pop up play tent - which one?

My 3yr DS currently has a make-shift 'den' in his room which my DP is referring to as the 'shanty town'! Absolutely everything is going in there to 'keep safe'!!! So, in an effort to tidy up his room, and to give him some personal space, we thought we'd buy a pop up play tent/den.

We don't like 'themed' merchandise so are looking for something plain/colourful. Can anyone recommend one that's easy to put up and put away? If it can be used inside and out (with sun protection) then that's an added bonus.

Thanks!

Ikea do a nice one which appeals to those who like to shut the door too! Folds easy and my son much prefers it to his ELC ballpit one.

Just read my message and it didn't make sense.....I mean the door velcros closed so the child can "hide" inside. Says indoor use though.

I'd looked at the red IKEA one, as well as the 'igloo'. Is it fairly robust?

I've had no problem with it - the whole thing folds back for storage and you just pull it back round to pop up again. The velcros can be a bit of a pull to fasten (I fasten from outside) but do keep it closed. I chose this one over the other as it seemed sturdier.
