4.0 out of 5 stars Great pool for a smaller child, June 30, 2007

Unlike many pools you see, this one is actually about the size as you'd expect from the box. It has several activities such as the ball ramps, the slide and the rings that seem like they might be fun for a younger child. It is rated 3 years+, but the activities seem like they'd be enjoyed best by someone between 1 and 3.

The little pillows on the larger ring make a squeaking noise when squeezed, which would no doubt bring squeals of giggles from the tots. The most fun part, however is the shower, which when the hose is turned up high whips around and showers everything! This has been found to be hysterical, if best done near a flower bed that needs the water anyway. At lower pressure it showers down one pool or the other, depending on which direction the rainbow arch is drooping.

Unfortunately our boys are a bit out of this age range (3 & 5 now) and while they enjoy it as a pool, its clear the activities are a bit beneath them. It is made of light weight PVC, such as you might expect from a drug store inflatable raft. The larger rings have both large holes for an air pump, as well as smaller ones to be inflated directly by a person. The ramps, rainbow and other accessories are all person inflatable only. The air-pump holes are also not valved, so be quick about getting the caps on! I suspect it will prove not be as durable and easy to use as our previous pool, which was better constructed, though also made by Intex.

In short, a toddler would love this pool, and if it didn't survive more than one season it is probably still a value. For larger kids prone to running jumps onto the tubes, there may be a better choice. At this point I expect to be looking again next year.

My two year old loved this, he and three of the neighborhood kids, ranging in age from 2-6 years old had a blast in this pool and put it through the ringer. I am completely satisified with this pools entertainment value but there is a huge catch for the parents... there's no drain for it and it holds about 110 gallons of water! Which means 1) you must keep it covered when not in use, 2) will have to bail out this pool one bucket at a time to clean it!!! And trust me its no small task, I have it down to about a 45 minute process. I also tried using a hose with negative pressure to try and siphon-drain it and it took about three hours to move only a few gallons of it. Seriously unless you want this for infrequent use and you intend to just deflate it every time, don't bother. Its allot of work for something that would have been such an easy fix for the company to install! Just one little drain!

This is a great pool! It has so many activites, my two-year-old would play in it for hours all by herself, and really had a great time when a couple of friends joined her. They loved climbing from the shallow end to the deep end, going down the slide and tossing the balls around. The rainbow always leaned one way or another, which is annoying, and the slide did not line up quite right with the deeper end. But that didn't slow the kids down one bit. It is well worth the money.
