Toys and Games Reviews of Pacific Play Tents Lil Nursery Tent
Customer Review: Good sun protection for the beach
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this originally for our trip to TX is August. We used it as a portable crib for my then 10month old. It worked out well except that he wouldn;t fall asleep in it, kept crawling out. We ended up lying on the bed with him to get him to go to sleep, and then transferring him to the Lil nursery later. It did work out welll not to have to lug my pack n play on to the plane, as I was the only adult flying down with 2 kids (we met my husband there).
We do use it all the time for the beach too. He usually eats lunch and plays a little while in the tent, and will crawl in and out. At this point he is really crawling everywhere so he doesn't spend lengths of time in it but it is still wonderful. I'm now expecting a new baby in April and a sure we'll use it next summer with him/her for naps, etc.
Customer Review: Frustrated Mommy!

OK, I just opened this and am having trouble with the poles. I feel like a complete moron as my 7 month old watches me try and try again to get the poles to fit in properly. Once I get one end in the corner pocket, I go to the other end to fit that one in. Then the first one pops out. Maybe I need a second pair of hands. Am I doing something wrong, and is there an easier way to do this? I'm sure I will love it once it is up, so I am giving it 5 stars all around.
(Edited 5/2/06) I want to say that I was doing it wrong at first and that is why I had such problems. Once I realized the proper way to have the poles (rigid, not bent at each joint), I was able to do it in a snap. I love this tent! I just took it to a hotel pool 4 days in a row and set it up each time. It was great!
Customer Review: Great for the sun!

It takes a few minutes to set up, but I really don't have any complaints about it. I use it almost daily in the summer at the local pool, and have used it several times at the beach. I suppose it could have pouches to fill with sand so it doesn't blow away like some other beach tents have, but I always just put my beach bag in there and I've never had any problem. At the pool, I just put a beach towel in there for my little one to lay on, no need to weigh it down with anything else unless it is a very windy day. I love that is has mesh on three sides so that the baby gets air and you can see them easily from any angle, but the sun is not getting them. Very useful little item that I'm sure we'll be using at least until the baby is done with naps. One of the best purchases I've made for this baby.Customer Review: great for the summer sun

With the humidity here in NY it's hard to offer much help to a baby like mine that doesn't like the heat, but this does offer some relief. I keep it in the car so if I go to someone's house and we are bbqing or whatever I can set this up in the shade and let the baby sleep. It folds up very very small into its own little drawstring bag so it's not a big deal to carry along with you. It is large enough to fit a few kids--my nieces age 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 cannot stop fussing over my 3 month old and they get in there with him and poke at him when I set it up. It is very easy to set up, but I would suggest you bring a big towel or pad to put at the bottom because the vinyl/plastic/nylon (?) it is made out of would not be comfy for baby on the ground.Customer Review: Great for the beach!

I bought this tent last minute because my husband and I wanted a selfish beach weekend. We have a 6 week old - we put him in the car seat and then put the car seat in the tent. It was perfect. I felt the tent totally protected him from the sun. The only drawback (and I don't know how they'd fix this since there needs to be airholes!) is that one of the days was very windy and the fine grains of sand got in the tent. The only other thing which didn't affect us, but might if you don't have the car seat to weigh the tent down is that there are no stakes to dig into the sand to keep the tent down.
But the tent was truly great! We had a relaxing weekend and Jack enjoyed hanging in his little oasis listening to the ocean.
