Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.
For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.
Domes, Tunnels and Sacks
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.
Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

Family tent that hit the mark!!,
This review is from: Coleman WeatherMaster Six to Seven-Person Cabin Tent (Sports)
I have been a long time since I have bought a tent and I needed one for my family of three boys. The five of use fit just fine but the things I liked better was the room to stand in the middle and at the edge. It also has an opening to set your shoes outside so you don't have to open the door. The door is great as there is one in the front and one in the rear. The power cord opening in the corner of the tent was vary convenient. When I went to set it up I did not see the instructions but was able to put it up in 15 minutes without the instructions it was that easy, the only tent better than this one is a SpringBar tent but they are three times more expensive. Good Buy on my part.

Great tent but weak in the wind,
This review is from: Coleman WeatherMaster Six to Seven-Person Cabin Tent (Sports)
I bought this tent for Christmas and had 4 successful weekend outings on the North California coast with my 3-year old son. We really loved the roomy interior that you can use from corner to corner. The tent is stereo-symmetric but came with mismatched poles, so that one side was lower in height than the other by several inches, but it still worked fine. However, the tent had a catastrophic collapse one windy day where half of the poles (made of thin rolled steel tubing) suddenly sheared under the strain and of course, the tent went down. Luckily we were all outside and it was still light, so we packed the wreckage and went home. It's still a nice tent for the price, but you should consider heading to a motel rather than gambling a windy night in this one. I will find out if Coleman will replace the poles under warranty (Update - after I contacted Coleman, they picked up the tent for free and gave me a full refund on the purchase price; so I must say their customer service is stellar in case you get a bad one :-)
