We asked for this tunnel last Christmas for our daughter. While she loves it, the wire spring popped out of the material the 3rd time we used it. She was 11-months-old, it's not like she was being rough with it. We've duct taped the end of the wire and duct taped that to the end of the tunnel, but I still feel like it's a safety issue! For the thirty dollar price tag (from a certain giraffe-represented toy store that now carries the exact same tunnel in a different multi-color and calls it a new item...), I'm very dissapointed that it fell apart so quickly. We loved the nice large size and that it folds down so easily so we can tuck it away to save space, but it still only gets one star because the features don't mean anything if it breaks so quickly and becomes a safety hazard. This tunnel is a fail in my book. It's too bad, because it really could've been a great product.
