What they say: "All aboard! PLAYMOBIL's 1,2,3 My Take Along Ship is perfect for young sailors to explore on their first exciting cruise. With brightly-coloured fish and an orca joining them on their voyage, this set is great for toddlers at bath-time or in the paddling pool.

"Little ones can man the ship or enjoy the view, developing their motor skills and curiosity during creative play. What's more, there's plenty of storage space inside, as the practical carry handle means that the floating ship can be taken anywhere - ideal to bring on holiday!"

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would recommend this product to anyone with a child that loves boats. It was easy to put together. It was really easy to use and my son had so much fun with it in the bath. The design was lovely and looked just like a small river cruise boat. The colour and the people were designed perfectly. It was also very easy to take apart.

How did this product make your life easier?

Having this product my bath time fun for my son, who usually makes a fuss about going in but the boat really makes it enjoyable for him. He also loved playing with it out of the bath and spends ages playing with it while I'm doing jobs.

Would you choose this product to win?

It is the perfect toy, it can be used either in or out of water. There is more than just one thing that makes the product stand out, the colour was lovely the characters and the sea animals that came with it were easy for my son to hold.

What changes would you make to this product?

The one thing that I would change would be to make the flag at the back a bit bigger and the dog slightly bigger. Apart from that I wouldn't change anything about the product, it gave my son hours of fun and everything else seems perfect with the product.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Wow what can I say about this product? I would totally recommend it to other parents all my kids and nephews have had great fun with this toy. It is hardwearing, we love it that it can go in the bath and also the bigger kids have played with it in the swimming pool. It was also been thoroughly enjoyed by my son who has enjoyed playing with the animals

How did this product make your life easier?

This product has improved bath time for the kids and me, it is something that I probably wouldn't have purchased but we have all enjoyed pretending to be the different animals and sailing the boat in the bath. It has also engaged my son into making the different noises of the animals. Has also helped me doing games with the kids and them building the boat.

Would you choose this product to win?

It has brought great fun to our house this summer, at bath time, playing in the paddling pool and also playing in general every single child who has come to play the last few weeks has played with the boat and animals. We really do love this toy and has been enjoyed by all ages.

What changes would you make to this product?

To be fair there isn't anything I would want to change as it has it all.
