Pacific Play Tents Lil Nursery - Portable Play Tent and Sun Shelter for Infants and Toddler

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 wasn't sure if this would be easy to use or if our baby would even sleep in it on our recent beach trip. This product FAR exceeded my expectations. It's compact, easy to set up, and the perfect size for the beach. Three of the sides are ventilated so that there was nice air flow to keep the baby cool. He was never hot or sweaty. It was also nice that the one side was not mesh, so we could turn it so that that side faced the sun. Our 3 month old slept in this peacefully for hours while we were on the beach. We had several people stop and comment on what a great idea this little tent was. We even saw another couple with an older baby in the same tent, and the baby was playing and having a great time. The bottom is waterproof and helps to keep sand out. We did put the diaper bag inside to keep it from blowing, as it was fairly breezy, but this really wasn't a big deal. It kept the diaper bag from getting sandy and it was easier to just put something inside to weigh it down than it would have been to deal with stakes. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who is hesitant about taking a baby to the beach. It was absolutely perfect for protecting him from the sun as well. We did put sunscreen on his skin, but this probably would have provided adequate protection on its own. I wish they had had these when my other kids were little.

We decided to buy this tent last minute before our recent beach trip. I couldn't be happier that we did!! It was SO nice to have as a little escape for little ones on the beach. I'll admit my 7 month old wasn't able to nap for more than a few minutes in there, but that wasn't a surprise based on his sleep habits at home. He did really enjoy having a nice, comfortable, sand-free place to play with his toys though. Even my 3 & 5 year olds went in for a few little breaks from the beach action. One of my main worries in ordering this tent was that it would be a pain to pack in our checked luggage for our flight - it folds up SO small. I think someone in a review mentioned "about the size of a loaf of bread" - exactly! And probably no heavier than bread either! It assembles with the simple two criss-crossed poles, much like other play tents we have at home. The mesh screens seemed to keep the sand out even on a super windy Florida day. We did put small coolers in there with the baby as an extra safety measure, so he didn't take flight in the wind. On a normal day I think a baby's weight would be fine. All in all, can't recommend enough, especially for a beach trip!

As described, however, I wish it came with some type of tie down or method to secure it. We don't have a lot of storage space, and have been leaving it outside, but I have to use rocks to keep it weighed down. I put my 4 month old in it on a blanket if I am going to be gardening for a while so that I don't have to leave her inside and use the baby monitor. She gets to be outside in the fresh air, but is protected from the sun. Update- used this again at around 8 months on a camping trip. My daughter sat and crawled in it for chunks of time and it kept her safe and off the ground. Now she is walking and summer is around the corner. I can see her still using it as a fun play tent in the yard. All in all, a good baby purchase with multiple uses, which is nice when most of what else you buy is being discarded every few months! Update again! - My daughter is 14 months old and walking! We have this outdoors in our yard and she enjoys going in and out when she is playing. I plan on taking it on a camping trip in May for her to hang out in.

I got this for my son when he was a baby to take to the beach, however, I also set it up inside my house as a play area, which he really enjoyed as he got older. However, I loved it best when I could use it as a nap area and shady place while outdoors. It was easy to set up and is a nice size. Another nice feature is the tent's mesh sides that 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. It wasn't hard to set up. Once you set it up the first time, it's very easy the next time. It does not take long to take down and it is very light and portable. I highly recommend it.

We purchased this tent for our beach vacation for our six month old. Overall, it was the perfect size for one baby to sleep in on the beach, set up was super easy and the mat was just cushy enough to be comfortable for a baby. Just in case someone is interested, it is not big enough for kids to play in...you MAY be able to fit two toddlers if they sat still to eat lunch, but they would have to be small toddlers. The closure is Velcro, not a zipper, so it does not keep bugs out. Also, there was no anchor loops/hard wear meaning we had to put something heavy in the tent so it wouldn't blow away when we took our baby out. The spring loaded thin fiberglass support beams broke our first time taking it down. We were not the ones to take it down, someone in our family did, so it could have been user error - but I find it hard to believe that someone broke it that easily. All in all, served purpose, decent basic tent for an infant...but we only got to use once before it broke. If we hear back from manufacturer we will update this post.

Perfect for our infant grandchild at the beach! Provided shade, while still allowing for airflow.

I was really pleased with this baby tent. It is easy to assemble and sturdy when it is assembled. My Grandson who is 6 months old loved it. Easily fitted him in it with his toys and everything he needed. If I have one criticism, it would be better if it came with pegs to hold it securely down. As it is so lightweight, it is easy for it to blow away in the wind if there is no weight in it. The size is just right about a meter square so not too big for a busy beach. Very good value for money would recommend it for anyone looking for a tent of this size.
