Play & Shade Pool

Sturdy kiddie pool!

Very nice product quality per for the age had one years ago for my girls growing up. Easy to clean and store highly recommend.

Bought this for my 2 year old daughter, I loved the concept of it and how it looks next to her little house. However it is kind of small, more for a 1 year old. Especially cause my daughter is tall for her age. So far all she really likes to do in it is sit on the step and play with her toys. We had another pool for her that we bought at the store, kind of like a “doggy pool” and that one was more spacious for her to really get in and lay out. I got rid of that one though because I liked how this one was more sturdy and had an umbrella for her. So I’m not sure how long it’ll be able to serve her before she outgrows it but like I said, it’s way more sturdy then the bendy plastic ones you buy at the store, and the umbrella helps protect your child from the sun (the umbrella holder is very strong and always stays in place). The pool has 2 side steps to sit on or use to get in and out, if you look inside there’s a line that helps you know how much water to pour, and there’s a little pocket part that you can play with your water toys in. It comes with 3 water cups that have little holes that sprinkle out the water for fun. There’s also no hole at the bottom to empty the pool, so I usually just tip it over and let the water run out when we’re done playing. Overall happy with this product, just wish I bought it sooner when my child was smaller.

Although this product arrived a day later with prime shipping, it was definitely worth it!! My son adores this little pool! My autistic son has a small attention span and this pool entertains him daily for around 30 min to an hour straight. We call it our "splash pool" since that his favorite thing to do and you really can't "swim" in it because of the it's small size. The little umbrella that comes with it is genius. We just move the pool to where the umbrella shades it best and he can play without getting burned. The little toys that are included are great. It comes with 2 cups with holes in them, another solid cup to be used for pouring, and a water wheel. If you want to use this without the umbrella, it can be taken off the pool and the toys can hook on the sides of the pool for your child to play with that way. This little pool is easy to empty, once you get your fingers underneath it. There is no plug. There is a water fill line on the side, where the water should be for when you need to dump it. We usually fill the pool up to the very top because my son spends his time splashing anyway and by the time he is finished, there is very little water left in it. He has the other large step2 discontinued splash center, but he really doesn't care for it this year for some reason and it takes a lot of water to fill it. I like the idea that this conserves water in the hot summer months! This little shade pool is very lightweight so you can move it anywhere in your yard. I highly recommend this pool to everyone with small children aged 1-4 years.

I have a 10 month old son. He loves this pool. I am very glad it has two little seats in it. It gives him the option to sit up out of the water a little or down in it. I had hunted a long time to find one with an umbrella. It works great and is easy to take down and remove if I don't want/need it. The little water fall feature is also fun. My son likes to play with the water as it trickles down. The down side is removing the water. I use a pail to scoop it out enough so I can lift one side and dump it. I'm afraid if I lift it with too much water in it that it may bend the pool and cause a leak. There is also no cover even offered for it. I like to save water and not have to fill it every day but we have dogs and then there are the bugs (we are in the south). I will have to make a cover so we aren't wasting so much water.UPDATE July 2016 Well it is just a few days short of a full year for this pool and it is still going strong. It has been out on our back patio year round down here in Alabama. The umbrella is the only part that is starting to show some wear. But as you can see in the picture, it is still solid and functioning. Just the umbrella was in our storage box on the back patio through the winter. No moisture got to it and it was out of the sun. There are some small dark spots all over it as if there may be some mildew but it doesn't smell bad and doesn't seem to affect the integrity of the fabric.There is also one small tear on it. Not sure how that happened but it is still a solid umbrella. Still wish it came with a pool cover. Still very happy with this pool. Our son is now 22 months and he plays in it almost every day.

The media could not be loaded. I would have given it five if the umbrella was bendable but it isn’t it stays in one place. The pool itself is very sturdy perfect size for our eight month old grandsons first pool. You don’t have to worry about collapse issues. You just take it straight out of the box attach the umbrella fill it up and that’s it so easy. He loves splashing around in it and has so much fun’ the colours nice and bright on it too. All in all it functions really good. Very easy to clean and store after using.
