To think a 30 inch deep pool needs a fence?

[Eggybreadleg]

We are considering one of these best ways 12 foot inflatable pools for the kids. The sides are about 3 feet tall and the water is 30 inches deep. We have a 3.5 year old and I think that's too deep for a pool that will just be plonked in the middle of the garden with no safety cover or fence. DH thinks it's fine because he can stand.

I wouldn’t take the risk of getting it at all in those circumstances. Even with a fence, there’s a high chance of the gate being left open and your youngest finding their way out there.

Drowning is silent and can happen in very shallow water.
