It comes nicely folded and i was able to get it mostly folded like it was but quit a bit more puffy. It has a handy carrying handle and there is velcro to keep it closed after you roll it up. It folds up quickly and easily.

This is a very large picnic blanket that is waterproof and padded. I really like how portable the blanket is and that it's machine washable.

It's relatively waterproof. At first the water pooled on the surface, but eventually it got absorbed. It keeps him on a clean area and keeps him from spitting up on the carpet as well.

Stakes are very helpful, although we prefer to use medium sized rocks, logs, or bottles of rye whiskey to hold down the corners. There are plastic stakes included in case you are using it outside or at the beach and it is windy.

The blanket is not machine washable. To me, something that is plastic on the front and back is a tarp, not a blanket. The past ones bought are all true to the term lightweight. All plastic, no cloth padding.

The handle is way to short to be remotely useful. It takes scrubbing and it still does t come clean. Folding it up is also not fun. Kinda just makes the entire thing filthy next time you use it.
