hi! I was hoping to have a sleepover with 6, 12 year olds, is there enough room for all of them with their sleeping bags? or should I go for the 8 pp?

I would go with the 8 person. This one might be kinda tight with 6 12 year olds.
318435
a little bit small for 6 ppl. But it is cozy and warm if you go for 6pp. The bigger the tent, the colder in the night................................................

I'd say you SHOULD be able to get 6 young folks in there assuming the only equipment is sleeping bags and nothing else. But even then it will probably be crowded. So depends on how much space you want them to have!!

I agree with other responses. Go with a larger tent for the numbers you're speaking of. (6) 12 year olds is very doable, but best to have a little extra room for moving about.

I am 5 foot 10 inches and the regular sized sleeping bag is just the right fit, with plenty of room for the feet. I would recommend you order the next size up for someone 6 feet tall, I think they call it XL size. You will need to order two bags of the same size, one with a left handed zipper and one with a right handed zipper, so they can be zipped together. It won't matter if one bag is a bit big for you, it will still be very warm and comfortable. I found this bag very good value for the money and comparable to sleeping bags that sell for 4 times the price in camping stores. Also this bag can be washed if needed, unlike the down filled bags which are very difficult to maintain.

I sit inside with the 3 kids and read stories and that is spacious enough for 2 more kids around 3-4. sometimes my 3 children sleep in it. it fits a single mattress yet there is around 40 cm uncovered by the mattress , however the rest of the mattress is sticking out. My son is is around 140cm and his legs are out of the tent :-) but my 5 and 7 year old fit perfectly inside when they want to sleep in.

If you only have people, you might be able to get 6 in it. If you have clothing and sleep items, I would only plan on 4. If you have small children, maybe 6 would fit.

I'm 6-4 and my sleeping bag fit into the bag. I would not put the sleeping pad into the bag. It can be straped on the outside. Remember this is a medium size bag. The interior will hold 2 shirts, 1 pants, 2 underwear and 2 socks. Food for 5 days ( depends on what you eat). Rain jacket, emergency tarp, first aid kit, hygiene kit both 6x4 inches. 1 person tent or hammock, rain fly, straps and rope. Alcohol stove, ultra light pot w lid. Side pockets hold water treatment, alcohol fuel, lighter, maps, snacks, spoon or spork, etc. Top storage has twice as much room as side pockets. Bottom has rain cover which comes with the pack. There are lots of places to tie down your sleeping pad, hiking poles, what ever. I bought mine to use on the Appalachian Trail. I have 30lbs of stuff which I hope to get down to 25lbs. I had a larger pack- 6000 cu in. but when you are hiking 544 miles weight is a factor. If you are car camping or just hiking to a camp site and not moving for a week go with a larger pack. You can bring more stuff. Some thru hikers have packs with less cu in to save weight. I am not in a hurry so if I get tired I will rest and enjoy the scenery. I did buy a compression bag for my sleeping bag. It was tight w/o compression bag. My sleeping bag came with just a stuff sack. It ddin't compress the sleeping bag so I went with a compression bag. Yours may be smaller or larger than my sleeping bag. Mine is a synthetic fill rated to 20 but I think it is only good to 30. That is from years of use at different temps. I may need a new bag. Even 30 degrees is to cold for me these days. Hope this helps. Happy trails, Dave

My wife and I are both rather big (I am 260 lbs) and we both sleep on one of the bays together (Queen size air mattress a little big). We had two teens sleep in the other bay. This summer we got caught in a snow storm and sub freezing temperatures over two night with another family. This tent was off the ground and much warmer (being off the ground) and we put a tarp over it as well (snow and sleet on night 1). We actually had 8 in the tent that night with two adults and children on the floor. Stayed warm together. OK...hope that helps.

you can sleep more people in the main tent at least six with cots and still have room to walk around freely. I love this tent. with out cots and using the side partition easily 10 comfortably

I agree, you couldn't fit two children in there comfortably. It's the perfect size for my 2 year old (25 lbs), but if I tried to put her one year old brother in there it would be too crowded.

Two adults is comfortable with stuff in there. I think 4 adults is possible but gonna be tight end to end. Plus, all the stuff (backpacks and such) will be at the feet or at the head. 2 adults and 2 kids will probably fit but not a lotta room to move. How about I put it this way? I actually use this tent for me and the significant other and when I had to bring two kids along? I bought them another 4 person one.

Hello, I am 6' and 225 lbs. I fit in it with just a little room to spare with all the pieces together. There is plenty of room with just the patrol bag and bivey bag put together, the cold weather bag zips into all of these and gets a little smaller. It may be snug but I think it will work for you,. It is a mummy bag so there's not supposed to be a lot of room. Hope this helps

I think you could safely let up to 4 kids in the tent. It is quite large. It depends on the children of course but I do think 4 would fit with no problem.

I'm sure you've already taken your trip, but here's what I think, in case it helps someone else. I assume you'll have the 2 year old rearfacing, especially since you're traveling at what I assume will be highway speeds. I would put them on one side of the back row in a Britax Boulevard or Advocate. It depends how big your 6 year old is, but probably something like a Graco Nautilus on the other side of the back seat. The 8 year old can be in a low back booster in the middle of the back seat and you should be able to access both side seats still. The 12 and 14 year old don't need boosters anymore and can go in the captains chairs, but could also switch out with the 8 year old. Hope this helps someone.

I think two would fit. I can't say for sure but its definitely big enough for my four yr old and her friends to lay down in.

We just used sleeping bags, so it's difficult to say. Maybe a twin? The center room has plenty of space, but the two rooms on either end are much smaller. The room dividers could probably be lifted slightly to accommodate a larger mattress if necessary.

I'd say 4 four year olds could lay down in it with slumber bags. On Christmas day, my son, daughter-in-law and 2 1/2 year old grandson and his new toys took a nap in it. The adults had to lay diagnally.
