Great tent for concerts and festivals

by M. COKER 2007-10-25

This tent is really easy to set up. I don't know what the other people are whining about. If you've ever set up a tent of any type you'll have no problem with this one. I timed myself and it took about 2 minutes to set up. The poles are your typical fiberglass not wood. My wife and I use this tent for festivals so that our daughter has a nice cozy place to avoid the sun and feel safe. She sleeps in it like she's at home. The tent is really light and easy to transport. It's tall enough for an adult to sit in but short enough for people sitting behind you to see over it. It has lots of ventilation for those hot days as well. 5 STARS.

once put together..it's great!!

by Diana Smith 2006-02-07

This tent takes a little work to put together. I don't know what people are talking about when they refer to the wooden poles and getting splinters as the poles on mine are metal. Anyway, once put together it is quite cool! I am 5ft 9" and I managed to be able to sit in it along with my 4 year old (sitting) and my 5month old baby (lay down) so there is plenty of space. I got mine on sale at a babies r us store, so I don't think I would actually pay (...)for it though. You could by a basic regular tent for that much!

PACK-N-PLAY NO MORE!!--AWESOME travel-with-kids solution!!

by Campbell Kraemer 2005-12-03

After a horrible night in a hotel room with our 10-month-old son in a crib "sleeping" next to us, my husband found this tent online. We take it EVERYWHERE, as it gives him a familiar place to sleep away from home & us a safe/secure place we can put him (ie: at friends houses who don't have a childproof home!!) and still have some privacy for ourselves. *NOTE: two features we especially like are the small size (fits in any normal hotel room without extra space, not to mention folding up small to fit into any luggage without problems) and zipper closure (the zipper closure instead of velcro allows us to lock it, preventing any unwanted toddler runaways!!) Our son is 26 months old now & still loves his tent. Wherever we are, when we put up his tent he knows he has a safe place to go "night-night." I'm online right now shopping for another one for our 4-month-old baby!

Not worth the money

by stacey 2005-11-23

I would not recommend this product.

Tents are lots of fun for all kids, HOWEVER this tent is NOT just a pop-up tent. It take some time to set up and the poles are not durable or safe.

My kids have used it for two days, and the wooden poles that hold up the tent split down the middle.

I had to tape them back together and I, myself have gotten a deep splinter.

For the amount of money I spent on this item I would have expected better quality.I would not recommend this product as a play item.

Great for the beach!

by M. Beeman 2005-08-30

I purchased this product for a recent beach vacation. It was really nice to have a place for my 14mo old son to play when he got too hot in the sun. He did think it was fun to try to tip the tent over!! The only downside to this cabana is that you have to put it together like you would a camping tent, which means you have to insert the poles into the holes, etc. And with a toddler who likes to explore, this can take more time than you would like. Nonetheless, we are still very happy with this product and would recommend it highly. Last thing - one of the best features of this cabana is that folds and packs away very small so that it can fit on a suitcase for flying.
