Not going to recommend a tent but I recommend a revisit on your basic requirements - you may find a fibreglass pole tent or a single pole tent to be better.
We like bedrooms to be separate - as in feet apart - if you have 3 kids plus yourselves sleeping in the same space are you actually going to get any sleep or privacy? Does that matter to you? Do you want a porch? 3 kids wet weather...... Also, with the kids, would blackout rooms help?
Air tents can be very - and I mean very - heavy (youll need AT LEAST a 6 man, we have an 8 man for 3 of us :-) ) - especially as they usually come in 1 bag, you may find it easier to have a pole tent. Even with an airbeam you still need to peg it out, and getting them down and folding them up can be difficult on your own. Also, make sure than spares for the airbeam are easily available, and avoid single point of fill tents as if you get a hole the whole thing collapses.
SIGS are pretty much the default on family tents of the GoOutdoors (etc) variety.
Strongly recommend you see them put up in store or at least watch a bucketload of youtube videos.
I'm assuming your budget isnt into the thousands so probably worth looking for a deal (tent, ground tarp, carpet, porch), if you go for a generic Vango, HiGear etc you wont go far wrong for your money. We like Kampa - just that little bit better without messing up cashflow.
