Hot summer days have arrived. You went with your baby to the country house or to the village to get some fresh air. What could be more enjoyable and more interesting for a child than playing with water in a children's pool. But it is not always easy and quick to navigate the variety of inflatable pools in the store.
What do you need to choose
To choose an inflatable pool first of all you need to determine your budget. The amount you are willing to spend will determine the shape, size and design of the pool. Also determine if you want a toddler-only pool or if you want the whole family to swim in it.
What is the difference between different inflatable children's pools
From the abundance of types of children's inflatable pools and the range of prices for them, you can get confused. But in fact, the whole variety of pools can be divided into categories: round, rectangular (or complex shapes), pools with a canopy and with slides.
Round pools
The simplest inflatable pools are round in shape with inflatable sides. The bottom of the round pool can be smooth or fluted to prevent the child from slipping in it. The sides of such a pool are very low: from 25 cm.
Small round pools are easy to inflate and fill up quickly. The water does not need to be heated: on a hot day it will quickly warm up in the sun. The smallest round pools (100 cm in diameter, for example) are inexpensive - from 200 rubles. The larger the pool diameter, the higher the price for it.
Complex shaped pools
More complex and larger pools are rectangular or hexagonal. Manufacturers can provide a valve in the design of such a pool for quick drainage of water, since a sufficiently large volume is placed in them (for example, 167 liters). Also, the pool may be provided with seating.
It is worth paying attention to these models if it is assumed that both children and adults will swim in the pool. The price for rectangular inflatable pools starts from about 800 rubles and can go up to several thousand if the structure of the pool is very complex.
Swimming pool with a canopy
Most often, the child plays in the water during the hottest part of the day. And direct sunlight is harmful and even dangerous for the baby. Therefore, it is better to place the pool in the shade of a tree, for example. But you can purchase a model of a children's pool with a canopy. Often these pool models have an inflatable bottom. On the one hand, it will be more pleasant for the child to sit in it, but on the other hand, the inflatable bottom may not last long. It can be easily pierced with something sharp on the ground. But even if the bottom stops inflating, this does not mean that the pool will become unusable: it will still retain water due to the second layer of the bottom.
Pools with a canopy can be made in the form of a butterfly or a flower, which can really please the kid. The price of a pool with a canopy starts at 800 rubles and grows as the size of the pool itself increases and the structure of the canopy becomes more complex.
Pools with slides
The most complex pools have various slides, sprinklers and toys in their design. Such pools are the most expensive, but also the most interesting for a child. You can use them not only with water, but also just for games. Prices for pools with slides start at about 1.5 thousand rubles.
Knowing the existing types of children's inflatable pools and the range of prices for them, you can safely go and choose it for your baby.
