I bought a bargain pool from Smyths – you don’t have to blow it up, dogs can’t pop it AND it folds down tiny for storage

THERE’S nothing worse than spending 20 minutes blowing up a paddling pool, only for the kids to play in it for a split second and leaving you to put it all away.

But has shared her buy from a local toy shop that’s changed the game for

Liv took to her TikTok page to post a video raving about the £64.99 Portable Folding Pool she nabbed from her local Smyths Toy Superstores.

In the clip, she showed how easy it was to up – unfolding it from the box and pulling out the stands attached to the sides for added stability.

Liv was then seen filling the pool up, before adding some inflatables and a kids’ slide for her daughter to enjoy in the water.

“!”; she captioned her video

“No dogs popping it, no blowing it up & deflating it – literally open it up and fold it back down!”;

In another video, Liv responded to people questioning how “sturdy”; the pool is, as she demonstrated by giving it a push.

While she could push the sides inwards a little, it wasn’t enough to cause any water to flow out of the pool.

Whereas from the inside, the sides were impossible to push outwards.

“Got this last summer, it’s amazing,”; one person commented on Liv’s video.

“Didn’t come out of the shed with holes like the other pools!”;

“Oh wow how cool is that?”; another raved.

“Fuming at all the years I’ve spent blowing pools up, or building frames!”;

“What?!”; a third marvelled.

“That’s so much easier!

“I was about to buy a blow up one but I guess I’m going to Smyths!”;

“I just went and bought that same pool today, it’s amazing,”; someone else said.

While another asked whether or not the pool was suitable for “older children”;.

“Mine are 6 & 7 and had loads of fun in it with their friends,”; Liv replied.

“It’s not deep enough to properly swim but good to play around and go under water.”;

“Does it come with a cover?”; someone else asked.

To which Liv said: “I’ve just ordered the cover for this – £7.99 Smyths”;.

“Can you have a filter on it please?”; another questioned.

With Liv replying: “No, I have just put a chlorine float in and will use a net to get any dirt out”;.
