Aquarium or Ocean Reef Pool?

[micah_mae_]

Is the aquarium one big enough for DH to possibly get in there or catch? He really wants to catch this one. I want to get the aquarium one because it takes less water and our hot water heater sucks.

Anyone have any experience/advice?

I don't have personal experience yet, but if the one you're talking about is the "Wet Set" brand, my midwife used it for herself (and she's a very "fluffy" gal) and says my DH and I should both fit in it easily (we're average-sized people).

I think you're talking about the fishy pool. I've used it a couple of times. One was the larger size (Ocean Reef) and the other was the smaller one (Aquarium). (I'm assuming you'll want to use the smaller one since you're trying to use less water.) I have a couple of pictures of me in the smaller one. My husband never got in it with me, but maybe the pictures will give you an idea of the available space in it. (I'm 5'10" tall, by the way.) It might be a tight fit, but maybe he could climb in right when you start to push? He can easily reach and catch from the outside of the pool, though.

You two would definitely fit together in the larger (Ocean Reef) fishy pool. However, that would defeat the purpose of using less water.

Thanks! That looks plenty big and I think he can definitely catch from outside.

My DH is rather large (6'3, 300lbs) but I am average sized (5'6, 140 prepreg)... I like the idea of a bigger one he can fit in, but that smaller one looks great! Was the bigger one easy to labor in yourself (did you get lost in it, lol), or was the smaller one? I don't know if he will get in with me or not....
