Beach tent or beach canopy???

Hi. My DP has seen a very cool looking UV beach canopy called a Beachshadow and is quite keen to get one for our hols and for the garden etc. Has anyone got one? They cost £50 so it is pricey but I thought it might be easier to persuade 18-month-old to stay under a canopy than in a tent when it gets hot. Plus as it's got 4sq metres of shade you can put the buggy under it plus all of us. Mind you, looks a bit of a faff to put up. The beach tent is easy to pop up and is cheaper. Any opinions, anyone? Thanks!

Beachshadow FAQ
It looks great but some beaches if managed will not be happy!!

Will allow much cooler area especially with the wind break than a tent and as the FAQ say 2 people 4-5 minutes which i what our beach tent takes.

Also great as a gazebo / rain shelter in the garden at home
