This has been a life saver for us while we visit the beach each year. One year our oldest to sick on our trip and we were able to have her lie down inside this shelter. She was protected from the wind, able to stay warm and be out of the sun while she relaxed and still enjoyed being on the beach. It’s also been a great place to put our babies when they’ve been little to keep them protected from the elements and prevent them from eating sand. I highly recommend this to anyone who spends time outside and has kids! It’s big enough to fit adults, as well, and I have used it to get a break from the wind. Great product!
