Every child has the right to a happy childhood, and the sandbox is, perhaps, an integral part of it. If earlier children had to play in the sand with other kids, including those who were not very friendly and well-mannered, now parents have a unique opportunity to purchase individual and inexpensive sandboxes for private use.... These include the products of the Paradiso brand.
Features:
First of all, it should be clarified that this the brand is listed as Belgian, but the cost of the products suggests that the product is coming from China. The cheapest model can be bought literally for 800-900 rubles, while wealthier parents can pay 6 thousand for a children's model with various additions (like a cover and an awning).
Children's models are mostly very compact - they can even be carried in the trunk of a station wagon, if it is scary to leave such a structure in the country. In terms of design, the choice is huge and allows you to choose something interesting for any child - there are multi-color and monochromatic models (the most popular are green and blue).
Many of the brand's sandboxes imitate an animal or flower, which makes them more attractive (from the point of view of children).
It should be noted that some models are made double, that is, they do not just have a separate cover, but the two sashes of the structure are, as it were, equivalent. In fact, the manufacturer advises not to put sand in both halves, but instead use one of the parts as a small children's pool. In the heat of summer, this can really turn out to be the luxury that our generation in its years could only dream of.
Note that sandboxes Paradiso is still not perfect... Although there are not many complaints against them, they are still there. Almost all consumers note that the plastic from which such a product is made is very thin - even under a child it bends. On the one hand, this is good, because in the event of a breakdown of the structure, there will be no sharp and dangerous edges, on the other hand, due to the low strength, the probability of such breakdown only increases. Again, the design does not provide for seats, and you cannot sit on board either, because it does not even have the ability to support the weight of a person, albeit a small one.
The lineup
The range of sandboxes of the Belgian company is quite large and allows you to choose the right product for children with any preferences... We will not consider here absolutely all the current models, but nevertheless we will briefly go through those of them that have become quite popular on the market in recent years.
"Sunflower"
Despite the name, this folding model for almost 4 thousand rubles just does not look too much like its own "prototype". In fact, there is no black in its design at all, therefore it would be more correct to call it an abstract yellow flower. However, this does not negate the practical qualities, namely: resistance to burnout and the ability to use the second half as a pool.
"Frog"
This model already looks much more believable. It costs the same as the one described above, but at the same time it is single - its lid cannot be used in any way, except for its main purpose, it is simply removed and put aside. The lack of a pool at a high cost is compensated by the presence of those hard seats inside, for the lack of which many Paradiso sandboxes have criticized.
"Shell"
When choosing this sandbox, parents need to be especially careful, because, in fact, this is not one model, but many different ones - at a price from 830 to 1700 rubles. The difference between the varieties lies in the presence or absence of an awning, as well as in dimensions - there are smaller versions, and there are also more spacious ones.
"Crab"
An amazing budget option for a double sandbox with a pool, which costs only 1,750 rubles and weighs less than 2.5 kilograms. Recommended for children over one and a half years old.
"Boat"
Quite an unusual concept of a sandbox with a lid for 2850 rubles - in fact, these are two separate boats and two separate sandboxes, which, unlike the same "Shell", are not connected to each other. Each half has a hard seat that allows even two children to take a comfortable position.
The manufacturer suggests using containers for sand, water, or even for storing toys.
How to choose?
When choosing a specific model of Paradiso sandbox, you must based on the needs and preferences of your child, as well as on the characteristics of the options that are of interest. The cheapest solutions are rarely chosen - even the products of the middle price category from this consumer cost quite a bit for anyone to buy. Therefore, decide for yourself whether you need a cover and whether you want it to be able to function as a pool, and then just decide what your new purchase will be like. If you want your baby to have something to sit on, choose models with a seat - not everyone offers this luxury.
Keep in mind that most Paradiso sandboxes, especially the budget ones, are very compact, so they are usually designed for one child... For two kids, you need to choose a larger sandbox - there are those too, although there are not many of them - or just a double one, but then without a pool. Please note that due to the small size and low strength of plastic, the majority of sandboxes are not designed for children weighing more than 18 kilograms, and many stores "forget" to indicate this in the description - which means that heavy children will have to choose something else.
