Mothercare Waterways Activity Tube

I would not recommend this water activity toy from Mothercare. I thought it looked quite basic but figured it would be useful for when my son is a little older. When I used it with a 7 month old, she was less than impressed. I have used it with our 4 month old and he looks away so I guess it isn't much fun for younger babies either.

The pieces don't really fit back together very well once you have taken it apart the first time. So we are basically left with 3 bits left for him to play with, but ...  Read the complete review
