Li'l Squirt Baby Wading Pool

Item #: 20973


Babies love cooling off in our gentle tide pool, with extra-soft sprayers to splash in and explore. As baby becomes more comfortable in the water, you can make the "fountains" higher (just turn up the pressure of your garden hose). There's even a pat mat area with floating 3D fish. With fun undersea graphics (tickle a turtle; cover the whales' blow hole!). For ages 12 months and up. Designed by OneStepAhead!

    Comments about One Step Ahead Li'l Squirt Baby Wading Pool:

    We love this splash pad! It doesn't blow up with air, which I love. Those pools get dirty and are a risk for children if left out. We let the pool fill up then turn the faucet down to a very small trinkle. It is just enough to keep the pool inflated. We used it all the time summer 2012, and I as going to buy some more for birthday gifts this summer, but they are unavailable. I am really saddened by this because it is a great product. I did read reviews of others having issues with durability, we always fill our splash pad on the cement and haven't had any issues.

        This product came with a hole in the seam. We called customer service and they were quick and very nice about replacing it. If you are on well water or on a system where the water comes out really cold, dont buy it. My son thought it looked fun until we sat him on it, then he cried the whole time because the water was so cold. You cant leave it out in the sun to warm up the water because it's designed to flow continuously and the water will only come out. We only used it once. Its a great idea for people in areas where the water comes out of the hose warm.

            Not a pool. It is more of a sprinkler. Hard to stay seated on and deflats when water is turned off. Also, water stays cold due to the fact that you don't fill it, just let the water go through and come out the holes.

            We used this 3 times. On the fourth time, a huge seam ripped near the hose attachement just as my daughter was stepping onto the mat. We did not have the water pressure very high either. I expected it to last at least 1 summer, but three times????

            Not worth the money, nor the tears from your toddler when they cannot play on the mat anymore.

            Do not buy.

            Our two 14-month-old grandsons loved this, as did we! Lots of fun for sitting on, crawling on, or standing near. But after less than an hour of gentle use on a grassy, shaded lawn, it sprung a major leak near the hose attachment area, as one of the toddlers crawled onto the mat. Very disappointed. We expected about a season of use from this, but one hour? No way! One Step Ahead did reimburse us — no questions asked, which we appreciated very much.

              A continual flow of water is needed to cause squirting through the pool. My 16 month Baby and her 7 year old playmate both loved it. It's a good pool to use when it's not so hot out because you can hook it to a garage sink and regulate a warmer temperature. It's very fast to assemble and fill.

                Our little one LOVED this but after 1 use it sprung a leak and we were unable to order another one. If it were just a bit more durable we would have given it 4 stars! She asked to play in it for weeks after it broke. :-(

                My 2 YO daughter loves this pool. We've had to buy two of these pools. The first one was busted by my 3 year old nephew jumping on it so that was understandable that it broke at the seam. We bought a second one and was being very careful with it (no jumping children, no excessive water flow) and after maybe 5 uses a seam broke and now the pool is useless. I am very disappointed that this pool cannot even last a summer, much less one month. I also see that [@] isn't carrying this anymore; maybe it has been a recurring issue. I have been happy with this company's products in the past but this one is a lemon.

                  my daughter LOVES this pool! She is only 10months old and its perfect for her and makes me feel super safe that she isnt in a real shallow pool that is potentionally too deep. She gets a kick out of the spinkler action and all the details on the bottom of the pool. A great buy!!

                    From the picture, I thought I would be able to fill this up and let the water get warm and let my daughter play in it, but it's not inflatable at all, the hose must be connected to it. In a way, that's a good thing, because I hate having to blow up toys, and my daughter loved it. Didn't mind the cold water from the hose at all and had a blast trying to catch the little water sprouts.
