Our grandchild 1.8 years has the pool visitors, especially now in the hot days it comes off and equal pure. When the pool was we pumped him directly if you have the right pump has going there fast. Play is also still a lot to it, the three small mushrooms and the three attached with Velcro to the "Holmen" "star". For age just right, I would buy it again, but next summer has determined her a Major.
