Recommendations for a kiddie pool?

Kelly Madonna

I think I want to get one today, any recommendations anyone?

We've gone through several blow-up ones and they always got a weird funky slime in them right away, even though we drained the water daily and it's obviously very dry here. We ended up getting a small, hard-sided pool from Petsmart, of all places. We liked the small one because we did drain it daily, it was less water to refill and it warmed up quicker. I think I've seen the small pools at Frys and maybe Walmart, too.

We had that hard one from Frys last summer & the heat cracked it pretty quickly. Hmm, not sure what to try then!

The $8 plastic one from Walmart. Just don't store it in the sun when you are done.

We have an AWESOME and indestructible  kiddie pool but unfortunately it's not made anymore. It's made by Step 2 and is hard plastic with a drain plug in the bottom. I know this isn't much help if you really want one today, but if you look I occasionally see them on Craigslist or other such sites.

Search for "Step 2 Big Splash." This is what it looks like:

Do Not get the one from Frys that is blue and white with 4 seats and 2 cupholders.  It doesn't have a DRAIN.  Wtf manufactures a kiddie pool with no drain.  Unbelievable waste of $45.  Sorry, I needed to vent but want to make sure that you don't get ripped off either.
