Kwik Cabana II tent

I've just picked up this Pop up sun protection tent from Toymaster ~

Absolutely fantastic .. spread it out .. grab the two top strings - pull and its assembled !!... I now can't move in my front room ... but youngest has already had the best of fun with it - and 'Middlest' has already worked out ways to make it collapse 'accidently' on her brother :muted: !

Tomorrow we'll be doing a test run outside



Oh Toymaster website .. LOL .. Checkout the Characters at the bottom of each page - I have no idea what they are supposed to do - you can make them eat and it's eyes follow your cursor - Most amusing !!

Full details

Special offer £12.99 from Toymaster (July 2006) Normally £19.99 ~ I think !
Kwik Cabana II
Sun Stop'r
50+UPF

Does it come with tent pegs? Just thinking of the beach!! Tried the website but it appears to be 'down' tonight! I'll try again later!

Gasp :muted: you broke t'internet !!

It has 'Pockets' around the outer sides that you fill with sand if you want it grounded - Hadn't considered using it as a kite ???

There's also a recommendation that heavy objects are put into the inside corners of tent - Namely 3/4 of his bedroom !!!

Looks good but I have a different one, it is a pop up one and I think by Nivea - I can't check it as I have lent it to one of my families that was on holiday this week as I wouldn't be using it. It fold up in 2 seconds and fits into a circular bag not even as big as the one for the pop-up tunnels! Really easy to carry around on daytrips out, even on the train. You can use it with tent pegs in the garden or park and it has pockets for sand when on the beach. I got mine for about £7 on eBay!

Updated the links on this thread - Toymaster also have a new look website .. without the interactive animated footer images lol

We also need to get a new tent now, a gust of wind caught Ds & a friend off guard and they ended up rolling down the hill with it in our garden & broke one of the leg's top joint things !! ahh well .. does mean we wouldn't recommend it as a kite
