Hi All

My first post here and am looking for a little advice...

I'd like to start taking my 3-year old camping every now and again around local campsites (East Sussex area). It'll only be 1 night at a time. Since it'll only be me pitching the tent (with a little 'help' from the toddler), I'm after a 2/3 berth tent that is easy to put up on my own, but it also needs to be nice enough not to put him off on the first night :)

It doesn't need to be huge as we'll have the car for storage, but it would be nice to be able to sit up comfortably in it.

Any ideas? I've seen some pop-up tent reviews, but I'd appreciate some opinions.

Thanks,
Brett

Thanks for the reply, Dave.

I will take a look at your suggestions. Sitting on the floor is fine. Would it be possible to put up a 5-man tent on my own? This is pretty much top-priority, because it'll just be me and an excitable 3-year old.

I plan to use a thin blow-up bed and sleeping bags, as long as there's room.

I'll definately be buying a waterproof all-in-one, then - thanks :)

The Coleman Instant looks like a decent little tent, if budget will allow! I now want one (but have neither the need, the room nor the money...)

They're showing as out of stock online, but googling found a few others at around the £130-140 mark.
