Hmmmm If that one looks scary how about these? They are much easier to put up and should fit better on standard pitch sizes.

Hi Gear Zenobia 6 from Go Outdoors about the same price (but you wil have to check your local store as they are sold out online)

Or this one, Slightly smller but much easier to put up.....excellent reviews for this at around the same price. Really only suitable for 4 of you though. but you can add a base full for some extra living area once you start taking the baby camping and all sleep together in the main tent (kids either side and you in middle bit.)

Sorry, just realised you now have a budget....I'll start looking cheaper!! 17 

That outdoor revolution looks good, ask him what the reserve is, might be able to get it at a bargain as most people seem to steer clear of ones with a reserve.

If you are able to fit a large pack, some of the 5+ berth frame tents could be a bargain. A lot of people here recommend them and you have a good deal of space. if they are looked after you might get one that lasts for ages, and can then sell on if you find something more suitable or easier to take with you. They are really easy to set up and are dead cosy to stay in.

Hi Loopy,

Welcome to the world of camping, personally I would try and stick to well known brands of tents.. ie.. Vango, Outwell, Suncamp, Gelert Etc,etc

I can personally vouch for the Vango tents as I have 2 at the moment, one is a little 2 person tent for me when backpacking and the other which you can see pics of in my profile, which is currently up for sale as my Other half couldn't get into camping what so ever.

As many others have said, don't be affraid to ask for advice, as virtually everyone on here will be willing to assist.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Ian
