Best type of paddling pool?

[Daffodilly]

Desperately need to replace last year's sad and limp affair.

Looking for something smallish (under 5ft diameter) for 2 kids to play in small back graden. Do I want inflatable (I hate blowing anything up!) or are those pop up ones any good?

tbh we end up buying one of the 3 ring pools every yr (about £3 in tesco) we use it all summer, with the slide in it/ballpool balls,
then at the end of the summer we bin it!
we have done that the last 3 yrs,will probably do the same this yr.

depends what age your kids are, ours are 2yo, 5yo and nearly 7yo,we cant have anything too deep incase our 2yo slips.

if your kids are older then an 8ft easy up one would be good,you get ones with a filter and cover too,so you dont have to keep refilling it.

Thanks for that. Think I might follow your lead on a new one each year and save storing it all winter too.

you can get a little electric/battery pump that works on them too :)
