We don't but I considered buying one but I'll wait until the temps get above 80 again. Currently in a cold spell here in Seattle.

Yep! It's pretty kiddie but I've had it since last summer... I figure DD can use it till at least 4-5! We also have a water table, and we have pools/splash pads available nearby so having a pool-like thing in the backyard is not the most important.

Yes. LO got it for his first birthday. My parents have a water table at their house. He preferred the water table last summer, but so far this year (2 years old) he has enjoyed both.

Yes, it's like the best $7 spent! He especially loved it when he was around 1, but even now it's great to be able to splash around on a hot day.

Totally off topic and random but I just opened HB and was distracted as I was doing it and misread this topic header as "Do you own a kidnap pool" and I was like what is a kidnap pool?!?!?! Then I looked closer and was like ooooh yeah kiddie pool. Just thought Id share a laugh!

Yes we have this one and love it. It's tiny but great for babies that like to fall a lot, and the shade is nice for our super sunny property.

@bluestriped bee: get one as soon as it's warm enough! I think it's way better before they can crawl. I don't think your kiddos are crawling yet are they? Can't remember. Anyways. Summer fun!

@junebugsmama: DS is crawling. DD is just starting to crawl.
I should have gotten one last month because there was a good week where it was in the high 80s. I think I'll grab one soon if it gets warm soon.

@Mrs. Turtle: Oh, that's nice. We might be moving soon and I didn't want to buy one of those plastic ones and have to worry about transporting it. The inflatable one looks great! It should be easy to take with us.
Can you get it from Amazon?

@bluestriped bee: $9 at Walmart. Probably not big enough for the twins for longer than this summer, but I love it for T who is crawling and climbing and pulling up. It's inflatable even on the bottom so if (when) he falls he just bounces. I put about an inch of water in and he is entertained for 45 min plus.

I want to get one. I figure when it's too cold we can just leave it dry and have it be a little play pit with some toys.

@Mrs. Turtle: We just got one similar to yours! It's an inflatable orange fish with a shade thing from Amazon. DS looooves it.
@bluestriped bee: Get the foot pump to blow it up if you go with an inflatable one!

We have a small inflatable one we use at the beach. We pull it out from time to time (like today!) for a quick thing to do when we don't feel like packing everything up to go to the neighborhood pool.

We had an inflatable mushroom pool that we purchased from Amazon. LO enjoyed it, but it was a pain for me to inflate, fill and then empty it. Since it was a hassle, I didn't pull it out that often. Now we belong to a community pool down the street, and we enjoy the kidding pool there. Just enjoy and walk away when you're done. Can't get simpler than that.

Yep! We just broke it out last week and it will get a lot of use.
