Let’s Talk Kiddie Pools
Spring is here and that means summer is on its way! Of course, I live in Florida, so it’s always summer, but I remember the anticipation for summer once April hit from my years growing up in New Jersey. In fact, before my husband and I moved to Florida, we bought a kiddie pool for the triplets to enjoy during their first summer. I spent awhile online trying to decide what would be the best kiddie pool for three babies who would turn 1-year old midway through the summer. Hard pool, inflatable pool, big, small - there were so many choices. Finally, I decided that I simply didn’t know what the best choice would be, so I went to Toys ‘R Us and bought the cheapest one on the shelf.That pool is now on its third year of use with us. The triplets use it year-round not just as a pool, but also as a hiding spot and more. It gets dragged all around our lanai and has only gotten one hole in it, which was easily patched with a Home Depot patch kit. What’s the name of this amazing pool you ask? It’s the Intex Crystal Blue Pool (it’s the one in the picture above). I have the one with three inflatable tiers (I think there is a two-tier version, too). It’s 58″w x 13″h, and the triplets can still all fit in it (although it’s more crowded than it was when they were 1-year old and my husband and I would sit in it with them, too). The best part is the price. At just $7.99, you can’t go wrong with this kiddie pool. 
I do strongly suggest a pump, or you might pass out trying to blow it up. We bought the Intex Quick Action Hand Pump (see the picture) for about $14.99, but any double air pump (meaning air comes out as you push down and pull up) should work well (and fast). We can pump our pool up in just a minute or two with our pump. Do you have a kiddie pool that you and your kids really love (or loved)? Any that you would not recommend?
