Which 2/3 man tent?

[LeadFarmer]

Im looking for suggestions for a 2/3 man tent for occasional weekend use next year with my 8yr old son. Main priorities are...

Waterproof
Quick & simple to erect on my own
Built in groundsheet

Weight isn't an issue as I won't be carrying it on my back. Im considering the Vango Tempest 200/300 or perhaps Robens Voyager 3EX, but happy to consider other brands. Budget not too important, but hoping to get a deal now its winter.

Thanks

Have a look at Decathlon's range of pop up tents.
I have a simple 3 man and a bigger 4 man with porch. They have built in led lights which is good for the kids as it is more dispersed light than a torch.
Vangos have always been good but pricey imho

Their pop up tents do look good. I guess the only negative is that they couldn't be carried with me on my motorbike if ever I decided to (I realise I never mentioned motorbikes). But I do now accept that the ability to stand, or at least comfortably sit up would be good advantage.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. After further thought, I've decided jep was right in his suggestion, I'd benefit from a tent that I can standup in. Being able to stand and change into/out of my bike gear would be useful. Some of the tents suggested so far do look good;

Vango EOS 550XL
Coleman Instant Tourer
Coleman Dome 5
Coleman Coastline 4 Deluxe

The OP is asking for a two thirds of a man tent, so 1.6m should be plenty tall

I like what you did there.

Choosing a tent is quite dangerous isn't it. Im looking at tents that also have a separate small living area and I like them, But where do you stop, every tent you look at theres one just slightly better/bigger, Maybe I ought to buy a motorhome????????

A separate living area does sound good though, if only for somewhere to step into and take you boots off etc, before going into the sleeping area.
