We purchased this shelter/tent for out 6 month old to use at the beach. We did SO much research to find the "perfect" beach shelter, and we are so glad that we settled on this one! It is so easy to put up and take down (literally less than a minute), and it actually fits EASILY back into the storage bag! That is a huge bonus since so many tents don't do that. Prior to making this purchase we bought two other shelters/tents that were terrible. This one is really perfect! It is roomy, and is secures easily. There are stakes and pouches to fill with sand. We have used it on a breezy beach day, and the stakes kept the tent in place. However, if you need to use the bags on the sides for weight, I recommend filling ziploc bags with sand first then placing them in the pouches so that when it comes time to take the tent down, you don't have to empty out the sand.
The two sided design is what sold us, since so many other shelters/tents keep the heat in which can be too much for a baby on a hot day. The open sides allow for ample air flow and a nice breeze. We love how the bottom can be easily removed so next summer our son can play safely in the sand without us having to worry about the sun.
Everyone at the beach comments about this tent and how great it is. We love this tent and highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars great shade, August 18, 2009

We purchased this shelter for our annual trip to Martha's Vineyard, in hopes of protecting our 8 month old. It worked perfectly! Not only was it increduably simple to open and set up. Taking it down, while holding the litle guy was so easy. South beach on the Vineyard can be very breezy, after filling the sand bags and placing the stakes this shelter didn't move.
I spent a great deal of time reviewing many other shelters and honestly took a gamble getting this one. I liked the open sides which created great air flow.
After using this all summer, without a doubt, would highly recommend this shelter to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the park or the beach, June 11, 2009

We have a 6 month old baby and were looking for something to shelter him from the sun when we go to the beach or the park. The Cielo shelter fits the bill. It's very easy and quick to set up and take down. With the two sides open, you get shade but still feel like you're enjoying the outdoors. the meshing along the bottom of the sides provides nice ventilation on hot days.

The only reason I don't rate this a 5-star is that the side bends in a bit in a stiff wind. It doesn't fall over or anything like that, but the supporting rods flex a bit more than I'd like.

I'd definitely purchase this tent again.
