My Niko was looking really scrunched in the first crate we got him. He couldn't sit up without hunching. I just checked but the sticker that says what size it is got scraped off (Rosa still uses that size but she's half of Niko's size).

Anyway, we went and got a Midwest crate that is 54 x 37 x 45. It is super big and Niko can totally stretch out any which way, sit up with loads of headroom too. He could invite friends over for sleepovers. If you have the room for something that big, I'd go with that.

BTW, totally NOT portable. Set it up and expect to leave it there.
