Looking for the best teepee tent for kids? The right one is big enough to share, stays standing when kids pile in, feels soft and breathable, and is safe to have in a bedroom. Here is a simple checklist Canadian parents can use – and how our own tent measures up, so you can compare it fairly with anything else you’re considering.
1. Size: can more than one child fit?
Many play tents are around 100 cm wide, which fits one child. If siblings or friends will play together, look for a base of about 120 cm and a height of 150 cm or more so a parent can sit inside for stories. The ZIVASKA teepee is 120 × 120 × 160 cm and fits 2–3 kids.
2. Fabric: cotton or polyester?
Polyester is cheaper but can feel stuffy indoors. 100% cotton canvas breathes, feels soft and looks more natural in a bedroom or playroom. Ours is 100% cotton.
3. Poles and stability
Thin poles bend and teepees topple when kids lean on them. Look for solid wood poles and a top connector or stabiliser that locks them together. Ours uses natural pine poles with a top stabiliser.
4. What’s included
A lot of tents are sold as “cover and poles only”, and the mat, lights and decorations cost extra. Check the box contents before comparing prices. The ZIVASKA teepee includes 3 m star fairy lights, a round 120 cm fluffy mat/blanket, a bunting banner and a carry bag.
5. Safety testing for Canada
For a product children sit and sleep in, ask whether it has been tested for flammability, lead and phthalates. Our tents are lab-tested for Canada for all three. Always keep fairy lights and cords out of reach of very young children and switch lights off when nobody is watching.
6. Set-up and storage
If it takes 30 minutes and tools, it won’t come out often. Ours sets up in under 5 minutes with no tools and packs into its carry bag for storage or travel.
7. Price and where it ships from
Ordering from overseas can mean long waits and difficult returns. ZIVASKA ships from Burnaby, BC across Canada, with a Canadian return policy.

Cotton is more breathable and comfortable indoors and looks more natural; polyester is usually cheaper and lighter.
