what is the quality of the zippers? I bought a similar tent from BestPet and the zipper to the side door broke in 2 days.

Only used this tent for a short time for a senior dog to sleep in. We always lifted him over into the tent so never used the side zippers. Bottom and top zippers are very sturdy and felt it was well worth the money.

The zippers are heavy duty. I have had no problems with the play pen. I have kept my two kittens in it everyday for months. They like to sleep in it for their naps. They love to play under it and around it but have not damaged it. They cannot get out unless you leave the zipper slightly unzipped. It is easy for them to push the zippers if the are not completely together at the top of the cage.

this pet play pen from Amazon is great. The zippers are fine, much like tent zippers. We foster kittens often and it is holding up nicely. It helps to put a blanket on the floor so you can whisk it into the washer. I hope this helps

I keep the door closed - so I don't really use it -subsequently would be difficult to give you adequate feedback

I have this product and so far the zippers seem fine, no problems. Time will tell, I guess.

I had bought the "Best" pen and the zipper broke too. I bought the 38" one shown above with regular zipper and have had great luck.... it is taller and better quality...my dog is safer....

The top of mine has zipper issues. Since I only use it for my 5 pound dogs, it's not a big deal ... but I am very disappointed that the zippers failed the first weekend out.

The "small parts" are the locking drawstring on the storage bag and the tent's door zipper. If either of them were to break off, then they could be considered a choking hazard. However, my girls have been playing with this tent for over two summers and we've had no issues. It's a very well-made tent! We even set it up for a friend's 18 month old, and he loved it.I think your two year old would be fine.

It has both. The door has zippers on the right side and bottom then you have a mesh section that has zippers on both sides. Is a great and easy setup tent. We have 2 and we set them up most of the in the dark. It takes about a minute to setup once you are use to it.

It's easy. I returned it though. The zippers are junk and broke on first use.

It's a great tent! There is a zipper. It only has a slight amount of see through when it's in the sun.

Yes it does. The zipper to close the doors are my main gripe. Very hard to zip at certain points, almost to a point of ripping. Other than that, the tent held up well for NY State October camping.

Heavy Grey Nylon... Like a heavy duty tarp that is coated. I too put a tarp below it but not because I do not think it will hold up. I try to keep my camping gear as new as possible so that I can use them for years to come. I have no zipper problems. I have put glow in the dark zipper pulls on all zippers for easy use. Not sure if that made a difference or not. I have not used the canopy feature since Ive owned it. Wish it was over the doors instead. Love this tent!

I have not had a problem with mine and I've had it for several years. The shelter is made pretty well and is of the same quality as many camping tents. Set up and take down is a snap.

our tent poles were easy to put together, but snapped after about a week. the our generation company replaced them immediately though and we have had no problems with it since.

The door is a great design, and we had no problems with conflicts with the rain flap. But there is a cloth overhang that does sometimes slip in between the door and the side of tent. (Perhaps that is what you mean by rain flap, I'm not sure. I'm interpreted it as the rain fly.) That said, I would buy a different tent. We lost the poles and Coleman, while still making this tent and selling it for full price, no longer has replacement poles for it.

I haven't been too rough with mine, but the thing is pretty tough. However, the plastic zippers on the side pockets almost immediately tear off. The main pocket has metal zippers, and those are tough as nails. I've had mine for a bit over a year now, and besides the zippers on the sides coming off within about 2 weeks of purchasing it, it's still as if it's brand new. As long as you don't mind using the side zippers from the metal base that lays on the tracks, this thing probably won't fall apart on you. As far as space goes, I've fit 4 pairs of shorts, 4 shirts, a towel, a blender bottle, a pair of shoes and some miscellaneous hygiene products with a little room to spare.

I'm sorry to get back to you so late. never saw this email. This tent is cute but very small. perhaps suitable for a ferret or tiny dog. Was too small for my Miniature Pinscher. Hope this helped you.

Our tent is not up right now but as I remember it there are 3 windows (two front & one back) with flaps that open and stay open with velcro if needed. Yes they can sleep in it. No zippers. The opening on the front (the pink door) has a flap on each side for a child to crawal though with velcro to hold it open or shut.

I have noted that with most tents that give numbers of persons sleeping in the tents are sandwiched for sleeping purposes only and take little concernfor gear or accessories. I am using this tent(Swisse Sport 6) for two and gear so it fits my needs.I do have an issue with the front door leaking because the tent fly does not reach out further in front and rain runs down the front to the bottom zipper area. Sealant did not cure this problem.other than that it's not a bad tent. probably wouldn't purchase another though for that reason. Sorry for running on but I needed to get it off my chest! Thanks.

I almost answered the question wrong! Just spent a week living in the tent at Yosemite, and would have said "no". The tent door closes with some velcro, and some clever overlapping ~2" canvas covering the edge of the door, so any rain slides down the outside. Never had any reason to use the zipper, so forgot it is there! (Note: the entrance through the vestibule has a full panel screen that zips completely closed, and a full panel 'solid' that zips from top to bottom, but is open at the bottom.)

For week long backpack trip it might be a bit heavy, but for a 1-2 day trip it is fine. Have backpacked with heavier tents, so for the money you can't get much better.
