I have a soft sided crate open all the time in my room for my kiddos to go into when they want someplace to "hide"... they always have a bed and blanket in there and various toys that they are hiding from me or each other
One or both of them spend time in there everyday.
I got it at bed bath and beyond it was under 20 bucks and it folds up into a bag if needed... which is perfect for taking on vacations and using in the hotel.
