I love this tent!  I bought it to take on a trip to the beach. The description does say it is UV protected but I have heard mixed things on this fact. My son is 9 months so I applied sunscreen as well as used the tent. I purchased a battery powered fan to help with the airflow during the summer and put it outside of the tent. I also put a few heavier toys in the corners both for play and to help with the tent as it seemed to be light and I didn't want it to blow away. For the price of the tent you can't expect it to be perfect but it assembles in less then 5 minutes and it is small and lightweight and easily stored in the vehicle so you have it when you need it.
