What is a better way to jump in to summer, than to get wet in the fabulous Sun Smarties Pop-Up Pool from One Step Ahead? Our weather has been wacky and we are just now able to get outside, soak up the sun and let the kids enjoy time in their Sun Smarties Pop-Up Pool. Kambry is 19 months old and Tucker is 3 ½.

We’ll give you four great reasons to love this kids’ swimming pool!
- It features a UPF 50+ canopy that you can reposition to follow the sun, keeping kids safely shaded all day.
- It pops up instantly right out of the box; no setup required.
- Because it’s self-standing, it can double as a ball pit — an incredible feature and even more incredible value! (100 Extra Balls sold separately, shown here with 500 balls).
- Unlike others, it’s rugged and puncture-resistant for longevity. Stay-clean cover and storage bag included. 57″ diameter x 15″H.For ages 3 and up. Exclusively Ours!
I looked around for a while locally, but the hard plastic pools just didn’t appeal to me at all. What I wanted was something lightweight, portable, big enough for the kids to play and have fun in, nothing too small and something that was nice on the pocketbook.


We have a nice size yard and with the Sun Smarties Pop-Up Pool, it is the perfect addition to it. I love how the set up process was to get the pool in place. I love how the pool feels and how durable it is, even with it being so lightweight. With all our traveling we have planned this summer, the fact that it folds up so small is perfect for packing and storing.

One more thing that I LOVE about the Sun Smarties Pop-Up Pool is that it doesn’t have to just be used as a swimming pool for the kids; it can also double as a fun ball pit! Oh, I can totally see myself in there playing.

We will be getting some more pictures and videos today to add to this post since our weather is finally cooperating! Check back for those.
