Can this be machine washed?

I would think it could, as long as it was done in cold water on a gentle cycle. I would suggest to Not use alot of detergent and no fabric softner. That being said I have never actually put ours in a washing machine, so I am not positive on this.. We have washed ours with a low power power washer and it was just fine after.

Weight limit?how much weight will it hold?

I’m 120 pounds and it hold me up as well as my husband who is 160 pounds.

Are the package dims 20x20x20 accurate? Would it fit in suitcase if unopened for travel?

Our box was very large I don’t think would fit in a suitcase but you could transfer to a smaller box or bag and then should fit in large suitcase

How much bigger is this than alligator? Buying for a 4 yo, too big?

It’s about the same length as alligator but fatter (maybe 2-3 times as fat). It should be fine for a 4 year old. We have the hippo, alligator and jellyfish and our girls are 2, 5 and 7.
