Little Tikes Anchors Away Water Play Table

I love the concept of this toy. I like the fact that it is water only (so sand doesn't get mixed in as with other tables). My two sons ages 2 and 7 (and all of the neighborhood kids) loved it the first few days we had it, although our plank and cannon squirter broke as well. The plank should be secured with screws, not plastic pegs. The squirter constantly falls off of the "hinges" and the plastic tubing comes off which is frustrating for my 2 year old. Again, cute product, but I wish it was made better.

My family loves pirate stuff, so despite the high price and bad reviews we decided we needed this toy.

I think it says ages 2 or 3 and up on this thing, but my 3 year old as well as my 10 month old love it! The novelty of the toy has worn off for my daughter (3) but my baby (10 months) still loves it.

I feel for a Little Tikes toy that this toy just feels so cheaply made for the price they are asking for. The motorized fountain has a little filter screen that gets filled easily with junk and 1 time even after clearing all the stuff and making sure there was enough water I had a hard time getting it to work again. I wish the hose on the cannon was longer. Its hard to always be able to get it working if you only fill the water to the max fill line. Also the cannon easily comes off which is a little irritating. I don't know if they did this on purpose because yesterday my daughter enjoyed playing with cannon in the baby pool. It worked great in there... Read more

I bought this water table over others because I love the role playing aspect of it. But, I am quite disappointed in the quality. As others have said, the cannon squirter came off immediately and although it goes back on, it's a pain to continually be fixing it. Also, for us, although the fountain works, it doesn't work well enough to spin the wheels. Also the people are a bit odd - their hands look like they should be able to grip the wheel, but unless you stand them sideways, they can't. Lastly, we can't get the water to fully drain from the inside of the ship. I'm sure the water being in there helps with stability when it's full, but I'm concerned that we're going to end up with mold in the inside of the ship (not where the kids touch, but still...not good). I'm still giving it three stars because it's cute and fun.
