Step 2 Pump & Splash Discovery Pond Water Table, Kids Water Sensory Activity Pool, Summer Outdoor Toys, 10 Piece Toy Accessories, For Toddlers 2+ Years Old

I bought this to put on my porch for my 2 year old grandson. He ADORES it! He plays in it, literally for HOURS and cries when he has to go inside. DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It’s perfect for his age, very sturdy and well built (as all Step 2 products are), comes with lots of fun accessories, and fits great on my porch where the pets won’t bother him. It’s also nice, muted colors as opposed to the bright tacky shades you often find in children’s toys. All in all, it’s a total NO REGRETS purchase!

The bad news: the reviews about the pump being kind of crummy are true. However, if you "prime" it first (just pour water in the top and pump until it starts working) it works enough to be fun. Other than that, the rest of the features are cool. My 3 year old thinks this is the greatest thing ever, and begs for me to fill it up every time we go outside. It's super sturdy, and big enough for multiple littles to play at once.

Our two grandsons love this water table! We got it for a 4 year old but his 2 year old brother loves it too. They can actually sit in the bottom in the water. Great gift!!

Fast and easy set up. Both my 1 year old and 7 year old were entertained with all the features for quite a while!

Final update almost a year after buying. I see reviews saying it was a tube falling off problem. That may be the case for them, but we have the repair kit that stops that and it still did not work- you have to unscrew the pump and put a lube on it like aquaphor/Vaseline every couple of uses to keep the pump working. These are instructions directly from the manufacturer. We called Step 2 again and this is the “fix”. It does work when you do this. But what a complete pain! A water table should not require unscrewing parts, applying lube, and reassembling several times over the summer. Please test your products better before releasing Step 2!*** Kid you not - it broke again- this time when I was pumping it for them so I know it wasn’t being misused! I bought this in May for my kids and it’s now August. Instead of having fun with this table all summer, it’s been endless phone calls, waiting on shipments, and repairing. Now we are past the Amazon return window so it’s just a loss for us (over $100)- unless we want to continue calling and waiting each time it breaks for a new part that lasts- at most- two weeks. I expect more from step 2!*** Hopefully last updateStep 2 sent another pump and this one has been working for a few weeks. I’m tentatively updating the stars if it continues working. The pump is hard for even my nine year old to pump, therefor I’m giving it four stars. I have heard some people use silicone spray for this problem, but for this price, and after three re-assemblies from broken pumps, I’m not also purchasing spray to make it work better ** Update: After waiting on hold for over an hour again, Step 2 sent out a 3-d printed part that attaches to the bottom of the pump tube to fix the pump problem. It did absolutely nothing. The pump still does not work. When will they address the actual problem with the pump- the seal that moves and becomes stuck within a day or two? My husband even sent them a short video showing the problem, which they ignored. At this point, we are considering returning since we’ve had this product for weeks and the main feature remains unusable- but my kids are so disappointed and this thing will be a huge pain to return. I wish they would work out an actual solution! We have many Step 2 toys that have lasted almost a decade and I’m so thoroughly disappointed in the lack of adequate engineering in this product as well as inadequate testing before going to market.**I will update my product review if/when Step2 fixes the pump problem. As of now, the pump stops working after a day or two. Other reviewers have had the same problem. Step 2 was very nice and sent a replacement pump, but it also stopped working after two days. If the pump did not fail so quickly, I would easily give this pond five stars. We bought it to replace our water table to better suit our kids (9,6,2) because the older kids still love water tables but most tables are too short for them to play comfortably. This one is tall enough for easy play for the big kids and short enough for the toddler in other areas. Most children under three will not be old enough to operate the pump but there are many other entertaining areas! A great design (minus the pump problem) for all ages! As of now, I would not order this pond until they work out the pump problem. I will update my review when the problem is resolved.

Similar to other reviews the pump is hit or miss if it will work. The tube needs to be fully primed and it works just fine, it just doesn’t like to stay full with kids splashing and playing the pool below. But it is easy to pour water into from the top to fill and get it working again.My box arrived barely taped together and ripped and missing the directions. Thankfully a quick Internet search I found them and was able to put it together.Overall would purchase again. My kids love it.

I purchased this for my grand sons 3rd birthday gift and it was a massive hit. Definitely his favorite present. It was easy to put together, after finding a bag of parts hidden under the base. It is held together using long screws.It comes with several toys including a rubber duck, fish and frog as well as a lily pad and bucket.It's big enough that he can sit inside the base and play.The pump is a cool feature and spins around so you can pour the water in any direction.

Great toy for toddlers. Lots of activities for them to do plus the bottom portion is big enough for them to get in the water and play.
