The product brings the fun of public [splash parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splash) to the comfort of one's home. In the hot, summer months, parents have just a few options to keep kids entertained and outdoors and most importantly away from screens. Many homes don’t have space or budget for a dedicated pool and the options for [at-home water toys or splash pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-toy-collection) are either low in quality or too expensive. Similarly, a family trip to the beach can be a process that requires an abundance of prep and planning, Splash2o gives families an affordable and long-lasting solution for [outdoor water fun at home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-game). The collapsible, modular Aqua-Tower allows for quick and easy setup and storage. The product was founded by a parent team who have two young children of their own. They launched the product on Indiegogo and are looking to build an excited parent community around the Splash2o revolution. Founder David Ertur commented, "As parents, we know that families enjoy water parks. So we've created an easy, convenient and more affordable solution to bring the experience to their backyard. Our kids love it and so do their friends - we know we’ve built something very special.” Splash2o is available for pre-order and is priced between $249 and $399, depending on the "perk" levels available. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable-splash-pads:** A trend of portable splash pads is emerging, giving parents an affordable and convenient solution for outdoor water fun at home. - **At-home-water-toys:** The demand for high-quality and affordable at-home water toys is increasing as parents seek alternative entertainment options for their children. - **Modular-outdoor-recreation:** Modular outdoor recreation products like Splash2o's collapsible Aqua-Tower offer quick and easy setup and storage, disrupting the traditional market of fixed installations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor-recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry has an opportunity to tap into the growing demand for portable backyard splash pads and capitalize on the desire for convenient and affordable outdoor water fun. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can leverage the trend of at-home water toys by offering a wide variety of high-quality products and reaching a larger consumer base through online sales. - **Parenting-products:** The parenting products industry can explore innovative and modular designs for outdoor water toys, creating versatile and easy-to-use products like collapsible splash pads that cater to busy parents' needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Innovative Outdoor Play Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-splash.md) - [Customizable Tanning Pools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-tanning-pool.md) - [Elevated Pool Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledge-partypad.md) - [Magnetic Reusable Water Balloons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-water-balloons.md) - [Inflatable Cold Plunge Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plunge-evolve-series.md) - [Multifunctional Crowdfunded Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangpad.md) - [Floating Cabana Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-cabana-bar.md) - [In-House Fire Prevention Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-fighter.md) - [Fitness-Inspired Backyard Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-playsets.md)
