I would recommend doing as much research as you can and going to a display where you can take a look in the flesh. Dont think about what you need now but what you'll need in the future when the kids are bigger so you dont have to buy again. Things to think about:
1. Layout - you need a family tent that is 2 berths bigger than your family. So if there are 2 of you then you need 4 berths. Older kids might appreciate bedrooms around a central living areas (vis a vis) younger kids bedrooms next to each other. If your kids are of the same sex theyll be fine in a bedroom pod together so you only need 2 bedroom areas - different sexes you may want 3 separate areas. I know it sounds complicated but go take a look, get a feel for what you want. Talk to friends who camp.
2.size of your car - it has to get you, kids, tent, equipment, food, etc to the campsite. You dont want to have to buy a new car to get all your camping stuff in (you may laugh but a lot of people on this forum's choice of car is decided by their camping habit).
3. Midges and bad weather - you'll want a reasonable living area, sew-in groundsheet and the option of mesh panels on some doors and windows to let air in and keep midges out.
3.air v. poled tent. Tents with poles aren't that much harder to pitch and are a lot cheaper - so you can a better quality tent (better fabric, more features) for the same money.
Take a look, get a feel, but you still might not get it right first time ......
