We have tried lots of different types of sprinklers this summer for our 4yo, but they were all big disappointments. We actually purchased the Little Tykes from a local stuff-mart, and it is fab!

There are no moving parts, which is great because there is nothing to break. The water shoots out at just the right height so that my small 4yo can play without getting water shot straight in the face. (He *hates* that!) The balls are really fun when you get the water pressure just right, and you get some serious hang time!

I think this sprinkler is appropriate for a 2 year old (the water shoots very low, as does the water that trickles out the sides)...For a 3-4 year old, I think this sprinkler is a little on the young side. In addition, I was annoyed to have to keep moving the sprinkler to sit exactly upright at a 90 degree angle for the balls to pulse thru). It wasn't expensive, but I wouldn't spend it again if I had an older child (3+ years old) to entertain.

My two sons love this toy. It is perfect and they love to play with it on a hot day. Great and inexpensive toy for my 2 and 4 year old.

What else can I say except my kids loved playing with this.

It is the winter now, and as soon as the weather gets warm again, we
will bring this out again for the kids to cool down and have fun on those warm summer days.

Bought this at our local "mart" for cheap (less than half of what the price is here) but even so, it doesn't work. The water leaks out of the bottom so there isn't enough water pressure to shoot any of the balls out of the top. It is going back to the store.

I bought this for my 3 yr old and the thing didn't work at all. He was so disappointed. The picture on the box is not accurate. The base has to be perfectly 90 degrees and the balls constantly got stuck, when we finally shook the sprinkler to make the balls go around the tube most of them didn't even shoot up and the ones that did barely went 3 feet in the air. Don't waste your money even if the thing isn't expensive to buy. Cool concept bad design, they need to go back to the drawing board!!!!!!

The plastic piece on the bottom that holds the sprinkler in the ground broke off the first time we used it. Not a durable toy.

I was amazed at how long the balls balance at the top of the water stream. The kids (ages 3-12)had a blast watching them spiral down and then shoot up in the air... a big bonus to the regular kids sprinkler toys!

My boys would have loved this sprinkler however they didn't get to try it out because the "stake" used to put the sprinkler into the ground is only a thick plastic triangle and broke upon trying to drive it into the ground. Once broken there was no way to stand up the sprinkler so it went into the trash. Even in normal soft ground I suspect the stake on this sprinkler would be too shallow to steadily hold up the sprinkler.

This is a very fun outdoor toy... Liked it better than your standard sprinkler toys, since it's interactive. My toddler was amazed at how long the balls could be suspended up at the top of the fountain of water. Would definetly recommend this to others!
