As a family of 6, with 4 kids under 4 years old and under. We go to the beach almost everday in summer. And if we're not at the beach, we're playing in the sun in the backyard or at the park!
So finding the right beach tent for us has been tricky. I searched high and low for these qualities in a Beach Tent:
1. Aesthetic. Was my number one priority - i'm a bit of a princess when it comes to accessories, and i like them to look GOOD. I couldn't settle for those ugly blue tents you buy from Kmart. Why are ALL tents BLUE?! Even camping tents. Blue. Everything is blue. So I had to come up with something way nicer.
2. It had to be SIMPLE. One step one. Done. Finding a one step pack up would be pretty hard and I don't think it exists, if it does, let me know. But this super simple Beach Tent is packed up in under 25 seconds in 6 easy to follow steps. We provide a step-by-step video for all tent users to follow to make sure they're packing up their tent in the most quick and easy way. The Dunes Shade Tent isn't like those ones we all have PTSD from our childhood beach tents where you parents would end up in divorce over folding up a beach tent. Nope, the dome shape allows for easy packing. It literally folds in 3 ways and it's done.
3. LIGHTWEIGHT. An essential when you have multiple young kids and have to pack half your belongings to leave the house. When you're carrying a beach bag with toys, towels, snacks and water. You need the beach tent to be light-weight and easy to carry. Not a super long and heavy umbrella or cabana! Nope chuck them out. This small circular shape with a thick arm strap weighs under a kilo - you wouldn't even know its hanging over your shoulder!
4. Sand Resistant - an essential, because when you go to the beach with kids, atleasy 16kg of sand comes home with us! So the fabric of our tent allows for the sand to slide straight off!
5. Waterproof. We use our tent all the time. Even in the backyard in the rain. Plus when we're at the beach, toddlers are incontrollable, and don't understand you should dry yourself first before sitting down on a towel or the tent. So the Dunes Shade Tent is completely waterproof and the water slides straight off!
6. SPF 50+ ofcourse. We live in Australia, and we all know about the Ozone Layer hole. So ensuring our kids are protected from the harsh UV rays, an essential was a product that was UV Safe and made from UV protectant materials. The Dunes Shade Tent is SPF50+ and the perfect Beach Essential for your Simple Summer with kids.
