5.0 out of 5 stars Great for little ones!
My 15 month old daughter got this as a present from her grandfather and she loves it! Be warned you should get a pump or air compressor to inflate it. Once it was inflated, she loved the rings, balls, and other toys that come with it. The slide is fun...the dolphin sprays and makes it slippery. It's a powerful spray too! This has even been able to handle three dogs...

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
I bought this pool regardless of the price (which I thought was kind of high, not to mention the price of the air compressor I had to get to fill it) after reading all the online reviews. I couldn't wait to use it. Well after an hour of blowing it up with a compressor I could not believe how disappointed I was. First it took forever to inflate. Then the rainbow shade...

Once it was inflated, she loved the rings, balls, and other toys that come with it. The slide is fun...the dolphin sprays and makes it slippery. It's a powerful spray too! This has even been able to handle three dogs climbing in & out of it. I highly recommend it. Especially for toddlers.

We just bought this for our twin girls, 15 mo. old this Spring. We were originally looking for a simple round hard plastic pool, after reading all the reviews about the inflatables leaking air and lasting for only a summer, but we looked everywhere and never found one. Anyway, we made this purchase for the fact that it has low sides to easily climb in and out of for young toddlers but can still hold enough water to have a good time and splash around, also after reading that other reviewers were happy with it too. I would certainly recommend using an air compressor (only 20min.) to inflate all the pieces, although you can do it manually if you had to. The toys that come with it are a plus, and the slide is a good height so that you don't have to worry about the kids getting hurt. I will also say that it is the most colorful thing out in the backyard. You should have seen the girls faces light up when we brought them out try it. They were so delighted! They loved the slide and the toys best of all. We are very pleased so far with it, although since I have not had it very long I cannot attest to the durability. But overall, fun, safe and attractive swimming pool. I only wish I had one of these growing up!

This review is from: ?????????? ??? DOLPHIN PLAY CENTER 56459 (Toy)
My husband bought this pool for our 18 month old boy/girl twins; they absolutely love this pool. At first I thought the price was pretty high, but they loved it so much and used it practically every day, it survived our first summer and we're looking forward to using it again next year. We did take the rainbow shade down so that they'd have more room to splash around, but otherwise it stayed up fairly well. We already have an air compressor; so inflating it was easy, we had no problems with air leakage even with my son straddling the sides and bouncing the water out. We kept the water pressure low that flowed from the beach ball the dolphins held since my kids aren't crazy about water in their faces, it was just enough to keep the slide wet.

I think I had just as much fun watching them as they had splashing around. If the pool did spring a leak, I think I'd buy another to replace it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of wet, summer fun, June 4, 2004

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: ?????????? ??? DOLPHIN PLAY CENTER 56459 (Toy)
My kids, 1 & 3 year old boys, LOVE this pool. I turn the water works on pretty low to keep the water at a safe level and they just love splashing around and sliding up and down in it. It's lasted 2 summers so far. With a good pump, we are able to set up and put away easily. The smaller accessory toys are long lost, but the rest of it is still around and providing hours of wet, summer fun. GREAT PRODUCT!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Agree Completely with a 5-Star Review on All Counts, May 28, 2004

This pool is so cool. The excitement in my daughter's eyes when she saw this pool was worth (...). I love it, she loves it, we all love it. So wonderfully colorful and playful, this pool is a must-have for little "swimmers". It is delightful and so much fun for my little one. I recommend this pool for lots of summer fun. You will need some kind of foot pump or air compressor for setting up. I started with a foot pump and my husband finished it in no time flat with our portable air compressor.

I couldn't wait to use it. Well after an hour of blowing it up with a compressor I could not believe how disappointed I was. First it took forever to inflate. Then the rainbow shade would keep falling over and it wasn't rounded like in the picture but more like a point. Then the dolphins wouldn't even stand up. I had to stand there and hold it. The slide would just flatten out whenever anyone used it. So needless to say I returned it. It had alot of great stuff and the colors were bright and pretty. Plus the depth is great for toddlers but I would not recommend it to anyone, nor will I ever buy a blow up pool again.

I bought this pool for my three kids last year. They love it. I took it with us when we went and visited my family in Colorado, it was a hit. My neices and nephew loved the dolphins and the two large ones holding the ball that sprayed the kids as they slid down the slide. My children are now 8, 4 and 2.5 yrs and they can't wait until I bring it out for summer fun.

I bought this pool for my daughter last year and we are still using it this year. She and her cousins love to splash around. The small accessories are long gone and she still has a lot of fun.

This review is from: ?????????? ??? DOLPHIN PLAY CENTER 56459 (Toy)
I purchased this pool for my 2 year old in July 2003. We played in it all summer and it never leaked water or air.It even survived a storm that knocked large tree limbs down in it and on it.My son loved the floating toys that came with it and I loved being able to get in with him and still have room to move around.The slide is fun and a great recliner for mommy too.My only issue is with the velco rainbow sunshade.The velco came off after only a couple weeks and with no way to reattach it it can't be used as a sunshade anymore so we just used it to sit on when we got out of the pool.

I agree with the other disappointed review. The rainbow didn't curve, the dolphins didn't stand up, and the pool kept deflating (obviously a hole in it). Too much work for a nice sunny day when I just want to go out and play with my toddler, not work while my toddler plays. I'm going back to a standard plastic pool after this experience.
