HABA Play Tent Caro-Lini

We have this inour livingroom so we have a place for our daughter to play on the main floor (her playroom is on the second floor) We keep little storage bins in it to store her books and little toys and puzzles. We strung white battery powered lights through the top and it is beautful. She has a place to play in the livingroom and we dont have to look at a pile of ugly toys. It is very durable even despite her hanging out the window. Definitely worth the price for the quality and appearance vs the cheap plastic ones. I think this could be passed down to the next generation. It's THAT good.

This is a high-quality indoor tent that is sturdily constructed, safe, soft, beautiful and will last a lifetime. My 26 month old daughter adores it, and often plays in it with her friends, including a 9 year old and occasionally I hop in. (It's a tight squeeze for me and the 9 year old, so I would recommend it more for the toddler set.) I contacted Haba before purchasing this tent because I wanted one that wasn't loaded with flame retardant chemicals, which nearly all others on the market are. Haba's tents do NOT have flame retardants in them, but are intrinsically retardant by nature of the construction of the fabric (polyester)--meaning, they do not add flame retardant chemicals like the other children's play tent companies do. (This tent also had absolutely no funky odor upon opening, and was very clean and easy to assemble.) Yes, it is higher priced than others, but for me it was worth the extra investment in my child's health and well-being, and my own peace of mind. (Flame retardants are carcinogenic and disrupt the endocrine/hormone system--kids get enough of that everywhere else.) I am grateful to Haba for this. In general we love this tent, and I am sure it will last for many years. It has withstood some rough play over the past 6 months! I docked one star for a couple reasons. The cone at the top does not sit and lie as pictured. It is a separate piece that is (supposed to be) hollow on the inside with velcro to attach it to the top peak of the tent, which is also velcro. The cone is far too overstuffed with filling, so that it will not actually cover the velcro, thus barely sticks and instead teeters sideways with both the white velcro inside it visibly turning inside out and leaves both that and the velcro on top of the tent showing. This is a cosmetic flaw, not structural, but still imperfect and somewhat disappointing, nonetheless. I also am not the biggest fan of the neon green colored top. Lastly, as others have mentioned, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fold up the way it was when it arrived and get it back into its tiny circular velcro storage bag. Hilariously frustrating. I consider myself pretty intelligent and common-sensical, and it took both myself and my equally smart, constrcustion-savvy hubby nearly an hour to figure it out (the bare-bones picture instructions are a joke, and are flawed/incorrect/incomplete/incomprehensible), where upon we both broke into a sweat during our several expletive-filled attempts and then finally shoved it in, bending the bottom ring in the process. (It is not an intuitive process, as you would think it would be.) So I recommend leaving it out as long as you can or storing it in a big closet with the poles out (they have their own bag), because parents do not have an extra hour to be foldin' up play tents and losing their minds in the process! LOL. Otherwise, we love this tent. We also purchased the seriously unnecessary and overpriced (tiny!) pillow and die-cut box, which was quite indulgent of us.

So, obviously the dimensions of the tent are on the product description but it still surprised me how small this tent was especially the vertical height. It is well made and extremely cute but doesn't look like a $150 tent. Easy to put together. Would be great for a smaller home (like mine). Folds up nicely. If you are even a relatively tall adult and plan on getting into the tent with your little one, maybe go with something bigger.

I have yet to find a HABA toy that my child doesn't love. This tent has kept her entertained for hours on end. Her reaction to the tent was simply priceless and I'm glad I had the video camera on. The tent is perfect and in Germany the age restrictions are laxer than here. On the box it said appropriate for 1.5 year olds. My daughter is 23 months young and I'd say the perfect age to play in the tent, of course with supervision. My husband is 6ft tall and he also joined her for a tea party so there's plenty of room inside this cute tent. The colors are also vibrant and sweet. Was able to set up the tent quickly with no need to air it out. Highly recommend this HABA tent!

Ok...where to start. I really love this tent. It's adorable, unique and my 14 month old girl has fun in it. It's by far the prettiest playtent that I've seen. It's definitely durable. The fabric is thick and the tent poles add stability. Was it worth the money...? Don't think so. I can't for the life of me figure out why this thing is so expensive. The only thing I can say is that my daughter literally climbs in and out of the window, and it doesn't look like the fabric is going to give out anytime soon. However, the tent flips easily. I was really disappointed to find out the pillow was not included, as it is shown in the picture. False advertisement, Amazon. Im a huge Amazon fan but this kind of stuff annoys me. It should not be pictured if it is not included, and I would have felt much better about spending this much moolah if the cute pillow had atleast come with it. It's also much shorter than I thought it would be. 14 month old hits her head every time she tries to walk into it. There was an adorable Circo tent from target for $30 that I bought my niece, and it does just as well as this tent. Unfortunately they are out at target stores, as well as online, otherwise that's what my little girl would have as well. SOO anyways, yes the tent is cute, yes it seems to be good quality, Amazon shipping is always quick. This was my daughter's only christmas present, so I'm not returning it, but I do think the price is outrageous, and I was expecting much more. As in, a much taller tent with a pillow. LOL thank god my hubby didn't ask how much this thing was...

Very cute, and my daughter that is 2 1/2 loves it, but it's very hot and there is not much ventilation!! I hate going in there!! It's much smaller than I expected too!! Wish it was taller!! Other than that, it's well made and super cute!!

Bought this for my granddaughter's 1st birthday. She watched us put it together (very easy). She watched Grandpa go in and she crawled right in. A few minutes later 15 kids arrived for the birthday party. The tent was the most used toy in the room. It was rolled, flipped and abused all afternoon! If a toy can survive that day I know we will get many years of fun out of it. Very well made, easy to assemble and very cute! I refused to buy the pillow accessory for $52. Bought 2 pillows at Homegoods for $10 each.

Bought this for my toddler's second birthday a month ago. She absolutely loves hiding in it. Actually, her two older brothers, 8 and 11, love hiding in it too! There isn't much educational value to it, obviously, but I believe that when she's older it may promote fun studying, and reading habits. I also receive a lot of compliments about the tent being so cute! Extremely easy to put together. I did receive the tent with a small defect in it. One of the pockets, that the tent poles sit in at the top of the tent to hold it together, wasn't sewn together properly and the pole went right through it. The tent comes with a warranty, so I could have easily sent it in to be fixed, but I didn't want to wait when I could just sew it together myself. Other than that, it's held together extremely well. I wanted this tent, being cloth and great reviews on durability, because my little girl is rougher than my two older boys! It's been jumped on many times, and pops right back up. I've inspected the threading and it doesn't seem to have any weak spots from the wear and tear... so far! I really think the tent was worth the money, even with the small defect.

KIDS LOVE IT, VERY GOOD QUALITY, EASY TO ASSEMBLE.
