Customers Say
Spacious, sturdy paddling pool loved by kids, with fun features like a steering wheel. The shaded roof offers sun protection but often leaks air and struggles to stay upright.

Great fun
Great fun for 2 yr old and 17 month old. They were able to get in and out without too much trouble. The steering wheel is stronger than I expected and the horn has a little squeak which is lovely. Top comes off but is a nice touch to keep the sun off.

Went down over night
Bought this on Tuesday 26th May 2026 and the bottom ring went down over night, I've had to pump it back up daily to use as the bottom ring keeps going down so very disappointed
Pool
Fun but leaks air slightly
Great fun - the children enjoy it but the shade must be leaking slightly as it needs a little pumping up every day
Steve
Pool great, shaded attachment doesn’t function
We’ve had the pool out for a few days already and the pool itself is very good, sturdy and a decent size. The major disappointment we have had is the shaded attachment that comes with it does not work at all ( the reason we chose this particular pool was for this shaded attachment) so we have not been able to use this since the purchase, only the pool. The shaded attachment needs to be redesigned with a material that is sufficient to hold itself up rather than just fully relying on air.

Child’s paddling pool with shade
Nice pool but canopy do not stay up I’ve had to keep inflating it as goes floppy & leans over.

Great for keeping cool in the summer
It’s bigger than it looks and my little lad loves it. Would suggest getting a mechanic pump as I foot pump took forever

Not bad, would buy again
This is a really great paddling pool. The only issues with it are the shade leans, especially if there’s any slight wind, and the steering wheel is somewhat flimsy.

Meh
The actual pool is very good but the roof popped after one hour.
Aly, 18 - 24
Perfect for hot days
Kids love it, very shaded and plenty of room inside to play, great paddling pool

Great value
Pretty good for £40. Roof gives a bit of shade as well as play value.

Hello Chloe,
The supplier has advised the following for the Bestway Sea Captain Family Pool:
We would advise that the product is better suited for putting on grass as there is a risk that a harder, sharp/abrasive surface could damage it.
If you do place it on paving, we would suggest making use of some form of suitable protection/padding like a padded mat underneath the product, between it and the slab. It'd also need to be as flat and level a slabbed surface as possible too.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Mine is on grass, but don't see why it cant be on other surfaces.
Hello Toni,

Not that I can see it’s just a paddling pool but a very good one. There is a plug for easy emptying x
