Little Tikes Anchors Away Pirate Water Playset. Outdoor Garden Toy, Safe & Portable Kids Table. Sensory Toy for Garden Games, Encourages Creative Play, For Ages 24 Months+

I purchased this for my one year old who loves water...I thought this would be perfect! I bought at sale price and I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it. I think the sale price is about right.Pros:It's a great sizeNice and colourfulFun designNice and light to move (without water)Lots of bits to play with.Fits loads of children around nicelyEasy drain plug.Can be used with or without water. Nice dry activity table for indoors if you don't have space in wet room or bathroom for example. (If using without water it's incredibly light...so you may need rubber matting to stop it slipping)Nice chunky and sturdy legs.Cons:The cannon tube does not reach the water to suck it up, to get it to reach the water will mean over flowing the ship. We had to buy a replacement tube. (Available in any aquatic pet store)The holes to flow the water onto the spinners are close enough, so to spin them you have to pour directly onto them yourself, making the pump tower kind of useless for that function.The squeeze and squirt shark didn't have a hole so we had to make one ourselves.In all it's a good toy for the sale price, at full price I'd be a bit disappointed at the diy you have to do to get all the items useable. It looks as though it will last through the elements outside if you don't have storage. The material seems robust and easy to clean.My son seems to like it so far.You need an electric screwdriver as the holes for the legs are not pre made. assembly is quite simple with the right tools.

It was meant to be for my son on his first birthday. However it was on sale (38.40£) and I got much earlier. And so I let my son play with it from 9 months old ... My son tend to surprise a lot of people in terms of strength, balance and learning. This is mainly why I went for this toy. Your choice. You know your children best.At 9 months he was able to reach the spinners been on his toes, steering the wheel and pulling the anchor. The table itself is big ! Nice you'll say as a lot of children can play with it but pricey in terms of water and space ! There is no way to store it. Once it's up it's up. The 'missing' holes to screw the feet of the table didn't bother me at all. I used a screwdriver and a little hammer, worked perfect. The table is stable but any young child able to stand up on it will move it as it is very light. It's better used with water in.I have stored mine indoor for a start, with water but not up to the max just enough for boats to float (4 kettles) and my son to have fun. However I had a bucket underneath the plug 'in case of ...' and thick towels/plastic mat around. From then, I've taken the water out. Our area is known to have 'hard' water, I could see the deposits on the table and needed to clean it once dry with my vacuum, wasn't an easy job as it's stripped in the bottom. Also, the plug that you've put all your strength to set up is absolutely useless ! So slow ...Now the main downside of this toy is that yes parts can be easily taken off by a child. My son loves to take off the canon, the spinners. And I personally don't appreciate that. The pump is really hard to start off. You'll need a lot of water to get the canon working as the straw is very short. But like the pump it's hard to 'spray'.So overall, it is a good toy as it aims at imagination. It has a lot of accessories which can be used in the bath. But with equal downsides which not every parent will close their eyes from. My son really love it and so are his six other cousins (from 2 years old up to 9).The plays that I made up so far are : cold and warm water from different areas, ice rocks and water and toys block/shape sorter pieces all in so loads of noise made. I won't consider it as a sand table personally due to no lid.

This is a good value toy - we got a far better price on Amazon than elsewhere. Both our 4 year old and particularly our 2 year old love it - they spend ages making up stories involving the little pirate characters (and a large number of other plastic toys usually get brought in for a swim too...) and playing with pouring water about with the cups. I'd highly recommend it for kids who are water-obsessed like ours.The build quality is decent and it's easy to put together, the only issue may be having enough space to store it as although the mast can be taken down the legs are screwed on and not removable once in place - so make sure you have somewhere to keep it as it's quite large. My only other niggle with the design is that the cannon unclips from it's snap-in position a bit too easily and the hose on the cannon is too short (could be replaced - it's just a piece of clear plastic tube), which means unless the table is full to the brim you can't really use it in-situ. This part could have been better thought out. Other than that it seems to be robust enough for average use, and we've used it a lot with no visible wear and tear to any of it so far. We haven't left it outside to store though so I can't speak for it's durability against a good old British summer.Note that once you've filled up it it's very hard to move without two people (e.g. if you want to relocate it from outdoors to in when it rains) and even then you'll probably spill some, and that you have to reach underneath to pull the plug out as the plug secures from the bottom upwards which means that if you want to empty it into a bucket you'll have to lift it at the same time which usually leads to spillage...

My two year old grand daughter loves this pirate ship ! Endless amounts of fun ( supervised when water inside ) but so easy to empty with the plug design. It can easily be transported round the garden too ! Excellent t toy
