Toys and Games Reviews of Pacific Play Tents Lil Nursery Tent
Customer Review: Nice tent for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this last summer for a trip to Destin, FL for our then infant son and toddler daughter. It didn't get much use in Destin (about 10 minutes) only because we didn't end up needing it, not because of any defect, so I can't rate it much on its use at an actual beach. However, I can say the ease of setup and complete portability (the bars have a very ingenious, snap and lock way of folding down to about a 1-1/2 foot length, and it actually *fits* fairly easily back into its over the back travel bag) make it an A++ child's product in my book. It's very well thought out. We have it set up in our library now, with pillows and blankets and the kids love reading in there.
Some pros:
1. It's extremely easy to set up and take down. Takes one person about 2 minutes.
2. Nicely portable. Folds up tiny (will fit in most diaper bags), and inside a carrying bag, with a strap that allows you to throw the bag across your back, making it easy to carry it AND your kid(s). A must for parents with diaper bags and sippy cups and snacks etc. A lot of thought was put into this aspect of the product, for which I am very grateful.
3. It's fairly roomy. I (smallish, 5'2 mom) and both my kids can fit in there if I'm sitting up and reading to them. I can sit straight up if I'm in the middle (a little hunched, but still comfortable on the side). Right now we have about 4 blankets, 1 boppy pillow and 4 toss pillows in there and they still manage to fit themselves (3 y.o. and 1 y.o.) and a boatload of toys too. In a pinch, it could be used as a outdoor napping area, perhaps for even up to 3 toddlers.
4. Ventilated sides, so they don't get too hot in there.
5. Bottom is lined, to protect against hot sand.
6. I find the design to be pretty ingenious, both when folded up for storage and when set up. The collapsibility of the bars help ensure that rough toddlers will just maybe unsnap them out of place rather than break them. It's a neat little setup. Maybe I'm just easily impressed.
A few minor cons, which are to be expected considering the low price:
1. The bottom is crinkly with a waxy surface. I realize it's for water-resistance, but it's a bit noisy. We've limited the noise by piling up blankets on top but still a little annoying.
2. Fairly cheap tent material. But to be expected.
3. The mesh door folds down, where it can be held into place by little velco straps. When you have a young baby learning to walk, these little obstacles can be a minor nuisance. I think it would have been better for the door to fold up.
4. The dome design requires some sort of weight to be put inside when using outdoors, otherwise the wind will take it away. Anchors would be nice.
I'm really happy about this product and would recommend it, and other Pacific Play tents to other parents.
