Toys R Us has Intex inflatable above ground pools on sale. Just the right size for smaller kids who are learning to swim. Most of the negative reviews on TRU are people complaining that it doesn’t work well on uneven ground. Duh, it needs to be placed on a hard, flat, even surface. Concrete slab or brick patio would be ideal. The Amazom reviews are more realistic from people who have some common sense.

10′ x 30″ on sale for $ 60($ 10 off)

12′ x 30″ on sale for $ 90($ 10 off)

15′ x 36″ on sale for $ 150($ 50 off) –> Best deal IMHO

Free in-store pick-up.

For comparison, Amazon has the 15′ x 36″ for $ 199
