Beach Tent, Sunba Youth Beach Shade, Anti UV Instant Portable Tent Sun Shelter, Pop Up Baby Beach Tent, for 2-3 Person

It's held up through 3 months of constant use. Beach, woods and the back yard. My kid and dog play in it and neither have managed to damage it. (They can both be a bit rough) super easy to pack up and store away.

So far so good! I absolutely love the size of this tent. It is not overly huge, so you don’t feel like you have a monstrosity with you at the beach. It is perfect for kids also to change in you can zip it up for privacy - it has plenty of space without being oversized. It is simple and easy to pop open, I did not bother trying to use the rods so I can’t review on those. I just placed my beach bags on either side on the inside of it, and it held it down with no problem.Now for the part about closing it: I just want to say I am one of those people who loses their patience pretty easily BUT, I finally figured out how to so it with EASE. Also, look up youtube video (does not have to be the same brand) just to give you an idea on how to close it - that’s what I did and it was life changing. The TRICK: fold it on either side closed, Stuff the bottom part inside the two closed ends (it’s in the middle) then lay the tent on it’s side. Fold it like a taco, put one hand on the top (pointed part) and your other hand on the bottom, fold it like a taco. Then, bend it towards you, inside and let it naturally fold where it wants too. Then just twist it around and DONE.I hope this makes sense.I did this multiple times with zero issues and my sanity is saved!!!

I am very happy with this tent- the ease of setup is what makes it so great for me. I took my 2 month old and 8 year old to the beach alone and had zero issues setting up. It was ready in under a minute. Sun protection is good and I like the screen in the back to get a breeze. The front zipper ties up easily to keep open. A little challenge to fold it back up but otherwise very happy with this. I was able to sit in the tent with my little one out of the sun comfortably while my 8 year old swam.

This product is great especially for the price! I don’t know why everyone is so fussy about the folding, it’s not the most simple thing on the world but they provide a video to show exactly how it should be folded! Super helpful and actually rather easy! So to everyone who complained about that, sorry ya should have watched the video first! It folded up perfectly on the first try! The only thing that could be better is something to hold the little air flap on the back part of the tent closed. We had some windy days and the breeze came right through to where my baby was sleeping. However, on a hot day it would snot have been a problem! It’s just something I would have enjoyed having. A personal preference!

Would buy again. Super easy set up... Folding up takes some getting used to but it does come with instructions. We ran a portable fan inside and the kids would pop in and out during our time on the beach. Kept the cooler bag inside which was helpful. 18 month old took one nap inside which extended our time on the beach. Quality is fine... Not sure how many trips it will last with 5+ kids...

I want to burn this thing... my partner and I are both infuriated right now as we have been trying to pack this thing down and put it in our car for like 45 minutes! It is absolutely impossible to pack down or to travel with… Watched a YouTube video and the lady made it look so easy but I don't know what kind of a voodoo magic she has because it is so hard and impossible and it's absolutely infuriating! It is all bent and warped now with us trying to do it… I bought it for my three month old baby to use at the beach and it was such a waste of money because we can't even get it back in a package or fit it in the car the way it is let alone carry it all expanded like that at the beach! Do not buy this friggen thing... find something else!

So, I like this little thing in theory. But it wasn't a clear winner for me.PROS:- It is light weight and compact (if you can manage to fold it again)- It seemed to provide good sun protection (but we also had it under a canopy anyway)- The size is good for a baby laying down or sitting up (and truly a parent could squeeze in there too although unless you're pretty short it doesn't seem like it would be comfortable to do so).- The color is cuteCONS:- The title says it's meant for the beach, but beaches tend to be windy, and this thing cannot withstand the wind. We had to hold it down in the corners on the inside and even still the material at the top was encroaching downwards. If you're using it somewhere that's not so windy, it shouldn't be a problem. But if it's meant for the beach as the title claims, then I feel it should withstand some wind...- Once your baby is mobile, they're probably not going to want to be in there. Maybe if they can still fit comfortably they will willingly use it again in toddlerhood. But it's not really the type of product that grows with them at every stage. That's fine, but something to consider.- It's a pain to fold. Be sure to learn how ahead of time. No parent feels like messing with that at the end of a long day at the beach.Ultimately, I don't completely regret purchasing it because it was a fairly inexpensive solution for a beach trip. It gave me a non-sandy place to set baby down when the wind was calm enough. But I can't wholeheartedly recommend it either...
