The Best Kiddie Pools You Can Buy Now

Last year, amid the pandemic along with toilet paper, kiddie pools were a scarce commodity as most of us used whatever patch of grass or concrete sidewalk we could find to cool off the kids. And while we are excited that city pools and beaches are back open, inflatable pools are still a popular way for our kids to cool down.

The good news is there are really cool pools that, while being in the ‘kiddie’ aisle, even the adults can step in and enjoy. And while kiddie pools may not be as deep as a city pool or a backyard pool, safety is just as important. Safety pool experts say to empty the pool after use, even if there is a small amount of water in the pool. For more safety and cleaning tips, we strongly recommend visiting CDC Safety Guidelines.
