Step2Play & Shade Pool, Kids Activity Pool with Umbrella, Summer Outdoor Toys, 7 Piece Toy Accessories, For Toddlers 2+ Years Old

I have a 10 month old son. He loves this pool. I am very glad it has two little seats in it. It gives him the option to sit up out of the water a little or down in it. I had hunted a long time to find one with an umbrella. It works great and is easy to take down and remove if I don't want/need it. The little water fall feature is also fun. My son likes to play with the water as it trickles down. The down side is removing the water. I use a pail to scoop it out enough so I can lift one side and dump it. I'm afraid if I lift it with too much water in it that it may bend the pool and cause a leak. There is also no cover even offered for it. I like to save water and not have to fill it every day but we have dogs and then there are the bugs (we are in the south). I will have to make a cover so we aren't wasting so much water.UPDATE July 2016 Well it is just a few days short of a full year for this pool and it is still going strong. It has been out on our back patio year round down here in Alabama. The umbrella is the only part that is starting to show some wear. But as you can see in the picture, it is still solid and functioning. Just the umbrella was in our storage box on the back patio through the winter. No moisture got to it and it was out of the sun. There are some small dark spots all over it as if there may be some mildew but it doesn't smell bad and doesn't seem to affect the integrity of the fabric.There is also one small tear on it. Not sure how that happened but it is still a solid umbrella. Still wish it came with a pool cover. Still very happy with this pool. Our son is now 22 months and he plays in it almost every day.

Bought this for my 2 year old daughter, I loved the concept of it and how it looks next to her little house. However it is kind of small, more for a 1 year old. Especially cause my daughter is tall for her age. So far all she really likes to do in it is sit on the step and play with her toys. We had another pool for her that we bought at the store, kind of like a “doggy pool” and that one was more spacious for her to really get in and lay out. I got rid of that one though because I liked how this one was more sturdy and had an umbrella for her. So I’m not sure how long it’ll be able to serve her before she outgrows it but like I said, it’s way more sturdy then the bendy plastic ones you buy at the store, and the umbrella helps protect your child from the sun (the umbrella holder is very strong and always stays in place). The pool has 2 side steps to sit on or use to get in and out, if you look inside there’s a line that helps you know how much water to pour, and there’s a little pocket part that you can play with your water toys in. It comes with 3 water cups that have little holes that sprinkle out the water for fun. There’s also no hole at the bottom to empty the pool, so I usually just tip it over and let the water run out when we’re done playing. Overall happy with this product, just wish I bought it sooner when my child was smaller.

This is a great mini pool for my 1 and a half year old. After I bought it I thought it might be too small and wouldn’t allow him enough room to splash around but it’s perfect for him. He’s more interested in the accessories and pouring water out of the cups than splashing around and trying to swim. The umbrella is a nice touch because it allows for shade in the not so shady parts of our lawn. I also like its size because as the sun shifts, so does the pool, so I’m able to move it very easily when it’s empty and also clean it very easily after each use. It also allows for my son to get in and out of easily, he can hold on to the umbrella part or just climb out on his own. It would have been convenient if there was a plug that allowed for easier draining, I scoop out most of water and then just dump it, but that doesn’t not affect my rating. I’m happy and satisfied with this buy.

A lot of the reviews said this pool was too small and it was a con tang it didn’t have a drain plug. I disagree! The size is perfect for my 18 month old! She absolutely loves playing in it for hours, wet or dry (perfect for a sandbox as well) The water works is very fun and versatile. The textured sea creatures on the bottom of the pool are non-slip and she enjoys pointing and asking their names. She uses the little seats the majority of the time for sitting and climbing in and out by herself.As for the plug, that’s always the first thing to break. This is build to last for multiple kids or re-sell when done with it. Worth the price.

This is a nice sturdy plastic pool, light enough to lift by oneself. The umbrella is great as pool weather tends to be very sunny. The seating in the pool was a hit as well. When debating a water table or a kiddie pool, the "water table esque" elements like the wheel and various sifter cups meant this sort of fills both rolls. Great summer fun.

This little pool has a diameter of approximately 3 feet with an umbrella that shades about 2/3 of the pool. There are two little molded benches in the plastic, one on either side of the umbrella. Cups hang from the umbrella and kids can play with the spinning wheel and pour while seated in water.I ended up buying this pool because I wanted a molded pool and my local toys r us was not carrying molded pools this year (and I had no time to go to the next town and see what they had). I also admit, this pool is cute and I like the fact that the umbrella comes with it and attaches. This was an early second birthday present for my daughter and she loves it. We've had it for about 5 weeks and she really enjoys playing with the cups, playing with her toy boats (not included) and squeeze toys (also not included) and splashing in there. The pool IS small but really, most wading pools are small. I had the pool out during a barbecue and I easily fit 3 toddlers in there and there was room for one more. Actually my almost 6 year old was in there too with 2 toddlers. So yes, it's small, but not so small that it is useless. More than one child WILL fit. It's also sturdy. I used to buy an inflatable pool every year, but this one looks like it will last until she outgrows the baby pool stage.I rate this pool with 4 stars not 5 because it does not contain a drain. You have to lift and dump it which is rather inconvenient. Otherwise, however, the pool is excellent.
