Love my air tents but wouldn't want to carry them far - I have a Timber Ridge wagon for carting gear around though! I do quite like this tent for head room and https://amzn.eu/d/525FsMh
OK Im uniquely qualified to answer this question! My time to shine finally! I was a previous owner of a Springbar Family Camper and current owner of the cheapy Coleman Blackout Tents. One thing to consider with the Springbars, are the amount of sunlight that get let through them. Theyre great tents, very comfortable, setup easy, but they just let in way to much light for getting little kids down to bed. Ultimately we went back to the cheap blackout Coleman tent and have been happy with that. It wont last as long as the Springbar, but it works while our kids are really little, and eventually we can buy another Springbar if we want too.
We have a fancy blackout tent (I think Coleman) but find that using a reflective shade over the top still massively helps it to stay cooler. You can get fabric ones fairly cheap which are great because they’re reusable and not noisy like space blankets
