Sam's Club is selling a giant inflatable 'Friends' couch sprinkler

NOSTALGIC AND REFRESHING SUMMER FUN IS JUST A CLICK AWAY

IN THIS ARTICLE:


Kids love cooling off with colorful inflatable sprinklers, but why should they have all the fun? If you've ever longed for a fun and refreshing play sprinkler of your own — and you happen to be a "Friends" fan — your summer is set. The new inflatable sprinkler resembles the famous orange couch, and it can seat up to three adults while a sprinkler gently mists you from above. If 'Friends' isn't your thing, other entertaining summer options include unicorns, bounce houses and rainbows.

COOL OFF WITH 'FRIENDS' THIS SUMMER

Unless you own a shop vac or an air mattress pump, make sure your inflatable sprinkler comes with an electric blower to inflate it. Even the largest inflatable playgrounds can be inflated within 10 to 20 minutes if you have the right equipment.

Whether you're going with an inflatable sprinkler or a toy attachment for a hose, pick a model that's appropriate for your child's age. Younger children may trip over sprinkler toys or fall from inflatables, so always supervise them during playtime.

You also need to take some precautions to prevent tears or leaks. Set your inflatable up on a tarp, especially if you're using it on concrete, and clean it off with soap and mild detergent when you're done using it. Make sure it's fully dry before folding it up along its seams and storing it in an airtight box. If you're worried about the inflatable's durability, check if it comes with a repair kit to patch any leaks.
