Monobeach Baby Beach Tent Automatic Pop Up Shade Cabana Portable UV Sun Shelter

Today was my 2nd time using this tent at the beach. The first time it was not very windy and this tent was amazing (especially for the price!). To help it not get too hot we added a battery operated fan and it was perfect to keep baby shaded and a great place to play, sleep, or even nurse. We were able to fit 3 babies (7 months and younger) in it comfortably However, today’s trip was very windy and the tent collapsed about 4 times and rendered itself useless. We had all pegs in the ground and they were having a hard time staying down due to the wind. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase because I know that the majority of the time this will be a great tent, but I wish there was a tether or something that could help to support the tall center and keep it from collapsing, because most days at the beach get pretty windy. Pic of today, before the series of collapses.

I give this four stars because it was convenient and cheap. It withstood the wind and was easy to fold up once I watched a you tube video. It was too hot inside for our five month old grand baby so we placed it in the shade of a beach umbrella and it instantly cooled off inside and was the perfect environment for our little one to nurse , nap and play. We used it five times and I felt like the stitching was coming loose in places and the internal supports warping a little but it was so cheap that I feel like I got what I paid for.

So I initially bought this when my baby was less than a year old. I had great plans to take her to the beach or to my moms sunny backyard and use this as a shade. Never happened. Know what it’s great for? You know those super cute teepees that people have in their play rooms? Yeah... I don’t have a dedicated play room. But I now have an incredibly active 2 year old and this thing is clutch! When she’s getting out of control I can pop this thing up as a novelty and occupy her for more than 15 minutes. This may not sound like much for those of you who do not yet have toddlers but let me tell you. It’s a miracle. When she’s bored of it? I collapse it down to less than 2 feet flat and put it away. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this to take with me on a week-long trip to the beach. I traveled by airplane, so I couldn't bring my beach umbrella; and I didn't want to pay to rent the expensive umbrellas at the beach. It served its purpose (just barely), but ultimately I was disappointed with this product. I was ecstatic that it was small enough to fit in my large suitcase and that I could take it with me; but once I got there and opened it up in my hotel room to test it out, I wasn't able to fold it back up without it getting severely bent each time I tried to put it back in the case. I tried following the instructions... I even watched several YouTube videos on how to do it. But I couldn't get it back in properly without bending it out of shape. It got so bent that I was only able to use it if I put heavy items like my beach bag along the inside edges, to keep it from collapsing. It survived this trip, but I'm disappointed because I don't think I will get my money's worth and be able to use it for future trips.

This is much bigger that I expected which I love. It's pretty hard to get back in the back because the directions are useless but you can figure it out by just folding it the way it wants to go, just takes a few tries. I wish the mesh went up a little higher for more air flow. It does get warm with no breeze and with a breeze it wants to lean over. With enough stuff in it to weigh down the corners it's a great tent.

We recently took this on a trip to Hawaii and it worked great for keeping our baby out of the sun. It was super easy to set up, it took a few tries to figure out how to fold it back up but once we figured it out it wasn’t bad. It was a little bigger than I expected but it still fit easily in our luggage for the trip. The mesh on the back gave a nice breeze but I still used a portable fan to keep it from getting too hot in there. It gave ample space for baby, me, and all our stuff. He napped and nursed in the tent and it made our beach days so much easier. It even stayed up on a very windy beach day which impressed me! A great purchase!

The media could not be loaded. Extremely easy my 3 year old can put it up on her own and help put it down. Great carrying case to hold tent in and it has handles for easy carrying!!! Material appears to be very durable. Pockets inside are neat idea to hold items that you don't want to get dirty or wet.I love how simple it is. I took the 1 piece tent out of the bog and with 1 hand popped it open. (I did not need the stacks, as my kids jumped in right away)Putting away is just as easy! It's simple, pay attention when folding it up, the tent pushes you the right way. Fold the extra material in the corners and twist opposite ends. Tent does all the work.I would purchase again and recommend to all my friends.

Great for beach! Easy to set up and put away. There is a mesh window that can be opened or closed that provides a nice breeeze. It stayed cool in the tent due to the fabric. I bought the blue and it had some kind of reflective material inside. Stacks come with the tent so that it doesn't blow away. Tent was well made and I don't have any complaints. My kids would like to us set up in their room for fun too.
