Product Description

From the Manufacturer

One of Alex's best bath toys, the Bath Car Wash is tons of fun! Crank the cars through the mini car wash on a working conveyer belt, atop the floating island. Then sponge the cars down with the squeegee that can be filled with liquid soap and rinse them off with the squirter.

Product Description

Splish splash fun. Line up the three included cars and wash 'em down. Comes with a hand crank that moves a conveyor belt to push dirty vehicles through. Fill the squeegee with liquid soap to lather the cars up, then use the spray squirter to rinse them clean.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great out of water, March 27, 2006

The crank to make the cars move is hard to use while this item is floating. It makes it go under water by the pressure. So my kids had to prop it up on their laps so the whole thing didn't go under water. They loved playing with this toy outside of the water for about 1 week. My kids are 2 1/2 and 4.

Bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son who at the time was obsessed with car washes. The Cranks are too hard to crank on your own while floating in the water. Therefore the toy is really only good for lining the cars up in and watching them pretend to move along the track. Not too exciting! I would not recommend this toy. In fact all Alex bath toys have been disappointing. Can't seem to find a great bath toy other than cups and tub markers!

2.0 out of 5 stars attractive, but works poorly, January 12, 2011

This review is from: Alex Car Wash Floating Tub Playcenter (Toy)

I bought this toy with enthusiasm for my grandkids, ages 2 1/2 and 5 1/2, but am returning it to the store because neither of them can make it work well. As other reviewers have noted, the crank for the rollers turns so hard that they can't get a car through without submerging the toy and thereby setting the cars afloat. On the other hand, the second crank for the drier turns too easily--in both directions--so the cars get knocked every which way, again off the track. The squirter is almost impossible to fill and yields only a trickle. This toy is nice to look at but not much fun.
