The Ultimate Checklist for Choosing a Family Tent. And Why Coody Could Change Your Camping Game.
Planning to buy a new tent for your family adventures? Before you hit that checkout button, here are six must-check points to ensure you’re picking the perfect one.
- How durable is the tent?
It’s not enough to choose a tent based only on its design.
Tents are exposed to wind, rain, sunlight, and repeated setups, so the durability of the materials is extremely important.
✅ What kind of fabric is used?
✅ How strong are the poles or frame?
✅ Is the tent skin resistant to mould and condensation?
✅ Are all connection points well-finished and sturdy?
- Is it made from safe, non-toxic materials?
A tent is another “home” for us.
When camping with children, the safety of the materials is especially important.
✅ Look for test results confirming no carcinogens or reproductive toxins
✅ Safe pH levels for skin contact
✅ Hypoallergenic dyes only
- Is it suitable for all four seasons?
A good tent should serve you year-round.
✅ Does it provide both breathability and insulation?
✅ Is the ventilation system properly designed?
✅ Are roof covers, tarps, and other weather protection included?
- Can it handle the extremes?
The weather can always change unexpectedly.
Especially in Australia’s extreme conditions, it’s important to confirm that your tent can hold up.
✅ Does it have a UPF rating for UV protection?
✅ Can the structure withstand winds over 40m/s?
✅ Is it treated for waterproofing?
✅ Does the material remain stable without shrinking or deforming in sub-zero temperatures?
- Is the usable space as big as it looks?
Tent specs don’t always reflect real-world comfort.
✅ Check the slope of walls and ceiling height
✅ Look out for dead space or restricted headroom
- What added features does it have?
Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.
✅ Ventilation, mesh panels, or double doors
✅ Pockets, power cord ports, AC exhaust ports
✅ Stove jack or removable floor for multi-purpose use
Now ask yourself…
What kind of camper are you?
- SEEKING the comfort of home while surrounded by nature?
- CHASING that hotel-style luxury even while you’re out camping?
- NEED a tent that stands strong through heavy wind, rain, and all four seasons—even in the rugged Aussie outback?
- WANT a full camping setup that’s easy to handle solo?
- AIMING for a spacious tent the whole family can relax in?
It may seem impossible to find a tent that ticks every one of these boxes—
but there is one that does exactly that.
Introducing the inflatable tent that’s redefining comfort in the great outdoors.
Coody Air Tent brings a whole new paradigm to the camping experience.
🏕️ Why inflatable tents are great for outdoor camping
🏡 1. Fast & Easy Setup
No more wasting hours setting up poles while your kids wait. Coody inflatable tents replace complicated metal frames with high-durability air poles that inflate all at once with a single-point inflation system. Setup is quicker, easier, and stress-free.
⚓️ 2. Built with Boat-Grade Materials
Worried about strength? Our air poles are made with 15Φ thick material used in boat manufacturing—flame-retardant, ultra-durable, and tougher than most traditional poles.
