I have read of this bath toy for the first time about the journal PARENTS something and then also ordered it. My little one (2.5) could thus endlessly play in the water. The advertising also delivers what it promises. The water flows in the photos can be seen in fine beam, the batteries should last apparently also really long, even though the engine has something to do while pumping the water a lot. The toy has a pleasant sound is not loud. And it looks as pretty as the pictures.
