Inflatable Swimming Pools: Infant, Toddler And Children
By:
Published: November 27, 2006
Inflatable pools are an inexpensive alternative to buying inground swimming pools. There are many different types of inflatable pools on the market including specific designs for particular age groups like infants, toddlers and children.
When choosing swimming pools for infants, it is important to remember the possibility of any human to drown in a few inches of water.
Keeping this in mind, search for an inflatable pool that will only hold no more than six inches of water. There are many different companies that offer such products that also incorporate bright colors and dangling objects to keep the attention of any infant. Inflateus.com sells one with all these options for only $11.99 plus shipping and handling.
Toddlers are a little larger and can be trusted a little more with staying above the water, nevertheless, they should not be left alone. These inflatable pools are generally larger than the infant pools and require more water and more inflation. Fortunately they come with a drain for emptying and fold up quite nicely for storage purposes. Toys2wish4.com sells swimming pools for toddlers for only $22.25 plus shipping and handling. They suggest that the pool can double up as an adult lounge.
Children pools can be much larger and usually can be considered an adult pool as well. Toys R Us offers numerous amounts of different swimming pools to choose from, ranging in a 12’ x 36’ round pool to a gigantic 45’ x 18’ x 52’’ oval pool. These types of pools generally need a skimmer, a ladder and a filter. Routine maintenance and cleaning are required. Prices range from a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand.
An inflatable pool may sound like a good choice, but Consumer Reports warns of safety hazards. They estimate that one out of every five inflatable pool sold in the U.S. every year poses risks unknown to the purchaser or manufacturer. 250 children under the age of five drown in pools each year, and another 1,800 are treated for submersion injuries. This may be because of the fact that most people do not put a fence around their inflatable pools. When thinking about purchasing swimming pools, remember that without a fence, it's an accident waiting to happen.
