Cute, but has it's issues. |
My 4 year old daugher got this for her birthday b/c she REALLY wanted it.
So here are the pro's:
*It's cute and made well.
*The colors are wonderful.
*Has two showers to shower your mermaid clean, of which one can be on the swing and the other has 3 little flowers that move on the wall when water comes down.
*Most of it is put together for you, so no guessing on where things go.
*it comes with a "mini little mermaid" (much smaller than the bigger mermaids you can buy seperately for $15.00) so you can play with it right away.
Here are the cons:
*Like the other reviewer, the slide comes off constantly and it drives me nuts, b/c I'm the one having to put it back on all the time. I know it hasn't lasted a whole bathtime in place. (We've had it for 3 weeks now)
*The swing comes off easily, but not as often as the slide.
*You are given 3 LARGE suctions, two of which seem to work all the time with the other one, not so much. We have a fiberglass tub, so we've had to manuver at times to find the place it works best.
So overall, if I had bought this for my dauther, I would had payed the orignal price of $16.00, but not the insane price of $45.00+. (She could get a TON more toys for that price.)

Fun in bath and out |
|
We just got this playset for our 4 year old and she loves it. There are three different water activities and a pretty decent slide (works great with tiny rubber duckies too!) that entertain her for the whole bath. We also use it as part of our "Fairytopia" world on dry ground. For me, it's well worth the $16. It comes with a mermaid that is very practical and she loves it. It fits everything in the playset. Unfortunately, I also purchased the full-size mermaid that is sold seperately but looks like it fits great in the swing. It doesn't. The mermaid sold seperately but marketed as a companion to this piece falls out easily of the swing and gets caught on the slide since her tail is a soft plastic. The swing is also very unstable and falls off it's supports. We stopped even using it. Overall, this is just pure fun for us. I would buy this again and would give it as a gift. |

Disappointing |
After a few days of listening to my daughter on how wonderful this would be, I decided to buy it for her. The main problem is the slide does not stay on-- not even for a short amount of time, so that is a complete waste. The suction cups do not stick well to the tile surrounding our tub, but it does stick to the tub itself wonderfully. (Though this makes for an incredibly low toy so you can't use many of the features as they are underwater.)
My daughter LOVES the little pink mermaid that came with, which is the redeeming feature, but she is disappointed in the rest of it. I won't be buying anything like this again-- it really is a waste of money... just buy the mermaids for your little girl, the rest is junk. |
