Outwell Oregon 4

£129.00

This is a very spacious 4-person family tent, with an equally massive porch, which means if living space is your priority this leads the way. It is pitched with poles sliding through the sleeves around the outer and pegs locating into the ends of the poles. You get ladder lock webbing adjusters to make the task of tensioning easier, and ...

Robens Dreamer

£169.00

This 4-person family tent pitches outer-first with three poles sliding through continuous sleeves where one end of the sleeves is sewn shut to make pitching a little easier. Ladder-lock webbing straps around the base make tensioning easy too. Inside you get a massive (220cm) porch at one end, which allows a couple of bikes to be stored or a load ...

Out & About Nipper

£199.00

The Nipper is the lightest all-terrain buggy we tested, something you really appreciate given the number of times you’ll be lugging it in and out of the car. It feels wieldy on the move too, although it’s not quite the most manoeuvrable. The Nipper’s clearly been designed by people with real target-market experience: it’s packed with thoughtful features you appreciate ...

Vango Colorado 600

£200.00

This family tent from Vango is huge, with a tall and spacious dome-shaped living area and tunnel extensions for sleeping compartments. It’s a bit fiddly to put up, but would make a wonderful base for longer trips. Plenty of windows, skylights and vents make it feel light and airy inside.

Mamas & Papas Ecko 3

£220.00

The Ecko 3 is a plushly padded all-terrain buggy (it looks a bit like the interior of a Range Rover) and is excellent for getting your child off for a doze. It’s fairly straightforward to build, has a handy zipped pocket on the back for maps and other clobber, and a big under-seat stowage basket. Its one-handed folding mechanism is ...

Vango Equinox 350

£250.00

Like many Vango tents, this 4-person family tent is pitched outer-first which is ideal for the wet weather so often encountered in the UK. Three colour-coded poles slip easily through mesh sleeves around the outer, while ladder-lock adjusters make the tensioning easier. The inner tent is suspended inside and provides plenty of room. The porch area is huge at 220cm ...

Urban Detour Xtreme Travel System

£295.00

Looking at this all-terrain buggy in sheer value for money terms, it’s hard to argue against it, with its faux-fur zip-in sleeping bag, integrating car seat, rain cover and matching changing bag. Like some others, it’s really a plush town buggy flirting with rugged looks, but it’s better than you think off-road: it’s amazingly well-balanced and manoeuvrable, the front wheel ...

Phil & Teds E3

£300.00

This all-terrain buggy looks good, it’s reasonably light but very well-made, and it’s the only buggy we tested that can be easily converted into a tandem two-seater (with the optional extra seat). Its storage basket is capacious and well-protected from trail crud, and its foot brake is easy to operate and very positive. The handle is extremely comfy, and your ...

Vango Nevis 400 2010

£340.00

Vango has for many years dominated the quality end of the family camping market, and the Nevis 400 is typical of the company‘s attention to detail. The tent follows the popular tunnel configuration but it benefits from the quality components and a feature set that lift it above the average family tent. Design From the outside the Vango Nevis 400 ...

Mountain Buggy Terrain

£369.00

This is the least glitzy-looking all-terrain buggy we looked at, and the most out of place pootling round town; it’s the one which’ll cause your friends’ eyebrows to raise the highest when you tell them the price. But the one place it all comes together is the one that matters most: on the rough stuff. On stony paths, rutted tracks ...

Marmot Halo 4P

£400.00

This 4-person family tent pitched inner-first with poles slipping easily through mesh sleeves around the inner. The flysheet is then draped over the top and clipped in place with ladder lock webbing adjusters. This is very easy and fast to pitch, and creates a very stable structure. I particularly like the layout of having a porch and entrance at each ...

Macpac Hemisphere

£550.00

This is a super-tough and super-stable 4-person tent that is ideal for mountaineers. It benefits from a 6-pole geodesic structure than is incredibly stable. It pitches inner-first, with the poles being colour-coded and slipped through continuous sleeves. There is a porch and entrance at each end, which is ideal when four people are coming and going. Each porch entrance easily ...

So they are designed to withstand the worst weather, while allowing the campers to sit around a warm fire inside the tent. Their cosy design makes them ideal for the outdoor family looking for a more ‘traditional’ camping experience. DesignTipis have ...

MSR Stormking

£640.00

This is an incredibly spacious and stable 4-person tent that is far easier to pitch than its appearance might suggest. The trick is that all the poles are the same length and each slides through a continuous sleeve on the inner. So pitching is very easy and the flysheet goes over the top where it is attached to the base ...

Terra Nova Laser Space 5 2010

£750.00

Many backpackers will know Terra Nova for its lightweight and expedition tents, but it also makes group tents. The Laser Space 5 is extremely light for its size, which means it should allow a family of four to get everything they need into a small car, rather than needing to tow a trailer or fit a roof box. DesignThe Laser ...
