This tent may look cute, but the materials are really cheap and it really is so flimsy that it will fall down every time your child moves around in it. Instead of trying to take a break while your child amuses him- or herself popping in and out of this tent, you are constantly setting it up again after it falls over AGAIN. I kid you not, I think I was doing this once a minute for at one point. I finally gave up and had to stay inside, propping it up with my arms in order for it to stay up around my 3-year-old.

I realize now in retrospect that the Ikea play tents have left me spoiled. If you want a tent that actually stays up, is constructed from much better material, and is half the price, go to Ikea. Avoid this tent, because you will regret it. I know I do!

Be carefull when purchasing this product. I was confused the the fact that it says it uses EZ Twist technology. In fact it only uses that for the two side walls. However, because it doesn't use it for the front or back the thing doesn't stay up at all. To compenate for this they send two poles to stick in holes towards the top of the hideaway. Thus leaving the bottom without any support.

In addition to this be very carefull when looking at the dimensions. This thing is deep and high for little kids but barely wide enough to fit one child.

In short, don't waste your money on this garbage that doesn't fit more than two toddlers with no elbow room and falls down every time they move. You will end up spending your entire day putting it back up for them.

This is a very flimsy tent. Support bars broke through material after 3 days, tent won't stay up without them. My son is a huge Cars fan, and won't even play with this because it is so poorly built.

I am so happy that he loves this thing. quality isn't bad- it falls down but you just pick it up and it's back to normal. it has devolped a small tear where you insert the poles- I wish they made the poles more flexible it would help alot and it wouldn't have torn, but my kid loves it and that's all that counts.

I bought this tent at Toys R Us and it is just a waste of money. The tent had two poles that support the sides but there is nothing to support the bottom. So every time my child goes into the tent it falls on him when he moves a little. It is just tooo flimsy. I am going to return it tomorrow.

The material is so cheap on this tent. The seams let go when I inserted the plastic poles meant to give the tent some structure. Within days the poles poked through the material and could no longer keep the tent taught. The tent never stayed up, every time my son went in it it would fall over. My son loved this tent and it broke my heart to throw it out after having it for only one month! Don't buy it, you'd be better off building a tent with some chairs and blankets and use the [...] bucks on something else!

I bought this tent for my 16 month old because he loves Mater and Mcqueen. He can't even go in and out of it without it falling down. I'm returning it for the Thomas the Tank tent.

Great idea for a "tent" in theory, however, the two poles provided do not actually keep the tent from falling over. My son loves it, but it doesn't keep me from having to constantly pick up the tent to reset it.

My grandchildren had a pop up tent that was starting to wear out. I thought my grandson would love this because he loves all things "Cars". I was very disappointed that it didn't just pop up. After you opened it, you had to insert two bunged sticks into the ends. Not only did it make it difficult to put away quickly and easily, but the spaces for the sticks quickly ripped. The sticks broke through and the tent would collapse. I finally cut the material off this tent and sewed it to the frame of their truly pop up tent.
