2.0 out of 5 stars DANGEROUS PRODUCT, May 21, 2002

last summer I bought this float for my 8month old son. For starters, it was nearly impossible to blow up the tree enough for it to stand up and not flop down on his head. I ended up completely deflating it and letting it drag in the water. More importantly, there is a string which holds 3 plastic balls for the child to play with while floating. This string is secured to the float only by a simple knot on each side. It came undone almost immediately after just a few light tugs on the balls by my son. The balls then came off and although they are not small enough to choke on, he still put them in his mouth and the string was left dangling and of course that ended up in his mouth as well and most definitely did pose a choking hazard. I was so unhappy with this product I emailed the manufacturer, and got NO RESPONSE after resending my complaints several times. So I do not recommend this or any other pool toy made by this company. If you do choose to buy it, be careful - it's just not safe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sink, not float, August 24, 2001

I purchased this product for my 12 month old to introduce him to the water in a fun and safe way, and changed my mind quickly. As soon as I put him in, it began to tip and sink. The only way to keep him afloat was for me to hold it up (which took quite some effort), and in that case, there's no point in having a float at all! I give this product 1 star accross the board because it's not safe, not enjoyable, and definitely not worth the measly [money] that they charge you. Sometimes cheap isn't the way to go.

I bought this for my one year old son (who loves the water). I was delightfully surprised with how well it worked. First of all, it does state that you must always supervise while in use. The balls and string came undone within 1/2 hour of using this product. Other than that, I had no troubles with inflating it, and I found that the "palm tree" shades my son really well. I would definitely recomment this product
