Top 8 inflatable Infant Pools for Some Summer Splashing Fun

Summer days can be hot and miserable. This can pose a problem if you want to be able to take your infant or toddler outside and be able to enjoy it. An inflatable pool is a great option to have when you are looking for an outdoor activity. There are so many different ones to choose from but they all have the same idea; to be able to get you and your child outside on a beautiful summer day.

They require very little space, either inflated or in storage and they are easy to inflate and fill with water. Depending on the child's age you can fill up the pool with as much water as needed. It is a great way to get your child outdoors and keep them cool and comfortable. They are versatile too. During the winter when they can't go outside and use it? Bring it inside and use it as a ball pit. Every kid loves a ball pit. That will keep your little one even more entertained. So what are you waiting for? Grab your sunscreen, your hat and your pump and lets go swimming. 

**But always remember to never leave a child unattended in or around a pool.**
