Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Boring, difficult to clean

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. It says suitable from 6 months but by that age, they expect something a bit more exciting.

The toy can be used as one long tube or it will separate into 4 separate toys. It is made of plastic and brightly coloured. I find it difficult to get the parts to dry out properly. There always seems to be a bit of water left in and I am sure that eventually this is going to become really very mouldy and not healthy for a baby.

The main problem with this toy is that the water passes through too quickly for it to be entertaining. Also the parts move so quickly you cannot really see what they are doing so it is a bit boring.

At 6 pound this is definitely not worth it. there are far more fun and interesting bath toys on the market.

Summary: Not recommended
