Can adults lay down in this tent to read to their child at night?

Yes, a small adult could. Might not be able to stretch out to the full length, but it does fit over a twin mattress. It would be about perfect for a cuddly spoon position. :)

It is twin size and the high point is in the middle where you can sit up. If you want to lay down to read you'll need a flashlight. We hung a tiny coleman lantern at the middle high point.

I have not tried to get into the tent yet but I don't think it would be a problem. The opening/door is big enough for an adult to enter.

it is large enough for the plan toys adults to lay in or the children. My granddaughter wanted more beds so everyone would have somewhere to sleep!

I have this tent and love it! I have my children sleep in the back of the suv on an air mattress. The lights in most cars eventually go off. Try leaving your doors open for a while and see before you buy.

Absolutely - I am a 52 year old Mom and I can get this up in about 7-8 minutes going slowly. It takes longer to stake the guidelines out than to get the tent up LOL. I have a 7 year old who then helps me get a huge tarp over the top (we camp in Florida, like the shade and extra rain protection of a tarp)...we LOVE this tent.

I would agree with J Dugan. A seven year old will fit in it to sit down. If you are looking for a small cozy place to read etc, it would be ok. Personally I think it would be tight with a few seven yer olds in it.

There is room for a queen sized air mattress and a sleeping bag. My family of four can fit in there fairly comfortably (two young kids and an adult on the air mattress, one adult on the sleeping bag), but it may get tight as the kids get older. I'm sure 4 adults in sleeping bags is possible if they're all turned sideways, but you'd be stepping all over each other getting in and out.

The Jardin 4x4 tent is so easy to set up a child could do it. Once you get the tent up there is a center area to hang the light and the fan was also a breeze (do pun intended) also. Make the leap and buy, you will not be sorry. I now have 2 working side by side and I do not regret the decision.

I personally found it a little tight with 2 adults, especially with big, winter sleeping bags. Also, with 2 people the inside tends to build moisture on the tent material which you may find annoying.

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.

I would definitely say I could read a book with this in the tent anywhere and it wouldn't even have to be on the brightest setting. But something like "comfortably read" is very subjective depending on your quality of eye sight. I have 20/20 vision and I'm fairly young so I have no idea how this would be for some one that was say 60 years old and using reading glasses. I don't know where you are at on that spectrum but hopefully this gives you an idea to judge for yourself.

Yes you can. Sun still gets through the window and will make the child uncomfortable.

Yes, it can. It's very comfortable to use while lying in bed, even lying on your side. Both hard cover and paper backs fit very well, and the plastic thing to hold the pages in place is effective.

Yes. My 18 year old daughter uses this tent for privacy and can sit up and watch tv comfortably.

For a small person or kid yes. The sofa folds out to a more suitable sleeping arrangement for adults.

I don't think so. The cot is not wide enough and I doubt you would be able to get a reasonable night's sleep without being able to move some. You might be able to fit an adult and a small child on it, but neither would be able to move much all night.

I'm going to say no. We bought a double cot to keep us off of the ground, it's not quite a queen size, and it's hard to get it in the tent. We have just enough room on the sides to sit and put your shoes on. But, we love the tent, glad we bought it!

Yes of course. It's not something to sleep in on say a camping trip, but maybe sitting or napping on the beach, it's great. I'm 5'4" and I sit and play in it with my 2 year old. It's great for indoor rainy day play too!
