Bestway Inflatable Paddling Pool | Kids, Toddler Outdoor Garden Paddling Pool with Shade, Canopy Baby Pool, Ages 2+

Product Information

As parents trying to hold on to the last shred of aesthetics at home, fighting against a tidal wave of primary-coloured plastic, we were impressed with this cool-as-a-cucumber paddling pool. This is really handy for those days when it’s not as bright as you can quickly and easily remove it in a few seconds.

Paddling pools are an excellent way to keep kids cool, content and entertained during the warmer months. My cousin spotted it on my socials and instantly ‘popped’ around for catch up (just happening to bring her bikini with her!We liked the cute floral print on the outside – it didn’t create an eyesore in our garden – and although it’s quite pricy for the size, this pool feels more durable than some others we tested. It’s got a huge capacity, so we advocate filling/refilling once every few days and investing in a cover for it. A great way to turn your garden into your very own holiday resort, an inexpensive paddling pool will keep little ones and grown-ups entertained for hours. You’ll definitely need a pump (not included) to get this one up and running but it should take less than 15 minutes to inflate with an electric model. For a baby under three months, 32 degrees is recommended, but even older babies can lose heat very quickly.

If you are planning on lazing in the water well into the evening, this larger size pool is perfect for enjoying a glass of something cool in the garden. This pool comes equipped with patented FrameLink System™ T-connectors which prevent metal-on-metal corrosion creating a strong and robust frame.If you need to step away for a moment, ask another adult to supervise or take your children out of the pool.

It’s worth remembering to stay in the shade and avoid the midday sun due to babies’ sensitive skin and carefully consider the water temperature, ensuring it’s not too hot or too cold. Even in pools with a cover for shade, or in shaded areas, your kids are susceptible to sunburn and should always wear ample sun protection. Just as you'd check the temperature of their food, drinks and baths, always check the swimming pool isn't too cold before putting them in the water. For small families or small spaces, consider a traditional ring design that can be quickly and easily inflated by blowing air through a valve. Paddling pools can create hours of fun for your kids, but it's important to note that when the correct precautions aren't taken, they can actually be very dangerous.This Bestway Fast Set Swimming Pool is made from durable, puncture-resistant material and takes just 10 minutes to set up, simply needing the top ring inflating before self-standing as the pool is filled. A flat lawn is ideal, but if your garden is on a slope, you may prefer to take advantage of the benefit of gravity with a water slide instead. The Intex Lazy Snail baby pool is great for those warm summer days when all you want to do is to allow your children to cool off. This lovely turtle-shaped inflatable baby pool has a really great-sized inflatable sunshade that keeps them protected from the sun’s rays on those warm sunny days. We also liked that the floor of the pool has a mosaic print, so we could kid ourselves that we were on holiday in Spain rather than a back garden in Kent.

If you’ve got a budding water baby and are short on space, Kidly offers this trendy little paddling pool. This meant it was easy to adjust the temperature of the pool, and it didn’t rinse our water bill either. Made from puncture-resistant triple-layered material it promises to stand up to regular use, and measuring 300 x 200 x 75 cm, its spacious enough to fit up to four adults. You just need to ensure you have the right Paddling Pool with the right depth to allow for optimal fun. Because of its size and bulky shape, you’ll struggle to blow air into this one so it’s best to use a foot pump or, better still, an electric pump.With its fun underwater creature design and 25-litre capacity, it's a great choice for quick cool-downs in smaller spaces.
