Looking for a Kiddie Pool with Something over It for Shade

I am looking for a kiddie pool for my kids, but I'd like one with something that provides shade. The ones I keep reading about online all have bad reviews. I'm wondering if any of you have a kiddie pool big enough for three 1 year olds and a 3 year old that keeps them shaded while splashing in the water. Or if you just have a pool that your family loves that's durable, please share. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Check the pool supply stores or online pool catalogues. You may pay a little more, but they have better floaties and such and some just for babies.

Good luck!

Hi M.,

You could put a couple beach/golf umbrellas up by the side of your pool. Or rig something up with a tarp (or old sheet or tablecloth or .....) and a few poles, or clothespin the tarp to your clothesline. No shade trees in yard? bummer....

Good luck

Personally I would purchase two seperate items. There are easy to set up covers that you can use for other activities. This way you can put the pool out early, uncovered so the water temp will get warmer and then put the awning out when the kids go out! You can move it as the sun moves, and you should be able to sit a chair for you in the shade as well. When the pool is not in use, you can use it for picnics, sporting events as the kids get older. When my kids were younger, they didn't have kiddy pools with shades and this is how we managed. Hope this helps!
