The step and handles aid entry & exit. The top handles are great to hold while lying back face upwards in the pool. Sturdy enough for birth partner and midwives to support from any position, once the pool is filled, the sides are sturdy enough for a 15 stone (95.5kg) person to sit on the side without collapsing it. With the fast hand pump provided free with the pool, it takes only 10 minutes to inflate the pool. Water filling time depends on your hot-water system. This Regular pool holds the equivalent of approximately 3 1/4 bathtubs of water. 
| The Birth Pool in a Box has been designed for strength and comfort with 2 people, enabling your partner to take an active part in the birth of your baby. With internal step and top handles, each pool comes with a disposable liner and a heavy duty inflation/deflation hand pump. Now includes disposable liner for enhanced safety and hygiene. Using a liner also means two "containers" for the water, giving added protection against the unlikely event of a water leak. Deep enough to give buoyancy without compromising midwife support, Birth-Pool-in-a-Box has an internal depth of 26" (66cm) and since the sides are stiff when inflated, you can fill water to a depth of 23". The sides of Birth-Pool-in-a-Box are made of 3 independent tubular chambers stacked on top of each other. If one of them should puncture by accident, only 1/3 of the wall height will be lost. This is safer for mother and baby and results in little to no water on your floor than a puncture into a single-chambered inflatable pool. By deflating the middle chamber to the appropriate height once a woman is in the filled pool, the height of the pool can be adjusted for safe and comfortable access. Smaller woman or smaller midwives may find that by lowering the sides of the pool by several inches, they feel more comfortable. By adjusting this on the middle chamber, the rigidity and stability of the pool is maintained by the fully inflated top and bottom chamber.
