Intex Sunset Glow Inflatable Kiddie Pool 45 x 10 in (57412EP)

A cheap, simple splash pool for small kids, with no drain and limited room.

We bought XFlated Kiddie Pool Watermelon 3 Ring Inflatable Pool for Kids, 45 inches, Ages 3+. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is the same size and three ring build from Intex, a well known pool maker with a readable product page.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Families wanting a simple, shallow splash pool for one or two small children
  • Anyone who needs a pool that packs small for trips
  • Buyers who want a known brand at a low price
Skip it if
  • Your kids are older and want room to move
  • You want a drain plug for easy emptying
  • You want shade, sprayers or a slide built in

What owners like

  • Inflates easily and holds air well, with only an occasional top up
  • Soft floor suits young children
  • Cheap and portable

Common complaints

  • No drain hole, so emptying takes tipping
  • Valves can be stubborn during inflation
  • Too small for bigger kids

Based on Intex product pages, a hands on Bob Vila test and a Little Loving Life roundup. Both editorial reviews tested the smaller 34 inch Sunset Glow baby pool, which shares the same ring and floor construction..

What it does

A 45 inch, three ring inflatable kiddie pool with a soft inflatable floor, for splash play in a yard or on a patio. This page covers it in place of the XFlated watermelon 3 ring pool, which had too little readable coverage.

  • Three separate inflatable rings in pink, yellow and green
  • Inflatable floor gives a cushioned base
  • Holds about 35 gallons at its fill line
  • Light and small when deflated, so it travels to a park or beach
  • Repair patch in the box

A low cost, well known choice for small children who need a shallow splash pool and nothing more. It packs small and the soft floor is kind on knees, but there is no drain, so emptying means tipping it, and it is too small for older kids who want to move around.
