The way the British weather works is this: It's hot all of a sudden. We need everything to cope with the heat. But there's a shortage of everything you need - like paddling pools, splash pads and sunscreen for the kids. And by the time one arrives, it's raining again. Cue Amazon. Everyone's best friend. Don't wait until the sun is beaming down to add the best Amazon paddling pools and pads to your basket.
Lets learn from our yearly mistakes. So, yes, it's a little grey, but we've still got all of July and August to come. And September, where we seem every year to forget - it can also be hot. Nothing beats lounging by the pool, even if it is a a plastic one, and letting the kids burn off all of their youthful energy.
Whilst Amazon paddling pools and pads are a fantastic way to wear out the kids and therefore give you a relaxing summer's evening. Ensuring your child's safety at all times is crucial. With that in mind, we have included our best paddling pool safety tips at the end of the article.

Always be prepared for an emergency
Whilst we don't want to be all doom and gloom. It is essential that you know what to do in the event of an emergency. Knowing how to administer CPR can save lives. You can sign up for a free course on the Royal Life Saving Society website.
Never leave your children unattended
Children should always be within arms reach when they are in a paddling pool.
Make sure pools are covered or drained after each use
As soon as everyone is out of the paddling pool or stopped using the splash pad, empty all the water and turn it upside down. This will ensure that it doesn't re-fill with rain water and keep it clean.
Older kids must be supervised too
As tempting as it can be to close your eyes and relax in the sun, even older children who are confident in water can easily get into difficulty. As always, keep two eyes firmly on the kids (and two in the back of your head).
Protect your little ones eyes and skin
Before heading out into the garden on a hot day, make sure your child has UV protection sunglasses and sunscreen. Even on overcast days, children can burn.
