Intex 57454EP-DD Ocean Island Play Center Inflatable Wading Pool with Games

My daughter is almost 4 and loves this play pool. With a small portable air pump it can be inflated in about 10-15 mins. The slide does have multiple inflation points, but they go quick. We have had no problem with the slide collapsing as some other reviews mentions and my daughter is almost 50lbs. Quick and easy to empty and fill, we have had no problem with leaks around the seams. It does have an attachment for the hose for water to spray up around the entire yellow perimeter like a splash pad would which is a nice feature. She definitely has more fun playing in this over a regular kiddie pool. Worth the money

My kids LOVE this pool. I bought it last year and decided to wait until I used it for a while before writing a review. After being packed away for the winter, it got a hole somewhere just in the yellow outer wall, but the small pool and slide were fine. I tried to locate the leak but decided it too much trouble as it was stored in our dirty garage and I wanted to start with a fresh new one. I tried to shop around amazon to see if there was a better pool instead of just getting the same one, but nothing came even close. The bright colors and pictures on the bottom just attract children! We had this set up next to a regular round inflatable pool and the children just gravitate to it and completely ignored the other boring pool. The slide is very useful and mostly the kids just slide and walk around and slide again, and because it's a pool within a pool, when they go around to slide again they don't track any dirt into the water so the pool stays cleaner than one where you have to get out of the water to slide again. Whoever said their kids were too heavy for the slide is crazy, my kids weight 30-35lbs and it gives them a great rush as they slide down into the water below, they laugh and laugh and literally RUN around to do it again. It is just the right depth for all ages (I have 4 and 2 yr old, last summer they were 1 and 300000). I am buying this one again for sure. Also the floaty ring toss, whale and turtle that come with are used a lot and are a great addition. Not to mention the built in sprinkler along the outer tube where the pressure can be adjusted for you child's temperament is great. You get quite a bang for your buck with this pool, and it's just set up in a way that makes the kids want to play in it for hours.

I bought this pool for my 2 year old son and 8 month old daughter. I think it is perfect for their ages! I'm sure they will be able to play in and enjoy it until they are at least 4 as well. (hopefully longer!) I love that the sides are low so my son can easily jump in and out. Shallow enough for my baby daughter to sit in and splash but enough water for my 2 year old to enjoy. The slide is sturdy and even has a little inflatable pad down at the bottom so kids will have a softer landing. The only thing I don't like is that there is a drain/hole (without a plug) in the deeper wading pool so you can't really keep the water deeper in there. I guess the only real reason for the "deeper" pool is to support the slide. Not really a big deal though, and I understand that it is a safety feature.The inflatable toys that came with the pool are very cute, too. Especially the turtle! My daughter loves the turtle and the bells that are inside. I'm sure once they are older they will enjoy the ring toss.I especially like that there is enough room for me to sit in the pool with my daughter and my son still has enough room of his own to splash around. Definitely the best pool I found and I looked at A LOT of inflatable pools online before I bought this one! I am very happy with my choice!I also bought the intex electric air pump and it filled up the pool within a matter of minutes. I definitely recommend getting an electric pump. There are several different air chambers to fill on this pool and it would be quite a workout with a manual pump.I only put 4 stars for durability just because the palm tree and one side of the slide deflated a little bit after a day. I think I may not have put enough air in that side of the slide to begin with, though. However, The sides are still firm after a week!I put 3 stars for educational, only because I view this as more of a "just for fun" toy, not an educational one. :)
