When the nice weather finally came (well and has now gone again!) I thought I would buy my daughter a little paddling pool to enjoy in the back yard....oh how I wish I had a garden!! In a leaflet from Argos that came in the paper I noticed a Chad Valley paddling pool for just £9.99 which I didn't think was a bad price. After a quick shopping trip, I arrived home with the pool and went straight outside and started to inflate. It blows up in two parts, the base which the child sits in, and the inflatable shade. This wasn't too hard and between us my mum and myself managed it within around ten minutes or so, however this would have been much easier and faster with a ...  Read the complete review

I bought my grandson lots of outdoor presents last Christmas as I always think that they come in handy the for the following year as they usually have lots of presents they can play with over the holiday and into the winter months and I thought he would benefit from this one as he would be then walking etc and be able to enjoy it in my garden for when he comes to visit or stay in the summer. It only cost me £9.99 from Argos and it is a durable pvc plastic and it is brightly coloured and it has a nice little hood to cover half of the pool so it can shade the child from the sun and it is very hard to inflate and so a pump is best used for inflating it and my ...  Read the complete review

When my daughter was younger, 18 months to be precise, we bought her this little Chad valley paddling pool so that she could have some water fun in the back garden in the summer. Now a days we use a bigger pool that we bought in replace of this one but since our pump broke several days ago and I didn't fancy bringing about a heart attack by blowing our other one manually, I opted to get this Chad valley one out again as the weather was to hot not too. The Chad valley paddling pool is great value for money costing only £9.99 from Argos. It is suggested for ages 2+ but I don't see a problem in using it below that age as it all depends on how much water ...  Read the complete review

With the lovely weather returning I pulled all the summer toys out from the shed and among them I found this paddling pool. We originally brought this for our daughter when she was a baby and we are now using it again for our son who is 15 months old now. The pool once inflated has the ground area which is simply a normal paddling pools with raised sides to keep water/ balls inside it. The thing that is makes this pool great for me is it has a small section on the top that acts as a roof and protects little ones from the sun. This is made in the shape of a rainbow with all different colours on it so as well as being a protection it is a great visuals for ...  Read the complete review

We haven't had many sunny days so far this year, but on one of the few we did have, we popped out to buy this bright and cheerful paddling pool for MissD. It cost us £10 from Argos. The paddling pool is for ages 2+, has a diameter of 118cm and is 86cm high. It has a rainbow coloured sun shade which covers half the pool (and can switch to either side), and a small inflatable smiley sun that you can hook onto the shade (which has no function but looks cute). Inflating the pool is, as you may expect, a bit of a chore, and a foot pump is an essential (we ended up going back to the shop to buy one). Using a foot pump, it took about 20-30 minutes between ...  Read the complete review
