It depends upon the tent you get if it will be hard to put up by yourself. I did a 6 person ozark trail dome tent by myself and I currently put up my 6 person Coleman Carlsbad by myself. The Carlsbad is shorter than the ozark trail but both went up moderately easy, not as easy as one of those ones you just fling and it’s set up but those tend to be a little stuffy inside.
I have the Coleman Carlsbad 6 person tent. The price has come back down recently. Now's a good time to jump on it. It was $100 more for most of this year.

Got our Coleman Darkroom 6 person tent from Costco about 5-6 years ago. Still going strong and we camp 5-10 times a year. It holds up through rain too. I think it was about $65. Really cheap. We use it for just the 2 of us but 3 people could sleep cozy but comfortable.
I reckon get a 6 person tent, those ones you mentioned are too big.
We also have a 3yo, and we got a 6 person Coleman darkroom. It means jr can sleep in summer when the sun is still out
The Coleman darkroom is the best tent I've ever owned, my toddler can nap in it during the day in summer. Slightly more work than a Coleman dome, but I put a camping fan on in it and wake up at 7:30-8 in the morning
Coleman dark room tent is great with kids, if you put a camping fan in there for some background noise they'll be napping in no time. I don't take kids camping in bad weather, but the Coleman is sturdy enough if you peg all the ropes in that there won't be a problem

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
