Does the box have soft sided storage, or are the sides rigid? Not sure which is preferable for 1-2 year olds, but wanted to confirm.

The sides are not entirely soft or rigid... For me are a little bit rigid but flexible too. I have it for my 1 year old and havent had any problems, but kids can fall on it, just have to be carefull...

The box has soft sides. It's safe for toddlers. It's larger than the canvas boxes at Target. May be hard for a little one to pick up.

It is soft sided, with a rigid I sent for the bottom. Kid can fall on it without getting hurt.

No just storage and if you have younger children they seem to break easy but the main one that does have the tray is pretty sturdy

The bottom is a nylon material because otherwise it wouldn't be able to fold up. You wouldn't want to stack these crates. So yes, I would call the bottom soft. It is not rigid.

I agree with the answers below. It is firm and is only one sided. We love it.

It stands up right. There is a removable cardboard to keep the base so it stands up but if you wanted to take it out ti will fold down and collapse. The sides will easily fold in which makes it easier to move around that it doesn't stay box shape.

The sides "snap" into tracks in the base as well as tracks in the opposing sides. Once assembled it is quite secure and the lid - once it is correctly bolted in with the slide pins - clicks securely to the sides when closed. This is really a nice Patio Box but assembly is a bit tricky because there are no words, only pictures for guidance. That said, I would definitely buy this one again.

Hi Erik. It's pretty small so if your kid is not into running around within it, then it's fine (ie just sitting playing w a toy etc) and it's plenty tall such that they can't get out of it. Much lighter and easier to assemble than a pack n play. You need to get a sheet for it too, remember .

No, the two sides do not come completely apart. I think there might be a slight chance to spill items if not opened carefully. You would need to make sure the box is laying on one side so that side does not spill when opening the other side.

We have had our daughter in it since her 4th birthday without incident. Putting it in a corner is best. The storage section also acts as a guard for them not to tumble out. It really depends on your child but the unit is veryvsturdy and safe. We have never worried about her falling out

The sides & backing are material-like... kind of like what is used in the folding travel chairs, only thinner. It folds flat & where the sides come together, it's Velcro. The partitions are a heavy cardbaord. My granddaughter loves it. She'll be 4. Hope this helps you out!!!

Only the bottom is hard the rest is a soft material. You can store it in a smaller space.

Not so far as I've been able to figure out. The bottom has enough weight so it doesn't typically slide, but it's a freestanding, divided box.

The storage below is ok. It comes with a screen to completely contain the dog (if you have a jumper or nipper) also has a rain one.The cup storage is ok for me. The underneath storage is ok also. Not as big as my kid stroller has but then no diaper bag either. The top holder has space for 2 cups and a spot in between for my phone. I think it had a little cover on it, but my daughter took it off.Overall for the price we are very happy with this.

bottom is semi-rigid....it expands when you open it up...I've used mine for several months and it works well for me...the sides are also semi-rigid and it stands up and stays open with no problem...also bottom has Velcro for stability, won't move around...sides have netting pockets for water bottles, etc. stores CD's, paper towels, and keeps all the little things together and not all over the car.

The walls of the box could be a little bit thicker, but still rigid enough. The box is not too bad for the money you pay.

I got the toy chest for my 2.5 year old and he enjoys it quite a bit seems sturdy. The lid has a piston device so it can't be slammed down, the only complaint is that the corners are sharp. I put the foam corner guards on them problem solved.

Hummm... I don't know. We never tried to collapse it when she wasn't using it. But, you could probably save the box it came in, and put it back in there for storage when the child outgrows it. It ships flat.
