Decathlon 5.2 fresh and black inflatable tent?

Hi all, we're taking our three young kids camping this summer and are in the market for a family tent. We both have quite a lot of camping experience as singles and young marrieds but haven't gone (in our own tent, that is) since having children. Have been looking around and I quite like the look of the Quechua 5.2 Fresh and Black inflatable tent with the two bedrooms. Hoping it might stave off early wake-ups (nice that the kids are in their own compartment for nights) and looks like it provides a fair bit of living room too.

Any experience with these tents? Is it a terrible quality or decent? Any issues with leaking or with the inflation aspect (vs traditional poles)? Is the inflation thing a big gimmick or is it quite handy? Reviews appreciated!

We have this tent and it's brilliant. We have 3 children and the compartment configurations are good and it is a good height/size.

The black out is really useful and does get my kids to sleep longer (unheard of). The flaw in it is there are side windows in the main bedroom area which obvs let the light in, and also you need to zip up tightly rather than leave a draught. It's also very good at keeping cool in sunshine.

I put it up and took it down alone last year and it was fine. It's heavy to get out of the car and position but apart from that is really easy to do.

Get a carpet for the middle of poss as the groundsheet in main part is quite thin.

We are going again this year.
Have fun!
