I bought this pool for my son and this is the third year that we've used it. Believe it or not, my very active son has outgrown this pool before even one hole has appeared!!! This pool has endured lots of acrobatic jumping and even made an appearance at a 'Gross' birthday party for 15 kids as the slime pit. It still doesn't have a puncture!! My son is 7 this summer and he is actually too big for it (he likes to jump in it and since he is 52 inches tall this pool is too small for that activity). I never expected when I bought this pool that I would be 'handing it down' to someone else years later!

My husband and I wanted to buy a pool for our 14 month old. After reading the other reviews on this pool we decided to get it. It was easy to inflate and it's really a nice size for the price. We were all able to fit in it and could have even had a few more bodies in there. Our little guy seemed to really enjoy it. We look forward to many more lazy summer days in the pool! We would definitely recommend this to others.

We just took it out for a test drive today. My 2 yr old and 1 yr old absolutely love it! Place it on the grass because when they get moving in there and slip and fall, you'll be glad you did. It's wonderful for the price!

This is a great pool for kids. I didn't think it was going to be very big. I have had my 2 girls, 3 & 5, and the neighbor's kids, 5 & 7 in it at the same time. They all had a great time. I can even stretch out in it !! I highly recommend it, especially for the sale price...

We bought this for a friend's birthday party where people wanted to do some oil wrestling. It worked perfectly!

It was sturdy and well constructed enough to handle 3 adults wrestling around in it and pushing against the sides. At one point a 6'5", 240lb man fell directly on to the side of it, pressing the majority of his weight on to the inflated wall of the tub and it held.

I would definitely buy this brand again! If it could handle the physical abuse that we put it through I'm sure it could handle a group of school children playing in it.

Great pool for the price, especially because you don't need to buy the pump. We've used a hairdryer (set to cool), an air mattress pump and even the blower to a Little Tikes Bouncer ... all methods work great and can inflate the pool in less than 5 minutes. The seal doesn't have to be perfect, just hold whatever inflation device you've got up to the hole, and you're in business.

As another reviewer mentioned, there is no drain plug. You've got to deflate the pool to empty it. Usually after a full day or 2 of play, the water gets a little cloudy. Adding a couple tablespoons of bleach helps to keep it clear maybe a day or 2 longer than that. I use an old splatter guard from the kitchen to get all the bugs out in the morning and evenings. You can also buy a cover.

To store it, I find it helpful to reinflate the pool after emptying it. Wipe it down with a clean cloth and let it air dry completely, then deflate it and roll it up tight. It has kept great for the last 2 years in a deck box, despite the frigid winter weather.

Enjoy!

It's not really educational, I just HAD to give it full marks! We got it for my baby sister's birthday, and it was delightful! Not many things impress my sister, but this, this was the exception to the rule. It's Easy on the eyes, and it's durable and fun.

My grandson turned 1 year old this month so I thought getting him a little pool would be great. I was going to get a tiny baby pool but read bad reviews on most. This one advertises for 3+
but it looked great and no one hopefully would ever put a little child of any age in any pool.
Well we absolutely love it. It is a perfect size and Mom and Dad can get in it with him and they all love it. My grandson holds the top of the pool and walks all the way around it and even being wet it is not at all slippery. I would advize anyone to make this purchase. I sure am thrilled that I did.

This pool looked great as it was being inflated. However, I was very disappointed to find that it had no drain plug. A pool this size is very heavy and difficult to drain by hand. The bottom developed a leak after just a few weeks of use. Definitely not recommended.

Just received this pool. Seems durable and decent size, but no drain plug as advertised. Ridiculous not to have a drain in a pool this size. Will have to deflate it to drain it otherwise will have to use a bucket to get the water out.
