Summer is here, which means it's time to enjoy water activities outdoors. While kids aren't always eager to take a dip in an outdoor shower, they're ready to spend the entire day in an inflatable pool. To ensure this fun activity doesn't turn into disappointment for both young and old, we've compiled a ranking of the most popular inflatable children's pools for 2027.
10. Intex Crystal Blue
Age – 2-6 years.
This 132-liter inflatable pool has a shallow depth of just 25 centimeters and a hard bottom, making it ideal for small children looking for a cool splash on a hot day. It's also suitable for small pets.
The Intex Crystal Blue material is moderately dense and doesn't leak or deflate. Even if such a problem does occur, the low price allows you to buy a new pool for next season.
The pool's light weight (0.88 kg) and dimensions ensure easy transportation or even carrying it in a bag to a new location.
9. Intex Aquarium
Age – from 2 years.
This beautiful, spacious 400-liter inflatable children's pool has a depth of 56 centimeters and a soft inflatable bottom. Its durable and comfortable design allows two children to splash around in the Intex Aquarium at once. According to user reviews, this pool is large enough to accommodate both a child and an adult looking to cool off on a hot summer day.
And thanks to its beautiful exterior with underwater motifs, this pool will look right at home in both a summer cottage and a private courtyard. A repair kit and drain valve are included with the pool.
8. Bestway Deep Dive
Age – 2-6 years.
This good, affordable inflatable pool for children has a depth of 30 meters and a capacity of 282 liters. It comes with a patch for quickly fixing any leaks. However, like most inexpensive models, there's no pump.
7. Jilong Figure-8
Age – 2-6 years.
This inflatable weighs only 2.26 kg, folds easily and has a drain plug for quick emptying.
Its soft, high sides are decorated with pictures of fish and other underwater creatures, making it a favorite among children. Adults will appreciate the fact that the pool sits securely on a level surface and comes with a self-adhesive patch.
6. Jilong Frog
Age – from 2 years.
This fun inflatable frog features a stable design. Only the top ring inflates, providing spatial stability for the entire pool. This model is perfect for a dacha or country house with no water issues, as the pool needs to be filled completely to fully inflate. Its capacity is 1,143 liters.
But the Jilong Frog can accommodate not only a child, but also an adult.
5. Intex Lil' Whale Baby
Age – 1-2 years.
If you're concerned about a small child swallowing water in a wide and deep pool, consider this model. It's one of the best inflatable pools for small children, with a depth of just 10 centimeters and a small capacity of 57 liters.
A child under 2 years old will be comfortable in it, and the mother will not have to worry about his safety.
4. Mondo Hello Kitty
Age – from 2 years.
This spacious (150 cm in diameter, 42 cm in depth) and 593-liter pool features a cheerful Hello Kitty-themed design and a stable, hard bottom. It's perfect for both water activities and playing with dry balls while parents are busy.
The product consists of three compartments, each of which must be inflated separately using a hand pump.
3. Intex Easy Set
Age – from 3 years.
With a capacity of 3,854 litres, a diameter of 305 cm and a depth of 76 cm, this massive pool is perfect for water parties for the whole family, with room for a few more friends.
Soft, round sides prevent injuries, and its depth is comfortable for both children and adults.
In addition to the 10.20-kilogram unit, the kit also includes a water pump and cartridge filter. Despite its considerable weight, this model is easy to maintain and, according to user reviews, lasts up to 10 years. Therefore, it's completely worth the price.
The only drawback of the Intex Easy Set is that it requires a perfectly flat surface for installation, so you may have to concrete a separate area.
2. Bestway Pirate Play
Age – from 2 years.
Yo-ho-ho, brave pirates, it's adventure time! Grab your inflatable sabers (included) and board the pirate ship to use the sprinkler cannon to show everyone who's boss.
And it's not at all necessary for a child to become the captain; the Bestway Pirate Play Game Center, with its rigid bottom, is so durable that it can easily support an adult who wants to dive into both the water and the romance of a pirate.
1. Bestway Splash-in-Shade Play
Age – 2-6 years.
A distinctive feature of this pool is its canopy, which will protect little ones from the intense summer sun and, consequently, from overheating. It has a large capacity of 1,688 liters and a width of 244 cm, making it an excellent choice for families with 3-5 children.
However, due to its heavy weight of 14.2 kilograms, transporting the deflated pool by hand over long distances will be difficult.
