Tips on how to choose an inflatable children's pool!

January 04, 2024

Do you want to avoid the crowds at the public pool or simply want to have a pool at home for a refreshing break? Enjoy the excitement of buying a kiddie pool for your backyard.

While buying a kids' inflatable pool may seem like a no-brainer, there are actually several factors to consider.

What should we look for in a children's pool?

Inflatable kiddie pools are a great place to cool off on a bright, sunny day, but safety should never be compromised. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), infants can drown in 1 to 2 inches of water in as little as 20 seconds. Drowning happens quickly and silently, which is why the AAP recommends constant adult supervision whenever a child under 5 is near water. In practice, this means staying within arm’s length and providing touch supervision. In addition to supervision, you should also consider the following design specifications when shopping for a new kiddie pool:

Comfortable size

Think about what size kiddie pool will fit in your space. While you probably won't find heavy plastic options that are larger than 45 inches, inflatable pools are available in sizes.

Easy storage options

Once summer is over, think about how you will store your kiddie pool for next season.

Suitability for the age of your children

Children's pools are usually suitable for toddlers, young children and young adults. Some children's pools are suitable for babies as young as 6 months old, provided they can stand unaided. Use the pool manufacturer's age recommendations.

Special features

When it comes to kiddie pool additions, there are plenty of options. Keep in mind that if you have older children, they may want to add waterfalls or slides to the pool, but keep in mind that these activities can be tiring for younger children and infants.
