Intex 57454NP - Ocean Play Center, 254 x 196 x 79 cm

Very happy having chosen this and had a good first season of using it many times with no leaks or problems.Seems sturdy enough to handle several children up to 5 years old using it at once. Nice shallow area proved a hit with babies, while older children loved the variety of the slide and two pool areas.Water warms quickly in the sun in shallow section, and the spray fountains are great fun on hot days. Only criticisms - the surface is quite slippery, and the slide is a bit too floppy - the inflatable supports for it don't really hold it up well enough.Neither of these prevent this being the best paddling pool we have seen.

Fantastic paddling pool. Unfortunately the box was damaged when it arrived, which I didn’t think much of, until it started to deflate within an hour of being inflated. Obviously has a hole. No more in stock so can’t get a replacement and don’t want to break my daughters hearts by sending it back, so going to try and work out where the leak is. Fantastic product, just a shame ours is damaged.

This is a pretty decent sized paddling pool, I was quite surprised by it!I have an electric pump that I used to pump up as much of the pool as possible but it always reached a limit when it wasn't good enough and I struggled to make sure the slide was solid etc. I have since bought the Intex foot pump in a bid to see if this will help as every time I disconnected the electric pump half the air that went in came straight out, so I don't think the valves are amazing.It has draining plugs in the main play area and in the deeper section as well as a safety run out in the deeper pool so it would never get that deep.At the bottom of the slide is an inflated padded area, so the children aren't landing on the lining below directly, the cushioned area takes the main impact - hope this is to reduce tearing etc.The accessories are nice and add another scope of play to the pool.The spray section has a valve which when you connect your hose to you can adjust the pressure, but I found it much easier to just adjust the pressure at the tap so its not putting pressure on the valve directly.I was quite impressed with this, although feel at £39.99 it was a little overpriced, I think £30 is a better price bracket as it doesn't scream amazing quality or that it will last a few years, but it does the job and kids don't care about the other bits, its fun and as long as they are having fun, who cares right!

You will need an electric pump for this! It was way larger than I expected! Our 3 year old loves it. I am shocked how nice it is for the price. I would definitely recommend for anyone with kids ages 2 to 6!

This paddling pool was so much fun while it lasted. My boys wanted to be in it before breakfast till bedtime. They really loved the slide and the water spray from the edge. The pool is also a good size for two energetic boys aged 3 and 4. The inflatable toys that come with it have not been touched.The slide got punctured after a few weeks of heavy use which did not seem to reduce the enjoyment at all for my kids. Eventually I left it our leaning on a fence one night and I think an animal claw (cat? fox?) punctured the side. I tried to patch it up but it was impossible to find all the punctures (I patched 4 up before I gave up).I bought the pirate ship paddling pool too which is still in good working order, but it is half the size and half the fun too! I'm seriously considering buying another ocean play centre.

Perfect for my grandsons who have loved playing in the paddling pool, very well made and colourful. Added extras of toy inflatables have brought hours of fun.

Brilliant paddle pool but it doesn't stay fully inflated longer than 24 hours so have to keep pumping up

Kids loved this, it was for the birthday party of a 6 years old, and boy didnt it go down well with her friends, i couldnt get them out of it to eat, they didnt even play with the bouncy castle we have for her. hours of fun for a great price thank you
