[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really confused. Baby pools are like a foot deep, small, and generally fenced in. It is incredibly easy to keep an eye on two kids in a baby pool. You just need to make ground rules - if you run, leave the area, etc, we leave immediately.

Not being able to handle two kids in a baby pool IS completely unreasonable. [/quote]

Like I mentioned in the OP I have never been to this pool ever so I am not familiar with it nor the depth.  Nowhere was it said that I could not handle it. My concern is safety due to the way my older charge acts and needing a  lot of 1 on 1 attention.  His brother just began walking and would not be in a stroller but out so that he could enjoy the water also.  I have never seen any special floating devices etc with their pool stuff at the house so my assumption is that mb holds the baby while there while db watches the older charge or vice versa. they go together.  This is a child that would break off and run when he hears something he doesn't like or change his mind frequently while in the middle of an activity. If it weren't for his usually issues that we work with on a daily basis in other circumstances I would not have any concerns.  But naturally I am thinking of the worst case scenario.

And the last family that I was with the kiddie pool would reach my waist/lower chest area while sitting in it and was NOT fenced separately from the larger pool but just a few feet distance away. So a 1 year old could still drown.  Naturally this is the vision that I have in my mind because I haven't seen this one yet.  Mb has been avoiding going with me like she said she wanted to initially and just trying to get me to go with the both of them on my own all of a sudden.[/quote]
