I'm looking for a good, easy to put up and take down kiddie pool. Preferably with a soft bottom and sun shade. I tried the jungle canopy one today and my son hated it. Besides, the darn thing kept collapsing and it was a pain to inflate.
Thanks!
We went through a few different inflatable pools. There was not one I liked. They either get slimy, you can't drain them because they don't have a spout,or the top gets hot in the sun. I hated all of them. I ended up getting a hard plastic round pool. It has a mini slide and a little steps wih a railing. It has a drain spout and is super easy to wipe out because it's plastic. I found it at Walmart and it was the best pool we purchased in 4 summers! If it's real sunny, I just put up the beach umbrella. So, if you have storage space, I recommend something like I described and stay away from the inflatable crap.
side note: I do take a small inflatable to the beach for the baby though. She loves splashing around in it!

We had this one last year, https://www.amazon.com/Intex-56471EP-Sun-Shade-Pool/dp/B00003007K/ref=sr_1_45?ie=UTF8&qid=1337534849&sr=8-45 It was a pain to keep the shade on if it was really windy, but it served it's purpose for the time.
But this year, we are getting a bigger pool all of us can swim in and will put DD in a float. She'll never be alone in it.
