We are vacationing in Florida this summer, I want to get a beach tent for my toddler. He will probably end up taking a nap while we're at the beach. Do you have any suggestions? Everything I look at seems to be either too small (baby size), not enough ventilation, or people say it gets super hot inside. I'm hoping to spend under $50, but open to suggestions a little over that too.
Any recommendations? Especially those that live in warm/beach climates?
which I think might be the same as the pp...key things for us..I didn't want poles. It took us 2 or 3 times to get the hang of folding this but I was all set with poles, trying to secure it in the sand etc. Also, I'd get one that can open in the back as well. When we first used this, we had the back closed and it got so hot and warm in the tent. I like that the back unzips and allows for air to circulate. We would just throw the cooler or something heavy in there to keep it from blowing around.
We have the Coleman beach tent, Uv protection of 50. And it's quite spacious my DH, dog and I fit in with room to spare. (I've used it with my 2 nephews and they love it) We spent more than 50, it was about 80 dollars. Just saw your post - re already ordered one! Hope you have fun at the beach this year!

We have this one. It sets up easy and has pockets around the bottom to fill with sand to weigh down.

It is spacious and has good ventilation. It is also lightweight and compact to carry. Setup is quick and easy too.
