 POOR QUALITY - Mattel Should be Ashamed December 26, 2008
T. Dreyer
Like many of the reviews this waterslide is cute, but very poor quality. We didn't get through even one bath with it working. The swing is held on by loose plastic clips that fall off (rubber bands I added did a better job), the slide is held up by magic (in our case I resorted to hot glue), and finally when ready to apply to the wall 2 of the 3 suction cups were useless (I haven't found a solution to this one). Seriously, Mattel should be ashamed. Simple design flaws ruined this one!
 Endless Bath time fun for the kids! December 9, 2008

I have read the other reviews and had to leave a review, as my daughter received this for her 4 year birthday about 3 months ago. I have to say I wasn't too excited to see another toy in the bathtub, as it is getting overcrowded with them in there. However, this toy is the best by far we have ever had in the bath! First, it uses a set of 3 large suction cups to stick to the wall. Suction cups will ONLY stick to smooth glazed tile....which we have the standard white 4x4 tiles in our bath - so this sticks well. Literally it has been up there since I put it on 3 months ago, and has not come down. If you have pretty porous actual stone like tiles- no this will not stick. No suction cups will stick to rough porous tile, so to the other reviewer- it is probably your tile- as you said it stuck to the bathtub. Now lets get to the fun! My 4 year old & 6 year old boy both like this toy ( my son doesn't want to admit it), but it has 2 pumps that pump water from the little reservoirs and spray down....and they actually work surprisingly well. I have never had much luck with the pump toys in the tub - but this one actually has a nice little spray. The slide is cute too- but the kids really love the sprays and pumps. I recommend getting one of the Barbie Mermaid Dolls as well. we have one- and doesn't' get water stuck in her- so no mold;)
Since we got this toy - my daughter wants to pay an additional 20 minutes in the tub...which is my time to relax;) Overall - surprisingly FUN toy!

My 4 year old daugher got this for her birthday b/c she REALLY wanted it.
So here are the pro's:
*It's cute and made well.
*The colors are wonderful.
*Has two showers to shower your mermaid clean, of which one can be on the swing and the other has 3 little flowers that move on the wall when water comes down.
*Most of it is put together for you, so no guessing on where things go.
*it comes with a "mini little mermaid" (much smaller than the bigger mermaids you can buy seperately for $15.00) so you can play with it right away.
Here are the cons:
*Like the other reviewer, the slide comes off constantly and it drives me nuts, b/c I'm the one having to put it back on all the time. I know it hasn't lasted a whole bathtime in place. (We've had it for 3 weeks now)
*The swing comes off easily, but not as often as the slide.
*You are given 3 LARGE suctions, two of which seem to work all the time with the other one, not so much. We have a fiberglass tub, so we've had to manuver at times to find the place it works best.
So overall, if I had bought this for my dauther, I would had payed the orignal price of $16.00, but not the insane price of $45.00+. (She could get a TON more toys for that price.)
Fun in bath and out August 22, 2008

We just got this playset for our 4 year old and she loves it. There are three different water activities and a pretty decent slide (works great with tiny rubber duckies too!) that entertain her for the whole bath. We also use it as part of our "Fairytopia" world on dry ground. For me, it's well worth the $16. It comes with a mermaid that is very practical and she loves it. It fits everything in the playset. Unfortunately, I also purchased the full-size mermaid that is sold seperately but looks like it fits great in the swing. It doesn't. The mermaid sold seperately but marketed as a companion to this piece falls out easily of the swing and gets caught on the slide since her tail is a soft plastic. The swing is also very unstable and falls off it's supports. We stopped even using it. Overall, this is just pure fun for us. I would buy this again and would give it as a gift.
