Looking to move from our popup camper to a car camping setup. We’re a family of 4. Kids are 6/3. I’m guessing a 4 person tent is likely going to be too small. Would like for it to have a vestibule. Already on the list are:
Big Agnes Wyoming 6
Coleman Skydome 6
North face wawona 6
Kelty rumpus 6
What am I missing? Which of these are an immediate no?

Big fan of the Wawona. My wife grabbed one on a real deep sale. We use it with our toddler and 80lb labradoodle, with room to spare. I generally set it up and break it down by myself, so I can confirm that it can be a one person job if necessary.
It is tall, spacious, awesome vestibule, lots of storage pockets, lots of windows for visibility and air flow, and if you take your time it fits very easily in the carry bag it comes in. I even manage to fit a footprint in the bag and it still cinches up just fine. Speaking of which, the only downside is the matching footprint can be expensive and was out of stock everywhere when we bought the tent, but the Wonderland 6 footprint fits great.
As you already know, choosing a tent is about your requirements / wishes, the options / advantages / disadvantages a specific tent model has, your approximately budget, etc.
Did you google / read tent model side-by-side reviews / tests from outdoor professionals? These reviews / tests can help you discard unwanted options, find / discard advantages / disadvantages, etc.
PS. I’m not allowed to link to these reviews / tests.
