Our stock tank was nice because it could take all the digging, and Mary loved to whoosh the water as she submerged to her neck. Can't quite do that in a kiddy pool. Although they are better than nothing. Ours wore out, and had a big crack in the bottom. I kept thinking i would just get another, but I never did. I want one, hopefully one day. I am betting Neccy might like it much. We used ours for 15 years, and it was used when I got it.
