I can't tell you what a lifesaver this play tent is! It keeps baby safe and happy while we're on the beach or at picnics, and it's FUN FUN FUN for her! The material is durable, and it sets up and stores away in a snap! There should be one of these in the car trunk of every parent of an infant or toddler! It's perfect for changing baby too!

My son has a 3 month old and a 1 year old and my youngest two are 9 months old. I love this tent! I take one or two of them to the beach with us and the babies have a nice place to nap, that's quite, dark, and most of all, safe.

I bought one of these tents last year when our daughter was 10 months old, and we wanted to work in the yard. Unfortunately she was a little weirded out initially by the tent, and us zipping her in. I then decided to move it indoors, and then get inside with her, and then play with her. It has never gone outside again. She and all her friends love playing with the tent. I think she would go inside it again if I had put it outside, but it was easier to keep it inside.

The one concern I have with these tents is the siding. It is good that you have mesh (so you can have some air flow through the sides as well). When we first used the tent, it was in the middle of the HOT TEXAS summer, and honestly, she was not getting much airflow into the tent. If you don't have a good breeze, those tents seem like a hotbox (just without the direct sunlight).

I would recommend using the tent indoors before using it outside (especially for those under 12 months), and make sure you have some air-flow.

Educational value of 2 stars because the children learn how to zipper the door open and closed. These things are pretty durable, good sized, and easy to break down and pop up. I really recommend, as long as you take precautions.

I bought this at the time for my 1 year old for the Beach and the public pool. This tent is great for the price. My dauhgter is now 2 years old and she still uses it to play at home. It is easy to set up. The only complaint is that the wind will pick the tent up if the baby or toddler if not inside. I just wrap a bag or shoes to the legs of the tent for weight support.

we spent alot of time at the beach and we wanted something to provide a shady, sand-free spot for our 10 month old son. this tent worked perfectly. it's easy to carry and doesn't take up much room on the boat. it was somewhat difficult to assemble (although there's only 2 parts; the canvas tent and the poles), especially when you're dealing with wind. it is very similar to a real tent with the flexible poles. however, for the price, size and convenience, i can deal with the assemble. one more note, you will need to have weight in it to prevent it from flying away.

I hate to write a negative review...I had such high hopes for this little tent. But the truth is, there is no way to secure it in the sand or prevent your little guy or girl from tipping it over again and again.

The tent itself seems very strong and well-made. However, the poles don't dig down into the sand, and there are no pouches on it to fill with sand to weight it down. From what I hear, the Infant Cabana from One Step Ahead (although more costly) is a much better way to go. I guess you get what you pay for.

My son was able to play with his toys in this tent, but once he saw people outside, he was pushing on the mesh screens to try and get to us, and the tent just kept tipping over. Very frustrating and NOT relaxing at all. We spent a week at the beach and used it only once before we realized it was pretty much useless.

If I had it to do over again...I'd try One Step Ahead. I've never been disappointed by them. Should've known better.

It is really a nice tent. Durable and roomy.
I have a 10 months and a 2 year old one and they both fit in there. And some toys.
Now that doesn't mean they stay in there. ;-)
The first time I put this tent up I was worried that it will be difficult. Of course I had onlookers smerking at me including my husband who thought this was a waste of time and money.But then enjoyed this for his kids.
But it was easy to install and also to take down later on.
And the kids enjoyed a little area of their own. They were protected from the wind and also could see outside.
I put a towel on the floor to give it some cushion.My kids don't sit still much so they/we get use out of it but not like others write where they kids sit and play for hours.
That is not us.
It folds neatly together and fits into this small carry on bag it comes with.
A nice little arrangemnt. Now, the material for the floor is not thick and it even says on the package avoid putting it on hot surface. So you need to put a towel in there or some matt or something that the kids can sit in it. Beachsand can get hot.But that is normal and no big deal. You don't sit on the hot sand neither, but put a towel on it.
I can recommend it.
I haven't seen any other on the beach or at the pool. As a matter of fact I have never seen anyone else so I can't compare how it hold up to the other tents offered on the market.BUt it is nice and works well.
Enjoy.

I ordered this tent for an outdoor concert knowing that I would need to keep my baby out of the sun. It worked great! It's also tall enough for an adult to sit in it with baby. You need some room to set it up since the poles need to be extended before running into the sleeves so if you'll be in a tight space, you may want to set it up before settling into a spot.

This tent allowed our 2 month old to spend some time on the beach. We went in Sept. so the temp. wasn't too hot, but the sun would have made it impossible for our little boy to spend any time out on the beach. This tent was the perfect place for him to rest and have quiet alert time, without worrying about him getting sunburned.

I researched thoroughly to find a tent that could be used inside and out. Finally I decided on Lil Nursery's tent, and I couldn't be happier. It was easy to set up and is a nice size (my seven month old will be able to grow into it). My little guy has fun rolling around, making the tent's floor crinkle and crackle. By the way, the floor is so easy to clean! Excessive drool, spit-up, or diaper leaks are no problem to wipe right up. The tent's mesh sides keep the air flowing, so there's no overheated baby inside when we're outside, and the top of the tent blocks the sun's rays well. I'm glad my research pointed me to this tent!
