Mattel Disney Princess Ariel's Floating Fountain Playset

this product does seem a bit cheap, but my daughter loved it! She was turning 6 and remembered wanting it for months! So, she got it for her birthday. She played and played with it. It is one of her favorite bath toys. It does have some issue staying together, but it doesn't bother me so I rated it highly based on how she feels about it not on how I feel about it.

My daugghter (3) enjoys it but I found it a little disappointing. The only moving part is the swings which do not go all the way around, they tick back and forth. If a little too much water fills the floating base, it sinks. Fun for me to play titanic but my daughter gets pissy.

It's true, the toy does sink in the water. Thank you to Ingmar R. for your review and recommendations on spray foam. I will have to try that. The squirting aspect works fine (you have to keep the shell UNDER water, I learned.) If you can keep the floating part above water it is lots of fun. The fountain at the top will spray water like crazy though, so hopefully the bathroom getting wet won't be a problem. Overall, does it need some improvements? Yes. But, for the price it's alright and I probably would buy it again.

Poorly made, doesn't float!! Total waste of money I'm very upset. It's very cute to look at!! But if any water gets on it it flips over

So, the idea is adorable and it's all super super cute. That's where the pros stop. The cons...whew. First, the tubing that takes the water from the squeeze thing to the top of the float is crunched up in a teensy space, which meant it was crimped and short of cutting and fusing it, we couldn't ever get that top part to work. The result was the fish sprayed 5 daggum feet, which unless you'd like your child to hose down your entire bathroom pretty much sucks. Then there's the fact that it sinks really easily. Like, really. So much for floating palace. Love the little Ariel mermaid though.

My 4 yr old granddaughter loves this! She likes the swings and the fountain. She and her sister play with these toys in and out of the tub.

4 year old girl bath toy. It's a good size for a 4 year old. Fun to play with at bath time.

This caught my daughter's eyes immediately. She loves anything princess, minnie mouse, disney. Bath toys are a must around here. This toy is cute, but very unstable. The pieces come off so easily...I spent more time putting it back together than my daughter played with it. In addition, the fountain sprays SO far that it doesn't stay in the bathtub and water is EVERYWHERE. Currently, we have given up on the main structure and just plays with the Ariel doll that came with it.

My daughter loves this, but it's very flimsy and the airline is all but impossible to dry out after using in the bath, so it has mould spots in it already.
