This cute tent pops up within 2 seconds when taken out from the carrying bag. Very easy to fold back. The supporting pole is very flexible. It’s made of elastic material so it can withstand lots of bending for years. A baby or a todler can play with water inside when the small pool is filled. A good choice for both baby and parents to have a good family time by the sea. It can also be used for other things. Indoors, backyards, parks, beaches and lakes. Big helper for dads and moms who love to watch their baby play.
