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

Product Information

Look for the rigid frame pools. You can get rectangular, but I think the 12ft round steel one would be perfect. Plenty of room and you can still afford to get a ladder and possibly a solar heating panel too. Set up a foot bath to go under the ladder so they don't walk dirt into it and stay on top of the chlorine levels with a floating multi-function tablet and dispenser and you will only need to top it up every few weeks.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user ChiefBabySniffer) Our verdict Size: 8.5ft | Age suitability: 6 years + | Assembly: Pump (approx 13 minutes inflation time) | Drainage plug: Yes | Capacity: 950 litres| Max user weight: Not specified What we love Garden suitability - Consider whether you have a suitable space to lay your paddling pool. Ideally, they should be on a flat surface, but you may want to avoid putting one on the patio in case your child was to slip or fall. 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. Size: 229 x 229 x 66 cm | Age suitability: 3 years + | Assembly: 5 to 7 minutes with electric pump | Drainage plug: Yes | Capacity: 990 Litres| Max user weight: Maximum seat weight 8 stone What we love We’ve had the Bestway/Intex frame ones. Pretty easy to assemble, as the frame slots together. The filter is straightforward and you can buy sets of the essential chemicals in tablet form to avoid the calculation of quantity. A cover is also essential to keep bugs and leaves out. The inflatable ones don’t look sturdy enough to me." (Recommended by Mumsnetter ChippyMinton)

It's great and still gets used every year. My daughter is 11 and plays in it whenever the weather is good enough. We had a cheap plastic slide that she (and sometimes her older brothers) used to slide down into it.” (Brand tried and tested by Mumsnetter Trillis) Our verdict The Lenbest Elephant baby pool is designed in the shape of a bright blue elephant which will bring fun and joy to any baby or toddler. With robust side panels that are puncture and corrosion-resistant, this is a high quality above ground pool that, despite its substantial size, is relatively affordable and easy to assemble with no tools required. Whilst it does come with a filter system to help keep the water clean and hygienic, we recommend you also invest in the Bestway pool cover and a chlorine kit to prevent unwelcome bugs or wildlife from going for a dip.

Size: 12ft | Age suitability: 3 years + | Assembly: Around 30 minutes to mount the frame | Drainage plug: Yes | Capacity: 6500 Litres| Max user weight: 510kg What we love If you’ve got older children then you’ll already know the answer to this question but if this is your first child then you may be wondering when can a baby use a paddling pool?

10. Best paddling pool for babies: Babymoov Aquani Anti-UV Paddling Pool Playpen

We have a Bestway one where you just pump up the top ring, then the rest stands up as the water goes in.” (Recommended by Mumsnetter CacenCrunch) Our verdict The sprinkler is operated by attaching a hose to the pool. Unlike others, this baby pool has a small length of hose attached to make it easier for you to connect it. Size: 333 x 229 x 112cm | Age suitability: 3 years + | Assembly: around 20 minutes, air pump needed | Drainage plug: Yes | Capacity: 290 litres| Max user weight: 50kg What we love 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. Just bear in mind that you do need a level surface for the inflation to work, so watch out for any sloped areas in your garden.
