I suggest you take a bucket/portaloo for when you realise you/kids need to go and cannot face walking across the field.....

might be better to get the portaloo delivered directly to site though as it may be a struggle to get it in a car

Definitely recommend a fishing bed if you have room to carry as bit bulky, we were fed up with airbeds always deflating and last year invested in two JRC bedchairs. We also purchased the sleeping bag that straps onto the bed, result good comfy and toasty nights sleep.

My vote goes to the bedchair and sleeping bag option too..Best(level on any surface) nights sleep I have ever had since I started using one...As stated by others...a bit bulky in the packing stakes...But well worth it if you can fit them in...
Should add I don't have transport at the mo...So hire a van (Anything from a Berlingo to a Transit) when I go camping....So no real problem for me packing bedchairs...
One thing I would advise...Is take your time over whatever bit of kit you settle on...There is a tendency(By most of us)to rush into a spending spree when we are full of info/tips/advice furnished by the good folk on here when we ask questions on camping related matters...
Remember....This is going to be your(and your family's) Camping experience..Not mine nor anyone else's on here offering advice....

on campsite. There is a good video on youtube by "Cross Camping" pitching a Filey 6 although not specifically for the Bear the principal is the same and many of us prefer this method to Outwells as large tents can be pitched by one person
