump! I don't need two pumps, I could have just used the one to inflate both mattresses. DOH! Also, the mattresses do not seem too awful to inflate by mouth if need be. I like to distinguish one as my daughters and one as my sons to eliminate "Mine!" fights. I'll use stickers or something else I guess.
The sleeping bag is pointless unless you are really going camping outdoors and need warmth. It's pretty thick and is really hot. I didn't put the sleeping bag inside but did what others suggested. I took the inflatable mattress, covered it in a mattress pad and sheet from their cribs (fits great) and then put that inside on top of the floor of the tent. I didn't put the mattress in it's little pocket under the tent because the tent floor is rather loud and scratchy. This method works great.
I didn't have a problem refolding the tent. I don't know why some people are having a hard time. It's possible they think they can fold it with the mattress inside? or maybe they don't do a slight "twist" at the end. I suggest just paying very close attention when you get it in the mail. See how it is all folded up before you pop it open. I took a short video of it so I can reference it.
