The Splash Zone ring floats okay — your money's better on a splash pad

The Splash Zone ring floats okay, but your money is better spent on a splash pad or an animal sprinkler. We tested a whole backyard water park lineup — Lily approved the splash pad and the multi-jet whale, vetoed the water blob. My one piece of dad advice: start with something cheap and simple before you buy a giant inflatable. You’ll learn what your kid actually enjoys and what just looks cool in the photos. (As long as it doesn’t require a pump.)
