Sloth-Shaped Pool Floats

Target Added a Six-Foot Sloth Pool Float to Its Sun Squad Collection

— May 21, 2020 — Lifestyle
Just in time for summer, Target has expanded its Sun Squad collection to include an adorable new sloth pool float.

For the past few years, oversized pol floats have been incredibly popular—largely because they're so Instagramable. Now consumers have a new option when it comes to photo-worthy pool floats thanks to Targets new sloth-shaped pool float. Sold under the brand's Sun Squad line, the six-foot sloth pool float is a supersized floatie that looks like a sloth lying on its back. Swimmers can then sit in belly of the sloth, resting their head against the sloth's own head.

With the ability to hold up to 198 pounds, the pool float is perfect for kids and adults alike.
