‘I bought this in the summer for my daughter’s first birthday, she absolutely loved it! Hours of fun playing in the sand.’
Parents can snap up a Chad Valley Hippo Sand Pit with a huge saving in a double deal stack. The sandpit typically costs £28 at Argos, but there’s actually a way to pick one up for less than £5.
The first part of the deal comes via Argos, where the retail giant has knocked 25% off the price to bring it down to £20. However, savvy shoppers can effectively shave more than £15 extra off the cost by signing up as a new member of money-saving website TopCashback.
New members benefit from a £15 cashback sign-up bonus when they spend £15 or more at a participating store. That means, once cashback is factored in, the Hippo Sandpit costs £4.17 for new TopCashback members and new Argos customers.
Existing Argos customers will pay a little more, with it working out at £4.83 after cashback. The price includes free click and collect from an Argos store, while standard delivery costs £4.95.
The 60L product is suitable for use with sand, water or balls and can be used by children aged one and over, with adult supervision. It’s worth noting that the maximum weight is 30kg.

It has averaged a rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from more than 430 reviews to date. One said: “So great, I bought two – one for water, one for sand. Great sensory play.”
Another continued: “Bought this for my grandson’s third birthday, his face was a picture when he saw it. Great value for money and the lid is a bonus to keep pets and vermin out.”
A third added: “I bought this in the summer for my daughter’s first birthday, she absolutely loved it! Hours of fun playing in the sand. Also, we have filled up with water too for her to splash about in there, great price and good sizing also comes with a thick plastic lid as a cover, stores great for winter.”
Meanwhile, another said: “Great sandpit for my children, has been well used and still in great condition. The lid works well and stops the rain from getting in.”
One did note: “Really good size for my two-year-old grandson. The lid does not fit well and is flimsy, so you have to weigh it, or it blows off even in light wind.”
Another also noted they found the lid “needs weighting down”. Elsewhere, Amazon stocks a classic Shell Clam Shaped Sandpit that also doubles up as a paddling pool. The best-selling product includes a handy carry handle, comes in either blue or green and costs £21.99.
The Range also has a Wooden Sandpit (£39.99) that comes with an adjustable canopy, making it ideal for providing some shade on sunny days. The height of the canopy can be altered to suit how tall the child is, while it also has two integrated wooden benches for added comfort.
