If they jump on it is it easy to fall backwards and hit their head on the side of the pool?

They did not use that yet but I think that is a good possibility depending on how they land and on it

Good question!! I was worried about that same thing. I always told the kids to keep it away from the edge. But it also didn't seem to ever push them backwards when jumped on. More like they sink straight down I think. But they jumped on it farther out. They also use it to sit on going down our water slide and little ones float on it. Older ones smack each other with it. Multi purpose for sure! : ) Good basic staple for the pool!

No, it is not easy to move when full of water. And that is a good thing, because it wouldn't be as sturdy and stable as it is if it were easy to move. This hoop has withstood a LOT from teenage boys. It performs as well as the neighbor's hoop that is built into the pool deck. Highly recommend it.

Hi, Yes it is very easy and quick to blow up at the pool. It is just as it looks in the picture.

Depends on how young. If they are under two, yes! It is a great pool and my daughter who is 21 months loves this pool. So does her cousins who are 5 years old.

No, not at all. An adult can step over easily. My 2 year old couldn't climb in, but if I went in first it was easy to pick her up by reaching over the edge of the pool. Just make sure you have level ground or the water level in the pool will be off and you may have trouble keeping it above the filter inlet/outlet without it overflowing on the other side.

how tall are your kids? that is crazy. I doubt they can jump that high and hit there heads. not even an adult could. well maybe but they would be over the weight limit and break it!!

Unfortunately it isn't. It is very thin on the bottom and even when filled with the air it allows, the padding/bottom of the pool is insufficient to protect your baby from feeling the concrete straight through.

Yes, the chacters float on the water to make it easy for the child to catch. This was one of my grandsons go-to bath toys. We also put foam letters or numbers in the water and caught those too. Lots of fun to be had with this set.

Stable if the sides are undisturbed, but not sturdy. This pool has no rigid sidewalls. The upper rim must be air-filled. It then floats as the water level rises. One of the challenges of this pool is that entry must occur without significantly depressing the side walls, as that would allow water to rush over the lowered section. The walls taper in, thus a straddle of them requires stance with not only sufficient height but also sufficient width. That said, friends of our maintain a larger diameter Intex pool of the same design at less than full in order to allow their 3 & 5 year olds to easily climb over the edge.

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.

It is a straight stream, but, yes, some could blow back on you. The windier it is, the harder to hit your target.

No. They are made of foam. Not much bounce at all. And soft when they hit during dodgeball. So no injuries.

I have noticed they are all accurately adjusted to hit the rear part. If the water is not on target, adjust yourself by moving back or forward.

I'm not sure,but we had kids almost 100lbs sliding on it with no problem. Where we went wrong was letting them pull it into the pool. It sounded innocent enough, except when the heavier kids started trying to climb out of the water onto the ladder part their entire weight was pulling on plastic seams. Once the ladder portion had a hole in it, we had ourselves a really odd pool float. I think if you buy this for kids up to 10 years old you'll be fine. Not to take money out of Amazon's wallet, but I have seen this same slide at Walmart.

I don't think so, it's been a great little float for having the little one next to me in the pool, but I would not trust it for real life saving duty. A determined kid could pretty easily get into a dangerous situation with it.

I would say it is not easy. Not super difficult but not easy. if you can pull yourself out of a pool without a ladder or step then you can do it.

The simple answer is yes but I would recommend only putting the head under the water.
