Editorial Review
Go on an overnight adventure with Dora the Explorer to, say, the living room floor. This ingeniously convertible play hut or cabana with sleeping bag can be turned into a closed tent by unzipping the bag and then zipping it to the side of the cabana. The main structure springs open and sets up in about three seconds, and is almost as easy to put away in the transparent carry bag. Tunnel ports at both ends allow explorers easy access and exit even when the side is closed. Two holes in the back wall are labeled 100 and 50 and can be used with the two included beanbags for a game of ball toss. Although a fun idea, the sleeping bag is more accurately described in the materials as a "play comforter"--it doesn’t offer much insulation for a cozy night’s sleep. Cabana and bag are both 4 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 3 inches. Ages 3 and up. --Richard Farr

I bought it for my kids because they love dora ... unfortunatly the structure was very badly designed ...first it couldn't stand on its own once the kids got inside it collapsed on them and its fabric is very static , it gave them electric shocks ...
in total it was a very bad toy .

2.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy, unfoldable with Playhut's instructions., March 10, 2003

By	Susan B. McDermott (By the beautiful Jersey shore.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

It doesn't stay anywhere near as taut, straight and firm as the picture appears. Merely brushing up against the side starts it collapsing in on itself, requiring parent's help to straighten it all out again. There are no "loops" under the roof as the assembly instructions direct you to for the stabilizer tube (which doesn't stabilize). The "loops" are actually a narrow tube sewed in the TOP of the roof. Folding is nearly impossible. Do an internet search for "toy enthusiast" from Jacksonville, FL for truly easy folding that playhut doesn't come anywhere near to. This toy was a gift, if I had purchased it myself, I'd return it. I understand other (older) Playhut items are good quality. This one isn't.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING! POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP!, January 7, 2005

By	Little_Blessings (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

My husband and I purchased this tent for our 3 year old for Christmas. She loves Dora and Boots and wanted a tent and sleeping bag just like her big brother. This seemed perfect. Just like the others mentioned, it did fall while she was playing in it but she learned quickly how to fix it and set it back up. She would play in it for hours if we let her (that is the reson for the 3 stars for fun) Long story short, the first night that she slepted in it, it colapsed on her while she was sleeping. Her head and face were completly covered. The sleeping bag, we kept. The tent on the other hand, well our daughter's story goes..."Dora and Boots needed it for all of their adventures so mommy and daddy did mail it to her. But, my brother does let me sleep in his tent" (word for word)

My advice let the kids camp out under your dining room table with a Dora sheet over them. Sure bring the Dora sleeping bag along too, but leave that death trap of a tent alone!
