Water table recs

[sudsy]

Which water tables do you have for your kids? I’m looking for one under $100 that can accommodate 2 kids that have trouble sharing sometimes. Have a favorite?

[joy]

We have a basic one with no frills sorta like this one. My kid happily pours water from cups all over.

My sister had this for her two kids. Inevitably, they put balls that were too big in the center tunnel. They couldn’t get them out so that part became useless fast. Eventually, the other stuff broke, too.

It takes like 2 minutes with a screwdriver to remedy that. 

Ours is still functional. I'll likely drag it out at some point to open up space in the shed.

It was just a constant problem so they stopped fishing them out. I dunno - they have a lot of balls.

We have this one: www.amazon.com/Step2-Spill-Splash-Seaway-Water/dp/B0193MPQK4/ref=sr_1_7?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1527381965&sr=1-7&keywords=water+table

My kid is on her 3rd summer with it and still going strong. She finally gets the things that launch stuff into the water this year.

[Betweenthelines]

We have this one and both my kids (2.5 & 4.5) have been loving it

I have this one. They did break the spiral the first year but the company sent me a free replacement and it is 3 or 4 years old now so money well spent. I have seen kids climb in it, balls have been jammed in, but it is still standing.

We have this one and DD loves it.

Yes, we have this one and A put myriad toys that got stuck in there and it was never any problem getting them out. We got it for her 1st bday and she still plays with it 3+ years later. We love it!

We just replaced the ome with the twist center thing with this one:

I almost said TWSS, and I stopped myself.

We've had this one for a couple years now.

My kids like that you can fling the toys. I think they're supposed to fling into the table, but my kids get them all over the yard.

We have that one. Two minutes with a screwdriver add up after the 10,000 time. 😂

[sahara]

We have this one:

We also take the wheel thing to the coast & DD pours sand through it. It’s held up well.

[emma]

I have this one, under $100 and has 2 sides. I put water both sides

[dreadpirateroberts]

We have the swirling seas one and my kids love it. They have actually both played with it without many fights, although I did have to add a cup so they could both dump water down the swirl.

[leahcar]

We have this. I skip the sand and do all water. This is its third summer; it was a great use of $20.

We have the paw patrol one from amazon. It was $42. I can’t link it because my brain isn’t functioning enough today to figure out how to do it. G looooooves it.

[ColorShock]

We got the one the little tykes one with the swirly thing in the middle yesterday. My kid loves it. It’s small enough for our small patio and it’s been fun. I like that there are no things to fling because then it’d be annoying.

One of my friends has the step 2 duck one at her house for L. It’s amazing. I like that one a lot, too.

Really, I don’t think you can go wrong. I’d pick a price point and get one.

I wanted one ASAP if I would have gotten this one.

We have this one just a different version but same brand.

We used to have just the water table with the swirly thing but we left it outside for far too long and it was gross and we wanted a sand/water table so we trashed that one and upgraded.

Agreed. My kid managed to lose all the pieces to ours because none were attached so it’s basically a basin of water. I throw some cups in there and they’re happy for hours.

We have this one but got it in Costo for $37

My parents bought this one for their house.  DD is obsessed.  

We have the Little Tikes Fun Factory STEM table at our house but I haven't put it together yet.

[macic]

We have this one from Step 2 (similar to what other have posted). We are on summer #3 with it and it works well. But I remember it being a o
Big PITA to put together. And all the little side pieces (slide, etc) and the tippy bucket come off all the time. It’s at the point that I don’t even put them back on anymore.

I also don’t use the umbrella. I thought I’d like that part, but ours doesn’t really stay up.

I’d go simple.

[frantastic]

We started with the center spiral one, and it has held up well, but needed something bigger this year (kids are 2 & 4). I ended up finding the one macic posted for $5 on a BST site. It's missing the umbrella and slide pieces, but the kids don't care.

[lifesaverz]

We bought this one for DS’s 2nd birthday last month & the kids are loving it.

DS loves balls so that’s a big hit, & it’s a nice size. We got our on Amazon for cheaper, I believe around $40.
