Toys and Games Reviews of Pacific Play Tents Lil Nursery Tent
Customer Review: Worth the $$
Summary: 3 Stars
We purchased this beach canopy for a weekend getaway to Sanibel for our 3 month old son. It was great to have a place to lay him when he needed a nap on the beach and we didn't have to worry about him getting covered in sand or being eaten by mosquitoes. Once he can sit on his own it should be more fun...I love the zippered front so he can't escape once you get him in there(until he learns how to work a zipper!)Only drawbacks are that the roof of the tent is light yellow, so if your child is laying on his back he's being blinded by the sunlight that shines through. Also, the canopy does not have any sort of anchor to keep it from blowing away. It's usually very breeze on a Florida beach, and we had to keep the cooler or something heavy inside the tent to keep it from blowing away when or son wasn't inside. It's also magenta and yellow...not exactly neutral colors so it was kinda girly for our little boy. Over all, it did what we wanted it to do, and it was very simple to set up and take down. It was worth the money.Customer Review: TIPS OVER - USELESS AT THE BEACH
Summary: 2 Stars
I hate to write a negative review...I had such high hopes for this little tent. But the truth is, there is no way to secure it in the sand or prevent your little guy or girl from tipping it over again and again.
The tent itself seems very strong and well-made. However, the poles don't dig down into the sand, and there are no pouches on it to fill with sand to weight it down. From what I hear, the Infant Cabana from One Step Ahead (although more costly) is a much better way to go. I guess you get what you pay for.
My son was able to play with his toys in this tent, but once he saw people outside, he was pushing on the mesh screens to try and get to us, and the tent just kept tipping over. Very frustrating and NOT relaxing at all. We spent a week at the beach and used it only once before we realized it was pretty much useless.
If I had it to do over again...I'd try One Step Ahead. I've never been disappointed by them. Should've known better.
Customer Review: Newborn + sunshine = need for this tent
Summary: 4 Stars
What do you do to keep a newborn out of the sun while enjoying spring and summer weather? Get this tent! It's easily portable, and goes up quickly - just like a standard sized dome tent. We learned how roomy it is the first time we used it: our 2 month old was stretched out on the floor of the tent asleep while our 2.5 year old and a 4 year old friend sat next to him and played. Yet the total footprint wasn't a whole lot bigger than the camp chairs the grown-ups were sitting in.
The floor of the tent is a sturdy plastic - great for keeping out damp but not too comfy. No problem - just put a towel or blanket under sleeping kidlets. The only thing that kept this from getting 5 stars is the door. It closes with 4 tabs of velcro, rather than a zipper. I don't think the closure would keep mosquitos out or a determined child in. Other than that, I think the tent is great!
Customer Review: Great play tent fits in very small bag
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this tent to take to the beach for my 8 month old. The bag it comes in is so small that I thought, at first, that the tent may be too small for my baby. The tent is a great size for an 8 month old and even a little larger. It's very durable and is great for the beach, except that, when your baby isn't in it, you need to put something in it to keep it from blowing away. The assembly was very easy for my husband who has assemble tents before, but I found it a bit more difficult. I would recommend that you face the solid purple tent side in the direction of the sun as the shear sides don't provide shade. The first day we used it on the beach, I ended up draping our beach towels over the side to shield my napping baby from the sun. Overall, I am VERY happy with my purchase of this tent. I think it is value priced, and it fits back into its very small back with ease.Customer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 1 Stars
For our first child we had the quick cabana we loved it!! It however only survived two years with an active toddler, two dogs and a cat. This time we opted for a cheaper version intended for the beach. It is awkward to put up especially on a windy beach. You have to watch the direction of the sun because sun gets through all sides. The vecro closure is a pain. To weigh the tent down we had to put our beach bag in it not leaving much room for our nine month old. If you are looking for a tent for little ones to play inside and intend to keep it up this is the tent for you. If you want a tent for the beach or just to be outside. Go for the quick cabana. We loved that tent and wish we would have spent the extra money. This tent for us has become a playroom tent. You get what you pay for. Wish we would have gone with the quick cabana
