WILL THE TENT FIT MY CHILD?Our Shady Baby Tent is designed to be both strong and lightweight, making it perfect for travel. It is suitable for children from 0+ years with no upper age restriction, though some features may be limited for older children. Coverage: Up to 12 years: The tent can accommodate most children up to 12 years old, providing coverage for the head, neck, shoulders, chest, back, and stomach. However, it may not cover the entire body of taller children. Leg Exposure: For exposed legs, we recommend applying SPF50 sunscreen and using suitable coverings. Stability: The tent is designed to prevent roll-offs, but effectiveness may vary based on the child's size and the weight of the sun lounger. Our Shady Baby Tent ensures that your little ones stay protected and comfortable during their outdoor adventures.
