The Juno is quick to pitch and would be fine for what you're thinking of.

Also check out the Quechua 4.2, it might be a bit of a squeeze for the third child but that depends on how small they are too.

I have the Vango Green Tee 500 which is basically the Juno 500 with a porch.
It is very quick to put up, but not sure I would want to squeeze 5 people in it, even if it was just overnight!

Maybe look at the Juno 800 or Peace 800?

Hi there Bossyboot.

I've just bought a Decathlon (Quechua) Base Seconds pop-up (on sale at the moment) partly for doing overnights in France. They're designed to be linked together, so you could get a couple of them, link them up, and you'd have a really quick-erect, spacious, two bedroom tent (with no living room). We plan to use ours as a utility tent when we set up pitch with the big one. Twice as nice .

Victoria's suggestion of the 4.2 could work really well for you too. You do get a living room, although the bedrooms are smaller, particularly height-wise.

I hope this helps .
