Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-07-06 Nice shady spot for a baby's nap We purchased the Coleman Road Trip Beach Shelter for our Hilton Head vacation. It was easy to set up and take downs as it folds into a small pouch - stayed put in the wind and gave us plenty of protection from sun, wind and sand especially for naps for our 6 month old! It had plenty of room for a couple of adults, also. Highly recommended. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-23 Great beach tent but hard to get together in the wind This beach tent was really easy to put together when there was little to no wind. During a windy day at the beach, it really takes more than 1 person to put together because it catches the wind and wants to take off. Other than that it was great for the beach to keep my wife, baby, and I out of the sun. With the front open, 3-4 adults can lay inside easily. With the front closed, probably only 2 adults and a child can fit comfortably. Fabric and design seem to be high quality. For the price, it is a tough deal to beat! Rating:  Date: 2008-05-24 Truly Pleasurable Beach Experience Living in South Florida, the beachese are a part of life. With two little ones (2 and 5) and another on the way, the sun is a problem. This beach shelter is the solution.
First of all, I have to say this gets four stars instead of five for one simple reason-- the first time we tried this was a mess-- a comedic typical mess in retrospect but not a fun one on the hot sand under a hot sun with a 5 year old itching for the water and a 2 year old hating being on the sand and being hot. It also didn't help I was 8 months pregnant and my husband had to pretty much do it on his own with only guidance from me. I think the problem for us was we got confused between the window and the door. My husband got really frustrated and gave up on the thing. I calmly sat and looked the directions over, and played with the flapping fabric while he coated the kids in sunblock and realized our mistake. Once we figured that we had gotten things mixed up, it was up in about five minutes. And that is not an exagerration. The other mistake we made was we used the stakes instead of the sand bag method. Although the stakes worked for most of the tent, there was one corner that kept coming up and when I read through the instructions and saw the sand bag section, I fixed it and that was the end of that. Take down was really simple. The beach experience was awesome. My daughter and I spent most of the time in the comfy shade with the wind blowing through. I put up the wet clothes on the line inside, and hung up the bag with stuff in it. This shelter is a MUST even if you don't have little ones. It keeps your things out of sight, cool, and comfy. I am really glad we got it and that we stuck it out through the first attempt at set up. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-08 This is a GREAT product! I love getting out to the beach as much as time will permit and this little shelter has already allowed me to prolong my early season stays. It's light, easy to carry, and even easier to set up and break down. Even in the wind! It was also much larger than I imagined. Two people can easily zip the door up and comfortably turn in for a little nap. It's like having a little home right on the beach! Rating:  Date: 2007-10-22 Great Sun Protection. This product is great. It's very easy to assemble, and gives excellent protection from the sun. It's large enough for two adults to sit it, and our baby had a nice amount of room.
The only problem I noticed is that the threads along the floor seam are coming loose after one week of use. I don't know if the threads were like that when I opened the box. It could have been a defect or just low quality stitching. I'll probably give Coleman a call before I use it again.
Despite my minor problems I still really like the tent. |
