I would like to take my 3y old (and eventually his brother) for a night camping by myself. I like the look of the easy camp messina 400, it a dome tent with a porch, 2.40m (w), by 4.10, 1.80 m (h). being a short person, I'm concerned about whether i can pitch it singularly, has anyone pitched it by themselves. Or any recommendations or a reasonable size tent, looking for one with a porch area and not to low (i get claustrophobic).

thanks

I have an Aztec Galeria 6 for husband and 2 boys(5&7)and me. Good tent - OH can stand up, he's 6'2", and plenty of room all round. I can put this up myself (5'7" female). There is also a 4 berth version, which would be even easier, I suppose. No porch, but you can get front canopy.
