For me, MSR Hubba Hubba NX2. Been in heavy rain and wind with it, totally fine. Packs at about 1,75kg, has tons of headroom, more than average room for a 2p tent, ultrafine mesh and a bunch of nifty details. Has a particular way of setting up because of the weird single pole, but you can do it in 5 minutes once used to it. When setting up in rain there's the option to put up the outer shell first so you can keep the inner fully dry. It is a bit trickier though. Finally, I would suggest to get the version with aluminum poles instead of the US only supposedly indestructible composite ones, a few bad reviews of the latter online.

Different price class, but I would recommend looking into MSR hubba hubba. Very sturdy, weighs 1.72kg, been in high wind and rain with zero issues. It's a really good tent, though there migth be better ones in this price range.

Got an MSR Hubba Hubba, feels like a great compromise. Perhaps not the most fashionable, but it does what it says on the tin.

I’ve got a Hilleberg Akto and an MSR Hubba NX.  I tend to use the Hille most of the year and crack out the MSR for nice summer days. It can handle a bit of weather but it comes into its own in proper summer when you can peel the outer fly back.

MSR Hubba Hubba is a very spacious and airy tent, light and packable. I’ve got the one man version and it’s great for three season use. Pitches inner first but in reality it’s so quick to put up that’s it’s a non issue unless you’re in an absolute biblical monsoon.

I have 3 similarly aged (3.5 years apart between all of them) and at this point we have a number of tents, mainly because I absolutely do not want them doing anything weird to my lightweight ones. I have an MSR Hubba NX just for myself, then a large canvas one for car camping and then just a pop-out decathlon one for them. The Decathlon 2-second set up is actually a game-changer so I’m not saying it’s a crappy tent, but my kids are older than yours and I *still* wouldn’t risk my nice one with them at this point.

I currently have a MSR HUBBA NX which I absolutely love and have added extra guy lines, I weigh about 92kg so it pretty much will never blow away but it won’t do me much good in 4 season environments. I spend quite alot of time on Dartmoor/ wales but looking to do summit camps towards the end of this year in the lakes/ Scotland and wondering what tent I should be saving up for. I really do like MSR and have got a lot of their kit, a brand I stand by by not interested in their access series. Looking for a fixed two wall tent that I don’t have to prop up and then add a fly sheet. I have narrowed it down to the vern or the cross. I’m hoping some people on hear have any experience with the terra nova as I have never seen it in person but a lot online. My friend has the Vern 1 and it’s a great bit of kit but was hoping someone might have experience in both.

My MSR hubba hubba NX (not the version with Easton Poles) has been exceptional in everything the UK has thrown at it. Ive had it about 10 years and its been in every UK condition imaginable (barring snow actually) across the NW Scottish Highlands, Wales etc. I think its pretty stormworthy and the inner pitch is an exaggerated drawback. Even when its been lashing it down the inside has remained dry whilst putting it up. Its not a 4 season tent for sure! But in 75% of UK conditions i reckon youre better off with the MSR than an Akto. Weight/condensation/ease of perfect pitch/living space. The Hillebergs are unbelieveable tents but sod carrying it about unless I really need to!
