These water-specific inflatable products include mini inflatable pools with sprayers, small water slides, and combo sets that combine water play and bouncing areas. They are designed for home use—most are compact enough to fit on balconies or small yards, and can be easily connected to a garden hose for water supply. Manufacturers have also upgraded the material to be more resistant to sun exposure, preventing cracking or fading under high temperatures.

Parents particularly favor these products for their safety and convenience. "My kid loves the inflatable water slide—he can play outside without getting too hot, and I don’t have to worry about him going to crowded public pools," said a parent from California. With the summer season still ongoing, retailers expect demand for these inflatable water facilities to remain high in the next two months.
