Without wishing to sound rude, my initial thought is "You'll be lucky"!!
Any 4 berth family tent (and most folk will advise you go 2 berths bigger than the number of inhabitants anyway!) worth it's salt will be around 3m x 4.8m, to include a sleeping area and separate living area, and offer full standing height to boot.
That is the size of our polycotton Kampa Frinton 4 Classic (Now discontinued), and I really wouldn't advise you go any smaller, for the well-being of the children, and the sanity of the parents!.
I can't relate the pack sizes off the top of my head, but would be more than happy to measure the bags (yes, plural... 1 x tent, 1 x poles) later this evening, after work>shopping>late tea.
I would certainly not describe either bag as a small pack size. That's always going to be a negative where polycotton tents are concerned (particularly when steel/alloy poles are added to the equation, as ours has).
Let's hope I'm talking complete tosh, and someone comes along with a more positive post, a more positive attitude, and more importantly, a specific tent recommendation... I'll be more than happy to apologise for my negativity, if that be the case!
I wish you luck.
