Parents are loving a paddling pool ball pit from Amazon that offers hours of activity for children both inside and outside. The Peradix Ball Pit PLay Tent/Paddling Pool 2-in-1 is a versatile product that can be used inside when the weather is wet or in the garden when the sun is out and it even features a handy sunshade to keep them safe when it's too hot in the sun.
Costing £30, the paddling pool playpen is currently on a limited time deal on the site with an original price of £35 being knocked down by 15%, and with Prime Day just around the corner this is only the start of the brilliant summer deals. The pool itself is relatively deep and features a shade that is made from anti-UV fabric and a basketball hoop that can be attached or detached whenever.
While the price point is great, shoppers appear to be loving this product regardless of whether it's on offer or not, awarding it an overall star rating of 4.4 with a multitude of raving reviews.
One shopper who loved the product wrote: “If I could give this thing 500 stars I would. The key selling point is that it pops up beautifully and it also folds easily into a tiny, compact, flat circle. It's amazing. It's big enough to fit my 6 year old and 18 month old twins when it is open. It's a really good buy!”
A second parent whose child spent hours playing in the pool said: “I am very pleased that I bought this pool for my kids. This has occupied them for hours, it's always so much fun and can be used indoors and outdoors. This product is a great quality, not easy to damage, which could be the case with many of similar products.
The £23 game changer item for flights that helps sleep & stops headaches"The colour is very pleasant and the perfect size. Pool does not have any leakage and the sunshade is just perfect for outdoor fun. Kids absolutely love it, it can fit anywhere and very easy to fold and unfold. It's also an absolute bargain for what you are getting.”
Another shared: “Easy to assemble, slightly trickier to put away but the instructions do help. Used both as a shady tent and water pool and had no issues. I like that it comes with spare patches to mend the bottom should a tear appear. Comes with a handy carry bag also. The wrinkles disappear the longer it is up but doesn't affect use.”
While a fourth customer remarked: “Very easy to put together, very good size for toddlers, makes for a good ball pit and a good pool!”
Despite the majority of shoppers loving the product, some weren’t so pleased with what they had purchased. One said: “Very disappointing. Flimsy material - we got this out once then put it away and when we got it out again it's misshapen. Also nearly impossible to put away.”
And a second penned: “It's great as a little ball pit but don't bother for use as a paddling pool. It loses its shape with water in it.”
For those wanting a paddling pool option with a shade covering the entire thing, The Range is selling a £35 Intex Inflatable Sun Shade Pool in a beautiful purple colour. Perfect for keeping the kids in the shade, this will allow the children to have fun while keeping slightly cooler.
Or if you have slightly older children who love a bit of water fun then the H2O GO! 16ft Slip ‘N’ Slide costing £23 could be the perfect option for keeping them and their friends busy for hours.
