Would this pool be good for an indoor ball pit for a 1 year old?

Maybe. It's kind of small for that, though. Shallow and small. Check the dimensions to make sure it suits your needs.

Hi there, we used it indoors also with toys (kept them all in one place!) and to lay down with a bottle. The pool is not very deep, when laying down, the edge is like a pillow. I think you could easily put it inside an fill it with balls, it wouldn't be deep, maybe 2 tennis balls deep, but I think that would be enough for a 1 year old.

We have 400 and it's just enough for it to be considered a ball pit, but not super deep or anything. 200 more would probably be ideal IMO. I found the best deal on the balls at BRU ($20 for 200).

I got this to use as a ball pit at the birthday party when my son turned one. The one year old babies played in it at the same time with it full of balls, no problem. I hope this helps

No this is a very soft indoor only ball and would likely shred and wear down real fast.

The ball pit area is about 3' by 4' and maybe 9" deep. It is big enough for a six year old to lay in, but not hide very well. It is also the "pool" for the water if you put the hose attachment on the slide.

Absolutely. Bought this for my 2-year old twins as a ball pit. Mine is under inflated so that the twins can get in and out on their own. Also another user is correct, you need a lot of balls. I have 1200 5.5 ml balls in my ball pit.

I use my for a ball pit that has 1,800 balls in it and I have had four little ones in there playing with plenty of room. But swimming maybe a whole different story.

No - the water inside holds up the exterior walls along with the help of the inflatable ring. The 'lip' of the pool will fall in if it is not inflated/filled properly. My daughter began using this size pool when she was 2 - your 3 and 5 year old should be fine with appropriate adult supervision.

It's pretty small to be used as a ball poll playground. It may also be too shallow for a 6mos old inside a float. It would be better to find a baby pool or kid pool that is a little wider and maybe deeper.

Yes! Absolutely! Ours was purchased for a two year old and has been used as an indoor toy. It is still in perfect condition even after used a great deal by two little ones.

I think it wud be small as a ball pit. It doesn't have so much room to play. I got this for my 1yr old baby & she just got enough area to just sit and play.

It is actually the perfect size for a ball pit! The door would be the only problem but it would actually work almost perfectly! I think that is a great idea!

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 suppose you could put it in a kiddie pool. Arranged in a circle it's less than 4 feet in diameter, so pretty much any pool would work.

I think so. We use it as a tub every night for our son (in a stand up shower stall) and he's quite comfortable. He's almost 3 & 37 lbs, so also a big kid. It's similar in size/quality to his old ball pit. Never thought to buy a pool for that use but great idea!

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.

I would not recommend it for the simple reason that the bottom could tear easily with a dog's nails. The edges also bend down easily, and she could step on and let all the water out. I would recommend a hard shell pool of some sort.
