Beach tent for baby

loverofnaps

Anyone have a recommendation for type or brand of beach tent? I bring the older kids to the beach often in the summer and want something that's easy to fold up and lug around. Thanks

I've not used it, but the Peapod looks amazing.

We have this one.  It is big enough I can sit in it with the kids.  I like it, but it is a bit of a pain to set up.

Both have good reviews and seem user friendly.

That Pacific Breeze one looks amazing.

Aside from protecting against wind, is there an advantage to using this instead of an umbrella? We have an umbrella and I'd like just to use that if I can.

They also protect from sand blown by the wind.  There's nothing wrong with using an umbrella.

We got it instead of an umbrella because I think it gives more coverage (one arm is hanging outside the umbrella and gets burned, pale person problems).  Also if the sun moves while baby is napping you do not need to worry. And it blocks flying sand from people walking by.

They also provide you a little more coverage of you BF. I borrowed one from a friend a few years ago. It was great bc I could sit inside it BF LO then lay her down for a nap in it.
