SELLOTZ 120 x 72 x 22-Inch Inflatable Pool for Kids and Adults
Product description
What it is
The SELLOTZ Inflatable Pool is a family-sized, rectangular wading pool designed for backyard use. With dimensions of 120" x 72" x 22" and a 312-gallon water capacity, it’s suited for outdoor summer play for both kids (ages 3+) and adults. The pool doubles as a ball pit for indoor play when weather isn’t cooperating, making it a versatile option for varying seasons.
Who it’s for
If you’re looking to entertain a small group in your yard—whether kids, pets, or a few adults—this pool aims to accommodate up to 2 adults plus 3–5 kids at once. It’s positioned as a convenient, family-friendly option for weekend water parties, lounging, and light backyard recreation.
Why it might make sense
On paper, this pool offers a combination of size, stability, and durability at a price point that often fits family budgets. The oversized footprint provides room to splash around without feeling cramped, and the thickened construction is intended to reduce punctures and extend life. A quick setup (3–4 minutes with an electric pump, not included) plus built-in drainage features can simplify seasonal storage and cleanup.
What stands out in use
- 3 separate air chambers with double intake and exhaust valves help in maintaining shape and safety, even when partially filled.
- Drainage is designed to be straightforward, with a 90° drainage pipe that speeds up water removal and tidying up after a party.
- The materials are described as BPA-free and lead-free, aligning with general safety expectations for family pools.
Potential limitations or trade-offs
This is not a compact or quick-dip pool—it’s sizeable and heavy when filled, which may affect placement and storage. While the description emphasizes thickness and puncture resistance, no independent performance tests are provided here, so real-world durability will depend on care and usage. Also, for households with very small children, supervision remains essential, a pool this size can still pose a drowning risk.
How it compares to alternatives
If you want something that doubles as a ball pit and offers substantial water capacity, this SELLOTZ model provides a practical compromise between simple blow-up pools and more elaborate permanent setups. It won’t match the sturdiness of a full-frame hard-sided pool, but it’s easier to store in off-season and simpler to set up for spontaneous backyard parties.
Before you buy: what to check
- Ensure you have a flat, debris-free surface to reduce puncture risk.
- Consider where you’ll store the pool during the off-season and whether you have a pump (not included) to speed up inflation.
- Check height allowances in your yard and whether the drainage route is convenient for you.
- Think about seating or lounging options nearby since this pool is large enough to accommodate several people at once.
Practical use example
Imagine a sunny weekend: this pool laid out on the grass, kids splashing happily while a couple of adults relax at the edge with towels and sunblock within arm’s reach. When the fun winds down, the built-in valves and 90° drain let you pull the water out and fold it away for easier storage.
FAQ snapshot
- Is it suitable for toddlers? It’s designed for ages 3+ with adult supervision.
- How long does setup take? About 3–4 minutes with an electric pump (not included).
- Can it be used indoors? It can be repurposed as a ball pit indoors when not used as a pool.
Final decision: Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you prioritize a large, multipurpose backyard pool that’s easy to set up and store, and you want room for both kids and adults to share a splash. It may not be the best option if you need a compact or ultra-durable, year-round installation. If you value quick setup, a sizable play area, and a reasonable price for family use, this SELLOTZ pool could fit your summer plans.
