Currently, most of their free time from studies and classes, children spend near the TV or computer. However, they have little physical activity. Therefore, parents have a question, what to do with their child in their free time. This question is especially acute during the summer holidays. And if the family has children of different ages, then it is necessary to draw up a rest program so that everyone is interested. The ideal option in this case is the organization of water recreation. But public places do not always meet hygiene standards. Therefore, many are trying to create their own "water" oasis in the country or in a personal plot, acquiring inflatable pools for giving.
Features
Inflatable children's pools have a lot of advantages, namely:
- Acceptable price. Thanks to the huge variety of inflatable pools, everyone can choose it in their own pocket.
- Easy to handle. When installing such a pool, you do not need any special tools and skills. The place of its installation does not depend on the landscape or on the level of groundwater. Pulling a pit for such a pool is not required. You can install it anywhere. The main thing is to remove large debris and branches from the installation site.
- Light weight assembled.
- Compactness. They do not take up much space when folded, so they are convenient for transportation.
- Easy maintenance - the inflatable pool is easy to clean and clean of any stains.
- Resistance to atmospheric precipitation and ultraviolet radiation.
- Absolute safety for children. Inflatable pools are safe because there are no sharp, piercing or cutting parts. But you still need to constantly monitor a small child playing in the water.
At inflatable pools, but not at all, there are also disadvantages:
- Lack of discharge and filtration of water. As a result, another difficulty arises - emptying the pool. For the most part, inflatable pools do not provide for drainage and filtration. However, there are a number of models where they are present.
- Weak fixing of a hill. It happens that the slide is attached to the pool itself using rope mounts, which creates a danger for the child to get injured. Therefore, when choosing it is worth paying attention to.
Types of inflatable pools
Classification of inflatable pools occurs according to the following principles:
- in size and volume;
- according to materials;
- by type of construction.
In size and volume, children's pools are divided mainly into those that are suitable for children under three years of age and older than three. What is their feature? Children under three years old will enjoy more gently sloping pools with sides from 25 to 40 cm, and for older children - with sides from 15 to 25 cm high.
Considering the issue of materials, it should be said that the pool fabric should be well sealed, with a vinyl coating, bright and resistant to fading colors. Particular attention should be paid to whether such products are certified by Rostest as intended for children.
If there are no particular issues with the sizes and materials, then when choosing the type of design, parents simply run their eyes. The assortment is simply huge. The choice of models of inflatable pools is great, and everyone can choose it to their liking.
Model selection
For games in the country for the smallest, it is better to purchase a shallow pool with soft edges and an awning from the sun. In such a mini-pool, the water heats up very quickly. At the same time, the awning will protect the baby from sunlight. This model can be used even at home. Only instead of water fill it with multi-colored plastic balls.
For older children, the choice of pools is much larger. What to stop at? An ideal option for a summer residence is a large children's inflatable pool with a slide or an inflatable play center with labyrinths, slides and fountains.
The selection of such products is huge. You can purchase a pool of any geometric shape (round, square, rectangular), as well as in the form of cars, ships, birds, animals, etc. The package may also include various toys. In addition, the built-in fountain, which is connected via a hose to a water supply or column, is a great entertainment for children.
Also, the repair kit for minor repairs must be included in the kit.
Another important component of any inflatable pool is the presence of a pump. If it is not available in your chosen model, you should consult which device is best to choose for such a product.
Inflatable pool with slide for children
Before choosing a product, it is necessary to determine the place of its storage, when there will be no child in the country. If you do not want to leave the pool on the street, you need to be prepared for the fact that it will need to be constantly brought in and carried out, as well as blow out and blow out again. In addition, inflatable pools for the most part do not provide for the purification and filtration of water. Therefore, the water will need to be changed every 2-3 days. But if you still decide to purchase such a product, it is best to choose a design that provides for its covering.
A large inflatable pool with a slide for children allows you to draw enough water so that the child can fully immerse himself in water in a horizontal position and even learn to swim in it.
In modern versions, there are two types of bottom: flat and inflatable. For kids, models with an inflatable bottom are best suited. This will help prevent injuries in the event of a fall. And for older children, it is better to choose a flat-bottom pool so that it is easy and convenient to walk on. There are models with two tanks.
Since when in contact with water in the open air, special protection from the sun is needed, it is best to choose an inflatable pool for children with a slide and a canopy. The latter can be in the form of a mushroom cap, roof, palm tree, whale tail, etc.
Inflatable play center
What is it? Such children's inflatable pools (game centers) are very popular among those who like to relax in the country with large companies. And not only. Such game centers can accommodate from three children or more. Often their design involves the ability to play for children of different ages thanks to different transitions, slides, etc. What kind of devices can there be? The kit includes, in addition to the slide, various soft plastic multi-colored balls and rings.
Inflatable play centers will allow for joint team games, as well as organize collective skating from the hill or playing ball. A sufficient volume of such structures will allow children to spread around the pool and not interfere with each other. Such complexes are best placed in the shade of trees so that it, protecting from the sun, is not continuous.
Such game centers will allow children to be entertained for a long time and give them a lot of pleasure.
Kids inflatable pools with slide included
If you already have a pool, but you want to make it more interesting, you can separately purchase an inflatable slide in the pool for children to give. But since it can be difficult to install it independently, it is better to pay attention to the products in which it comes with it. It can be inflatable slides designed to equip a large stationary pool. They are more durable and will allow even an adult to ride.
With the correct installation of the inflatable slide during skiing injuries are excluded. If the fabric on the hill is torn, then, due to the fact that it will retain its volume for some time, everyone will be able to safely leave the game complex.
