My son who is 20 months old started to play pretend. he would go under a table pretending it's a tent and take a toy with him. I found this tent to be well priced for a first tent for my son, and he loves Thomas. it snapped right open, and in 2 minutes was in his bedroom. i rearranged the toys scattered all over in the tent, and when he walked in the room, it was touching! he discovered it with amazement, and loved the characters.
Now every time someone comes over, he yells "thomas tent" and takes them to show them.
About some comments saying that it cannot hold 3 kids, it is true. if you go camping, and you know about tents, you would know that a tent that sleeps 4, usually only sleeps 2 people. that is how they measure tents, shoulder on shoulder i guess.
