Does anyone know of a pop-up tent that will repack into it's carry bag easily?

I have tried the Gelert Quickpitch ss ( bought from Halfords) but couldn't fold it back into the required shape to fit back into it's bag. Even the shop assistants couldn't get it in.

Has anyone got another type that will fold down easily? They pitch instantly which is brilliant when you have impatient/hungry children who aren't in the mood for helping but I need it to go back in it's bag because otherwise it takes up too much space in the car. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi
My son has got a Gelert QuickPitch SS, and we used this video.
Watched it and practised a couple of times before we went away, no probs at all getting it back into the bag, was very pleased with the tent indeed.
Hope it helps

Suns and Sprocket, thanks for that. I've now looked at both videos and have been able to pack it away into the carry bag. It was very easy once shown. Halfords should give this info out at the point of sale rather than buyers having to trawl the net. Thank goodness you were out there.

We had a laugh at a tent display watching the sellsman trying to pack away a pop up tent which he was demonstrating how easy it was to pitch.  It ended up with two people spending about 20 minutes twisting and turning before they finally got it packed up
