I bought this for my 22 month old grandson. He is just about the right size for this. The kids in the Fisher-Price picture must be really tiny. If my grandson crawls under the giraffe there is no clearance room and at the most only a few trickles of water come out. The hoses between each animal kink off easily, shutting down the water. When he plays I have to watch the hoses and reposition them .I will probably splint them in their vulnerable places with something to keep them from bending shut. The hoses are also much shorter than pictured, placing the animals much closer than pictured. I don't know if more than one tiny child could play at a time. My giraffe did have a weighted head and body, unlike another reviewer. Once everything is going right he did have fun, but the picture is very misleading about the size. I paid more on the FP website,and I think at the FP or Amazon price,it is overpriced, given the size and the effort it takes to keep the water flowing.

This is a fun toy for small kids - I would say 3 to 5 years at the most -- the giraffe is way too low as another reviewer pointed out. My Grandson is only 3 and we had to put it up lawn chairs in order for him to run under it, else he would have had to crawl on his belly to enjoy it. The elephant trunk fills up with water and makes it top heavy and it falls over, so no squirting. Fisher Price would not do anything about it due to the fact I had purchased it at the end of last season, even though I just opened it. Walmart would not do anything about it either. Fisher Price did suggest spliting open the trunk because apparently it has a flaw that allows the water to drain into the trunk. Not very reliable for the cost !!

This is fun, cute, and horrible to set up. It takes forever to blow up the animals (I didn't have a pump) and I was exhausted. And, like one of the reviewers before me, I couldn't get the giraffe to stay up for the life of me. But my daughter enjoys it and that's what matters most!

Good Product for small children (18 months - 3 years) as long as they are supervised. Several kids can use this at the same time. Water pressure varies for each animal.

This is a really fun toy. It takes some effort to blow up, I recommend a pumper thing. Lots of kids can play together with it, although the guy who grabs the elephant's trunk gets the most fun out of spraying everyone. It's too bad the water isn't warm when it hits you!
