Finding a compact outdoor summer play center for the kids that allows for water play can be quite a challenge. Often they are big and cmbersome, and if you don’t have a lot of yard space then it can be disappointing trying to find an item that will please the kids and accomodate the space. There may be a great solution for this called the Intex Rainbow Ring Inflatable Play Center.
Overview
The Intex Rainbow Ring Inflatable Play Center is an inflatable play center/pool that has a bundle of activities included.
The Claim
The claim is that this unit will entertain children for hours by providing a variety of activities coupled with the pool feature to cool the kiddies down on a hot day.
The Hype
The hype surrounding the Intex Rainbow Ring Inflatable Play Center is the ease of use and set up in conjunction with the wide variety of activities provided in order to keep the children entertained and cool in the summer months.
The Cost
The cost of the Intex Rainbow Ring is a reasonable $38.65 at Amazon.
The Commitment
The commitment for this unit is a little heavier than most items we have recently previewed. You will need a compressor or pump to help you in blowing up the unit. The company suggests that you are able to blow up without mechanical help but as any parent will tell you the amount of air required to get this play center is going to be a little more than an average blow up. You will also need to drain the pool occasionally in order to keep the water fresh and the pool free of slime and algae.
Evaluation
Intex has been making pools and inflatable items for many years and have found their groove. The quality of the gear they make is top notch and very durable and will last for many summers. The activities provided in this particular unit are excellent for the smaller children and will keep them entertained for many hours. The slide and pool feature will also appeal to the little ones and make the long summer days much more fun and give Moms and Dads the chance to cool the kiddies down in a fun and safe way. The unit will appeal to kids from age 2 to about 4 or 5. If the children are any older than this or bigger they will have a difficult time making use of this unit mainly due to the size and depth. Having said that, for the ages it is designed for it is an excellent little play center for the backyard.
