FAQ About Water Play Mats

Water play mats: How expensive?
While small mats already start at 10€, you have to reckon with up to 150€ for large water play mats. In addition, for large mats some accessories are added. This may or may not be included, so there are often additional costs here.

What to do if the pool is green?
For small pools, the water should be drained and the pool cleaned thoroughly afterwards. When it is clean again, water can be added and the fun can continue.

When are babies allowed in the paddling pool?
As soon as a baby can sit, there is nothing to stop the fun of splashing around. This is usually the case from 6 months of age, but can also occur earlier or later, depending on the child’s development. Almost every child has fun in the water.
