2.0 out of 5 stars Mom of 4 yr old and 22 months., November 20, 2005

This review is from: Aquadoodle Go 'n Doodle Travel Doodler (Toy)

I'm a big fan of aquadoodle. Have 2 regular mats, 2 mini mats and 2 travel ones, as well as extra pens and stamping accessories. LOVE the regular version of aquadoodle for home and grandma's. LOVE the mini mats for hotels, restaurants (mini mats are flimsy and can be permanently creased). Was excited when this travel version came out and expected it to be a mini version of the larger mat. The frame is a bit bulky for travelling. The drawing surface is felt-like and can be easily scratched. The pen is too small and will run out of water shortly into your trip. I think the pens screw the opposite direction so kids won't open it and spill water. I would still buy this again only b/c I have to keep the younger one entertained in the car and the price of $15 is great for what you get. The product is a great idea but the felt is not practical at all and will get ruined quickly unless you take great care-i.e. don't let the child hold other toys while playing w/ this, etc. Place it in some sort of protection case. Re: the pen, you can buy the larger pens separately-they s/h just made a larger pen for this set. I keep extra pens in the car b/c they drop them often and I can't retrieve while driving. With multiple kids, they can all draw together. They need to come out w/ a portable product combining the best of their regular mat, travel, and mini mats. So far, each of the three products have different surfaces. I would be thrilled w/ a smaller version of their regular mat w/ that same type of surface. Hope to be of help.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't take a beating, November 18, 2005

Aquadoodles are one of the best inventions in recent times. And the idea of the travel aquadoodle is no exception. However this product does have it's shortcomings.

PROS
- Allows you to take the everfun aquadoodle on the go with you.
- There are 2 sides, allowing for more additional drawing space, while the other side is evaporating.
- Has an elastic loop on the side of the toy that the pen easily slides into, for convenient storage.

CONS
- Although it's for travel, the plastic "frame" makes the toy take up a lot of room (such that it doesn't fit in a diaper/carry bag.
- The pen is very small and doesn't hold much water.
- The pen opens/ closes the opposite of how you would expect (the "lefty lucy" rule doesn't work, making it hard for kids to refill by themselves)
- The felt area gets scratched and snagged very easily. Once it's scratched or snagged, the surface doesn't work the way it should.

OVERALL
I might suggest getting the Aquadoodle "mini mats". They are more portable, priced very well and you don't have to be quite as careful with them as the Travel Doodle.

This review is from: Aquadoodle Go 'n Doodle Travel Doodler (Toy)

We bought this toy for my 2 year old son. It is a great idea and he absolutely loved it and with using just water it was excellent for no clean up. However literally about 5 days into using it the drawing part which is a soft material was already getting scratched up which made drawing on the scratched parts impossible. The ONE pen which is basically a plastic tube with a felt tip (think Q-tip) started to come apart in little pieces. About 3 weeks after having it, it was so scratched up on both sides just from basic use that you couldnt see when you drew on it anymore and the Magic Pen tip was compeletly destroyed and leaked. I had to throw it away, which was really disappointing because my son loved the toy and it was a great idea but obviously cant hold up for long and in the end isnt worth it.
