Our verdict

78 / 100

A simple summer present for a family with small children and a bit of outdoor space. It sets up fast and packs away when the season ends. Always supervise little ones near water, and skip it for school-age kids who want to swim.

Best forFamilies with toddlers or young children who have a yard or patio.
Avoid ifSkip it for older children or if you lack outdoor space and a hose.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
