Abstract
A tent for children includes a base with a top, bottom, and border. A collapsible shelter is formed with the base, comprising vertical panels, an upper canopy, and poles. A sleeping pad is removably attached to the bottom of the base, with a perimeter outwardly offset from the base border to prevent child entrapment. The tent may include a removable floor panel secured by a zipper mechanism, an access door, corner webbings with pass-through fittings, and storage pockets. The design provides a safe and versatile sleeping solution for children in various environments.
