Dear Alison,
With the heatwave that hit lately and deeply understanding wanting to keep kids out of the house and active this summer, I got your back. I've never had high regard for plastic inflatable pools because they DO often seem ugly and cheaply made, but lately I've been noticing a number of more stylish solutions. One caveat, however, is that by and large these pools get some really heavy usage and aren't bulletproof, so don't expect any of them to last for many years. But, hey, if they give your child a summer of joy and then a stick goes through the side by accident at the end of August, maybe it's had a good life.
Nevertheless, I'd shy away from those that are really cheap and tend to be made of thinner material. On to the list!
