I bought this tent for my one year old son and he absolutely loves it. The floor of the tent makes a rustling noise when walked on and that adds to the fun for him. He runs in the front door and crawls out the back hole over and over again. It has two mesh openings for ventilation and my son likes to peek out of them. Makes for a good nap after playing with it! I'm going to buy the tunnel that connects to the opening on the back. I love this tent because it is easy to put up and take down and is very compact when disassembled. There are also no rough or sharp edges on which you can get hurt. So far it seems very durable and my son plays rough. As long as it holds out, it should provide years of fun. I definately give it a two thumbs up!

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter. We used it outside for the summer and it's great. I would suggest keeping it inside as the outdoor elements warped it after 3 or 4 months--and also the sun faded it quite a bit. It was pretty sturdy until the wind and rain got to it. I think if you plan on keeping it outside, consider it disposable after one season. If you keep it in the house, it would last a long time. Great fun and a great deal for the money! And as an adult, I DID fit into it with her!

My husband just came home with this. I put it together myself and it was quite easy, the hard part was taming the kids while I did it. MY 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old love this. They love to crawl through the hole and my daughter insist on keeping the "curtains" open. They find it funny that mommy gets stuck in the hole. My son (1 1/2), we call him the destroyer, loves to jump on the tent. This is not reccomended because after only a few days, one of the prongs kind of bent and now the tent looks a bit lopsided. I also noticed that the prongs quickly went through two of the feet on the bottom. I was able to fix it with a couple of stitches. A great item for 3 yrs and up but not quite suitable for destructive 1 1/2 yr olds.

ours is an older model which has 2 windows plus the zipper entry, and it came with the tunnel. it had been well used by the previous family, so i needed to do some simple machine sewing to reinforce the loops that the poles slip into, but other than that it has weathered very well. all of my son's friends love coming over to play in the tent and tunnel. even our cats enjoy getting in there when my son isn't around. sets up and collapses very easily. we've even brought the tunnel along with us on a trip to give our son someplace familiar to play in hotel rooms. a friend told me "i'm gonna skip gymboree, and just make an appointment to play with you" and your tent! i got the tent in early august, and my 2 yo son is still in it every day.

Its a good tent for the little ones. Indoors or out. My grandchildren love it. However one of the main reasons I was sold on this tent was that in the description from Toy R Us and Amazon says its padded. The bottom is only a piece of tarp, not padded. Kinda misleading. But the kids do love it and it is a great toy for the price. I would recommend it for anyone with little ones who love to crawl, play hide -n- seek, and 'hide' from adults. Like I said, a bit disappointed the bottoms not padded but I am very glad I bought it.

We bought this tent for our son (age 20 months) for Christmas. He loves it. It is so much fun for him to hide from Mommy and Daddy in his tent. It is quite durable - he climbs in and out and regularly crashes into it on his ride around cars. It's held up to all of this with no problem. We have this setup in his play area - when not in use - it's a great place to store toys, books and other small items that might look messy if let in plain view. I would recommend this product - for the price, you can't beat the value.

My five year old and I too have enjoyed this item. It seems of equal price and quality. The size of it is attractive. It does not take up the whole room when set up. It's large enough for play but, not too big to walk by. The storage is great. It has a small bag with a slot to add a name tag for storing.

Our son is nearly 3 years old, and really enjoys playing with this tent - both inside and outside the house. The mesh panels at the top alow him to look out (or in when playing with friends), and helps provide reasonable ventilation. He also loves having the tunnel hole as well as the main entrance as this gives him more options in crawling in and out of the tent.

If it's windy, this tent will be blown around a bit as there are no pegs to secure it down. However, the fact that it can just as easily be set up indoors more than makes up for this - especially if it's cold or raining outside and he needs something different to play with.

A minor critisism is the velcro strips used to secure the tent flaps look they'll come apart sooner or later - though so far they've managed to hold on even with some fairly rough play.

Overall, the versatility of this tent and relatively low cost have made this a great buy for us.

Kids love having a place to hide, and tents like this one let you provide a safe place to hide that you can still keep an eye on. It's not a terribly rugged unit, but for the intended age group is sufficient; just don't try to use it outdoors. It's best used on a carpeted surface in a family room or living room.

I like the vent on the top- a good safety feature that keeps air flowing in- but you still want to keep a close eye on kids in ANY play structure, particularly the younger ones.

My kids absolutely love this toy, however, I have noticed a lot of fine bright blue powder-like particles when I am sweeping our wood floors. Being a nurse, I am very concerned that if I'm finding this 'dust' two and three rooms over from where the tent is set up, that my kids are actually inhaling it into their lungs in addition to tracking it all over the house via their socks. Thusfar no one has mentioned any strange blue streaks in their Kleenexes when they sneeze etc but since 2 of my kids have had problems with bronchospasms and wheezing in the past I am taking this tent down until I hear from the manufacturer as to what is going on. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
