This review is from: Floating Island Bath Time Adventure (Toy)

I bought this toy for $4.99, so I don't feel as cheated....but it has some problems.
CONS
1. IT DOESN'T FLOAT VERY WELL! hello!
2. The tree doesn't clip into the base in any way, so it is constantly falls off.
2. The dolls have holes in the bottom. Once they are in the water, water is constantly coming out of them. You cannot play with them outside of the tub (not to mention the cooties growing on the inside and coming out when they are submerged.
3. The boat won't stay on the tie off, very frustrating for a 3 year old.

Pros
1. It is Dora, which makes everyone smile :)
2. They loved putting everyone down the slide.
A great concept, just not designed very well at all.

This review is from: Floating Island Bath Time Adventure (Toy)

This toy is flawed. And while I don't like to write negative reviews, maybe this will save someone the money I spent on this toy.

Here are the problems:
1. It doesn't stay together very well. The tree falls off as
does the bridge holding the two islands together.

2. It doesn't float very well. The people easily fill with water
and they are hard making it difficult to squirt the water out
of them. This makes them heavy. The island doesn't float well
either.

3. You can't squirt the water out of the people because they are
harder plastic. This means the germs and mold grows in there.
YUCK!

The slide is fun and my kids had a ball putting things down the slide. But for the money, there are other, better toys for the bath available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daughter loves this - as a parent I'm a bit less impressed, June 2, 2004

This review is from: Floating Island Bath Time Adventure (Toy)

I bought this for my two year old daughter who absolutely loves this toy. Whenever I say it is bath time she responds "Dora Island?' and heads for the bathroom. Unfortunately, I am a bit less impressed. For starters, Dora, Diego and Boots float face down in the water. The little boat that it comes with will not hold one of the characters sitting up, they have to lie down or the boat will tip. This does cause my daughter to repeatedly try to get the character in the boat and she eventually gives up. Each character is made of a reasonably hard plastic, but each has a hole in the bottom. Of coarse, water fills each character and it is very difficult to get the water out for drying (which the instructions do recommend you dry this toy between uses). The slide has a snap together part which also fills with water that is impossiblt to get out. We have only had this toy for two weeks but I am beginning to worry about mildew building up. I give this toy a 4 because I know these are minor issues, but I would have thought Fisher Price would have given these issues a bit more thought. If I had it to do all over again I probably would have had my daughter only play with this on dry land!
