Hi all

I'm looking for a large pop up tent... Preferably standing room with a double skin. I have seen the 'Gelert mega quickpitch' which is 2m high at the front, but sadly only single skinned and with no windows at all...   At £50 its not bad I suppose for the ease of putting it up.
I do have 5 tents already... its just me and my 6 year old child, so I'm always looking for something easy to pitch. I can pitch tents easily enough, but I'm tired of poles and so I'm looking for the ultimate take-out-of-the-bag-and-hey-presto-up-it-pops kind of tent. Can anyone recommend something?
As mentioned, I do have my eye on the Mega Quickpitch, and there is of course Quechua tents which are starting to get a bit pricey for something reasonably tall. And there is another brand called the CINCH tent, but it would be over £180 if they were in stock. Too much for me and my tent collecting habit I'm afraid.
Can anyone else think of another option I'm not aware of? (I'm looking at 3 - 4 man, or you simply don't get the height...)
Any suggestions and recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks

Single parent with a small child, braving the wild (campsites) and putting up tents on my own. How clever!

This weekend I'll be using my Decathlon Quechua Base Seconds with the extra inner you buy, going to a festival and it's a handy one to carry. It is a bit more of an investment but when I go camping with another tent I take the Base Seconds to use as a utility tent. I also take it to the beach as a changing tent, and when the wind picked up two of us sat inside with the door open looking out at the open sea. It's such an adaptable tent I really think it's a good, flexible use buy.
