While the function of this portable crib is great I feel that some of the parts that are exposed( the brackets that allow you to raise/fold) could cause a curious young child to possibly get a finger caught or perhaps cut...I think if I had known this prior to purchase I dont think I would have...just out of safety concerns. Also I would recommend getting a different pad, the one included is very thin. I will say my granddaughter slept very peacefully and it stores well...Below I state I would recommend to someone only after telling/showing the above brackets I mentioned
