Happy Face Caterpillar Tunnel Kids Play Tent by POCO DIVO

Even though the packaging says for 3 and older due to small items that can cause choking, I decided to break against my wife's (first time mom) wishes and order this. I must say, I'm very happy with my purchase.First off - there are not any small "loose" items. There are pieces of string which you use to store away the tunnel, but the threading i believe is pretty durable where I don't think my 11 month old would be able to rip it off. Not to mention she's too busy moving around inside the tunnel to spend time trying to tug away at it.I like the "see through" net, which as another reviewer pointed out, you can monitor your child in terms of what she is doing inside. My kid also does the same - she may be playing inside the tunnel and then all of sudden look through the net to ensure we're around.My daughter, for whatever reason, also plays "catch" with me only in the tunnel. I have no idea why she only does this in the tunnel, but as I guy, I enjoy watching her roll/throw a ball and play catch with me. Also as it's in a tunnel, her erratic throw won't be damaging the tv or anything else for that matter.In terms of storage - this thing is easy to strap up and store away. I can see my child getting bored with the tunnel if i keep out all the time. I tend to bring out maybe on weekends only, as it gives us something to do inside the house on a really hot day, or i guess moving forward, a really cold.My only knock on this thing, and with maybe most tunnels, is there's only 2 openings. It would have been cool if there were smaller openings along the tunnel for us to tie toys or something else to make the tunnel into a little bit of an obstacle course. The only way my kid goes in the tunnel if I'm on the other end, or, if there is a toy/ball/something inside the tunnel she needs to go get.I like this purchase. I know IKEA has tunnels that are cheaper...but the few times I've gone, it's been sold out. So I ordered this one, and I don't have any regrets so far. The kid enjoys, and I enjoy playing with her when she's inside of it.I may update/add to this review down the line for only 1 other concern : durability. We'll see how this is in 6 months.

This tunnel has been everything we hoped it would be . We didn't think that 2 years later it would still be holding up. Yet it is still be used with no holes or damage. Grandkids love to play with it at their home. Ties up with little strings and can easily be placed behind a couch or in a closet. Well worth the money we spent.

I love this pop up tunnel, my kids love playing with it and it's easy to store and travel with because of the storage bag. I was very disappointed with Amazon on this order however, I ordered the package with plenty of time for my daughters first birthday. There was an issue with the payment but I did not know, I only found out late the next day when I checked to see why I had not received a shipping notification. I corrected the issue (or so I thought), I changed payment information and it looked as though it all went through, and the delivery date was updated (still in time for birthday). There was a payment issue again and I again only found it when I check on the shipping status (this happened twice more). I contacted an Amazon representative to ensure I would receive my package in time for her birthday and was assured, twice- by two separate Amazon reps that the package would indeed be delivered on time. One even said "you have nothing to worry about, your tunnel will be there in plenty of time for your daughters birthday!" and the other assured me she would contact shipping to intercept the package and update shipping. Well her birthday came and went with NO TUNNEL! It may not be a big deal to others, but that was the one gift we were going to give her on her birthday- her "real" gift we were giving her at her party the next week, and for this mama it was very important for my baby to have a gift from her mommy and daddy ON her 1st birthday. I wish they would have been honest and I could have made other arrangements.

This tunnel was one of my triplet toddlers' favorite toys while it lasted. They loved to crawl through it or even just sit in the middle of it for some alone time. We brought it out about once a week and let them play with it for an hour under supervision. It folds up easily between uses and has two ties to keep it folded. It also comes with a case to keep it in, although we didn't use the case. Unfortunately, The spiral wire popped right through the seam in one spot after owning it for a few months. I know it's not a terribly expensive product so it's not built for extreme durability, but I'm deducting a star because of the danger of a sharp wire poking sideways out the side of a kids' toy. It didn't pop out at once end, it was about 2/3 of the way down the tunnel so maybe it's not made with one continuous spiral of metal. I'm not sure if I'll be able to repair it myself, hopefully we can since they did love it. If I can't, I'll probably buy a slightly more expensive one and hope to get a little longer out of it.

I used two of these to make two "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Tube Man" halloween costumes. They were wide enough for me (210lbs, 6ft 1in), to lower it over my head and drop it down to the ground and still have some wiggle room while inside, as long as my arms were outside through the holes I cut. With my arms inside it was a bit snug, but still could slide it on.I cut some mouth holes and arm holes out, and covered my sleeves in nylon material, as well as wrapping the nylon material around the outside of the tunnel so my costume was all one color. I attached the nylon "skin" with safety pins and spray adhesive. Then I glued large "googly" eyes on for the eyes that I got from the craft store. Granted you can also paint the eyes on if you wanted, but I thought moving googly eyes made the costume funnier.It was a little constricting to walk sometimes but it was a fantastic halloween costume, ones we had a lot of fun with and got a lot of compliments on.
