One customer said: "So great, I bought two - one for water, one for sand. Great sensory play." Another added: "Bought this for my grandson’s third birthday, his face was a picture when he saw it. Great value for money and the lid is a bonus to keep pets and vermin out."
A third reviewer commented: "I bought this in the summer for my daughter’s first birthday, she absolutely loved it! Hours of fun playing in the sand. Also, we have filled up with water too for her to splash about in there, great price and good sizing also comes with a thick plastic lid as a cover, stores great for winter."
Notable Drawbacks
Some users noted issues with the lid. One said: "Really good size for my two-year-old grandson. The lid does not fit well and is flimsy, so you have to weigh it, or it blows off even in light wind." Another echoed this, stating the lid "needs weighting down."
