We use them regularly. Easy to set up. We weight them down with sand or pebbles. Work great assuming you can get child to stay in them! Get a big one though (lidl often have then) rather than the kid sized ones which are very small.

Bloody pain in the arse to put down again though.

+1! I have had many an argument with the tent getting it back down! I nearly threw it out to sea one day but stubbornness made me keep at it! And then you get it down and it's as simple and you feel like a right eejit!

yes - i would suggest practising, practising, practising in your garden until you have it sussed. A windy beach is no place to try folding it back down for the first time!!
