But has shared her buy from a local toy shop that’s changed the game for
Liv took to TikTok to show off the paddling pool she got from Smyths
The £64.99 buy means you don’t have to spend ages blowing a pool up
As it just required unfolding and pulling the sides down for stability
Liv said it took about an hour to fully fill upLiv took to her TikTok page to post a video raving about the £64.99 Portable Folding Pool she nabbed from her local Smyths Toy Superstores.

Liv was then seen filling the pool up, before adding some inflatables and a kids’ slide for her daughter to enjoy in the water.
“!”; she captioned her video
“No dogs popping it, no blowing it up & deflating it â literally open it up and fold it back down!”;
In another video , Liv responded to people questioning how “sturdy”; the pool is, as she demonstrated by giving it a push.
While she could push the sides inwards a little, it wasn’t enough to cause any water to flow out of the pool.
Whereas from the inside, the sides were impossible to push outwards.
“Got this last summer, it’s amazing,”; one person commented on Liv’s video.
“Didn’t come out of the shed with holes like the other pools!”;
“Oh wow how cool is that?”; another raved.
“Fuming at all the years I’ve spent blowing pools up, or building frames!”;
“What?!”; a third marvelled.
“That’s so much easier!
“I was about to buy a blow up one but I guess I’m going to Smyths!”;
“I just went and bought that same pool today, it’s amazing,”; someone else said.
While another asked whether or not the pool was suitable for “older children”;.
“Mine are 6 & 7 and had loads of fun in it with their friends,”; Liv replied.
“It’s not deep enough to properly swim but good to play around and go under water.”;
“Does it come with a cover?”; someone else asked.
To which Liv said: “I’ve just ordered the cover for this â £7.99 Smyths”;.
“Can you have a filter on it please?”; another questioned.
With Liv replying: “No, I have just put a chlorine float in and will use a net to get any dirt out”;.
