I'm never a good judge of the size of things when I look at the spec's I'm a more visual person so I was really wondering if this was going to be big enough for my 8 month old nephew. But when it arrived I was quite happy and surprised by its actual size. I'm a medium build 160 pound women and it fits me and the little guy with some room to spare if I'm sitting cross legged. Its extremely easy to set up and take down and light weight to carry around the yard with him on my hip. I bought this one because it also has a thin foam mat insert and not many of the others had that. I do wish that it was a little thicker for when we're on hard ground but I usually just put a pillow in behind him as well. It keeps him well shaded and visible while we work in the garden. My only complaint is that I wish the door zipped up instead of having velco because it only took my nephew 5 minutes to learn how to pull the door open and reach out to grab a handful of dirt which is what we didn't want him to do. But if we put his back to the door and spread out all his toys infront of him it usually keeps him busy.
