Does anyone have experience with using this as a travel pool for a 1 year old? We are going on a cruise and want our lo to be able to use it poolside.

I think that it would work for that purpose. Mine didn't hold air like it should have and I ultimately just tossed it out. I considered keeping it to use as a pool for our little one in the summer. You do need to be able to drain it where you use it... it will most likely just collapse if you try to pick it up to move and dump the water.... Hope this helps!

We love it, but it's really a little tub that fits into a regular sized tub, not so much a baby pool. That might be perfect for what you want for traveling, but wanted to make sure you knew it was relatively small. Not a bad idea, though to use it the way you are planning. It is pretty well made and sturdy for an inflatable tub, though there is no real cushion on the bottom (you may not need that anyway).

Yes it is an excellent travel crib. We have taken it on many trips. Very easy to set up and take down.

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun. Good luck, Cathy

Not too sure, but don't think so,we had a shower on the cruise liner we end on and what we did was put it on the floor outside and used the shower hose,if your shower has one, to fill up the bath. My son loved it .We are actually taking it on holiday with us again even though he is getting a bit big for it as it is a safe way to bath when you don't have any of your non slip things with you. I highly recommend this product.

we have had 6 12-14 year olds in at one time and they had plenty of room to horseplay/swim around etc..not really good for lap type swimming....if on floats you could have about 4 rafts in and be ok.

Yes. We have 1 and 2 year old grandkids and they had a ball with this water table in the summer heat. The one year old can easily stand on the ground and reach over the side into the water.

I don't think it's big enough for swimming, even for a 1-month old. My 1 year old can sit in it comfortably, but cannot lay in it at all.

I wouldn't use this as a true travel bed. It's great to use as a place to nap or an extra bed for (toddler) visitors. Instead, I recommend the Intex Kidz Travel Bed for true traveling (by air or ship). The Leachco is good for traveling by car but too bulky (in my opinion) for other modes of travel.

No. It is too small and a bit shaky. I highly recommend a Phil & Teds travel crib. A bit more expensive but I was able to use the Phil & teds until my baby was 3. Years old. Got my money's worth out of it.

I would highly recommend this for travel. Unless you need something to let the little one play in, I would pick this over the pack n play. My little one sleeps better in the rocker than she ever did in the pack n play and you don't have to worry about the assembly either.

I love this little pool. Our grandson is 16 months and he sat in it with our 8 year old granddaughter. But I would say two 18 month olds and no more. We bought him this little one and my grandaughter the bigger Intex.

We use ours as a ball and stuffed animal pit right now so no swimming yet as it's not warm enough outside. But I have not sat in it because it's very small and my 5'2 frame and kiddo probably wouldn't fit in there. Our kiddo "runs" and jumps into it and no tears that way. We also have a big dog roughly 70 pounds that runs around like crazy and she has stepped in it a few times by accident and it's fine. Hope this helps.

It's perfect for an 18 month old! My niece loves it! My 3 year absolutely loves it too! � I just put it on the grass because it makes me nervous with them getting out and going down the slide constantly. I don't want them to slip and hit their head....but that has nothing to do with the pool. Toddlers are just clumsy.�

It only lasted 1 summer in pool water, salt water may cause blockage in the access tube. For the price I'd buy it and let the kids use it as long as it lasts....

I think it depends on the baby - we used it for travel but my son also like to play in it. Though I thought it was a little small he seemed not to mind.

Not at all. We got it for my daughter's first birthday party. We had her, her cousin who's 4 months older, a two year old, and a three year old. They all had a blast. As with any pool, you'll want to help him/her on the slide and with the toys. The water filled to about 2.5 inches in the bottom of te pool and about 4 inches in the wading pool behind the slide.
