We decided to buy this tent last minute before our recent beach trip. I couldn't be happier that we did!! It was SO nice to have as a little escape for little ones on the beach. I'll admit my 7 month old wasn't able to nap for more than a few minutes in there, but that wasn't a surprise based on his sleep habits at home. He did really enjoy having a nice, comfortable, sand-free place to play with his toys though. Even my 3 & 5 year olds went in for a few little breaks from the beach action. One of my main worries in ordering this tent was that it would be a pain to pack in our checked luggage for our flight - it folds up SO small. I think someone in a review mentioned "about the size of a loaf of bread" - exactly! And probably no heavier than bread either! It assembles with the simple two criss-crossed poles, much like other play tents we have at home. The mesh screens seemed to keep the sand out even on a super windy Florida day. We did put small coolers in there with the baby as an extra safety measure, so he didn't take flight in the wind. On a normal day I think a baby's weight would be fine. All in all, can't recommend enough, especially for a beach trip!
