Currently have a 2006 TT Double Rainbow and have been really happy with it, but realize it's not quite big enough to fit me and both kids. Am also looking for a lightweight solo shelter and thought about getting that and putting the kids in the DR, but I think we're still a few years away from them being comfortable with a setup that doesn't have them in the same space as me (they are 4 and 6 right now.)
Light is important since I'll be playing Sherpa, but I also need it to be comfortable / bug free for the kids – I imagine we will spend a decent amount of time in camp on these early trips and I want it to be fun so they decide they love backpacking as much as I do.
Thoughts on options that would work well for us? Am also wondering if we need a real 3 person shelter, or would a 2+ work since I'm only 5'7" and they're both the type to sleep close?
