Little Tikes Turtle Sandbox 2.0

This is a terrible product. It took two hours to put together and it still isn't right because the pieces don't snap together correctly. We had one, one piece with a lid, when my kids were little, but this is not the same at all. It's also too small for more than a single toddler.

Bought this to replace our original sandbox that was taken away in a flood. Put this together 3 days ago? Rained yesterday, and water intrusion is significant along the seams on the lid. Very poor quality compared to the other one that was a solid bottom and lid- just 2 pieces. If you can find an old one used, you are much better off!

This sandbox is absolutely horrible to put together. It is a two person job. The holes are not aligned and well designed to snap in together. It took two people an hour because of all the shoving together it took. A rubber mallet was also required. Furthermore, the lid does not withstand the rain. The only true purpose of it is to keep larger things out like cats or insects. I wouldn’t spend more than $10 on this item. It was a headache.

The pieces aren’t aligned correctly to snap together. They don’t reach the holes that snap together

I got this because it had a lid to keep sand dry all summer long…first use it was soaked through. Yes, we put it together correctly. Having a lid that is multiple pieces you have to put together leads to teeny tiny cracks that water can get through.

Absolute garbage compared to the old 1 piece sand boxe they used to make. Sand is soaked for days after it rains. Sucks companies have become so cheap at manufacturing.

Much smaller than expected, difficult to put together, once together sand does not stay dry during rain storms even with lid closed

I would not wish this product on my worst enemy. It is JUNK. I tried to assemble it and it practically started cracking because the CHEAP pieces literally do not fit together. I will be returning this crap. My 1 year old could come up with a better design for this.

Cheap junk poor quality doesn't go together very well

This was a very cheaply made item. It is not the same sandbox from the 90's that I had when I was a kid. This comes in about 9-10 pieces, and I can see this breaking in a few months. It's not worth it.

I bought this sandbox and it is real hard to get the bottom together, but the main problem was it was put on the grass and in about 3 weeks it had lots of small worms in the sand. The lid was on it. So my grandson could not play in it anymore. Had to return it. This new design is not a good one. Not like the old sandboxes. Very disappointed.

Wow. Times have changed. My kids had a sand turtle in the 90s it was substantial and they could water it sand play. Fast forward to this purchase for my grandson. It’s in pieces that keep popping apart despite the screws what a disappointment

Terrible product. Used to be one-piece and work perfectly, the new one is total garbage. It barely fits together, and once it does it falls apart immediately. There’s no way that it would ever hold sand, let alone water.

I had this same sandbox 4 years ago for my two older children. I noticed when I purchased it month ago that the bottom of the sandbox is no longer one whole piece. It’s made with 4 pieces that snap together, but the pieces won’t stay put together. I would return it but I threw away the box it came in.

I grew up with the old school turtle sandbox and I loved it as a kid. I decided to pick this one up for my kid & it resulted in loss of sanity, 1 hour of assembly, and my kid running out into the road twice. This thing is a nightmare to assemble. I read the instructions. I watched the video. I’m convinced that the person who designed this new style doesn’t have children, has never seen a child, has never seen a children’s toy, & has no concept of how a sandbox works. A once simple 2 piece design now turned into the equivalent of assembling at 700 piece LEGO Millennium Falcon set, but from Temu, so the pieces don’t line up. Four quadrants make up the bottom, with one screw on the rim for each piece and the rest of the seam are allegedly clip in pieces. They don’t line up properly, they definitely don’t stay clipped in. The head is a cheap 2 piece that you have to just loosely hang on the edge of the sandbox. The lid was a little more secure than the bottom, which is wild to me since the weight of sand sits in the bottom, not the top. After an hour and a meltdown, I finally get the thing somewhat together to find out it’s like half the size they use to be. If I would’ve know all of this ahead of time, I would’ve just bought an old school one off of someone locally for half the price.

Its flimsy, the parts do not stay in place securely and i was too concerned about the kids getting easily pinched - decided not to use. Cute idea tho! Wish it was less flimsy.

I love this sandbox, so cute. EASY to put together and very STURDY. My kiddos will have so much fun with this all summer. Definitely not junk or trash. Worth the price.

It is the worse toy box ever the bottom on the inside keeps popping up ! Not worth the money what happened too the one piece sandboxe's the O.G turtle.😡

I have a sandbox that I bought for my 4 year old and LOVE. It’s heavy duty, like the one I had growing up, and can be used for sand or water. I’m in Texas and bought a second for my 1 year old to use with water, thinking the cover would be great to keep mosquitoes out. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that it had been ‘improved’. I really wanted to still like it but got more and more upset as the assembly progressed. Cheap plastic that does NOT easily ’click in to place’ as advertised. Even when screwed together, the tabs come apart. If the sandbox is going to cost more, it needs to be the same quality or better. This is terrible. Little Tikes should be embarrassed to sell so disappointing! I returned mine the same day and will be trying to find a solid one. Ridiculous!

We bought this for our grandson. It is thin, flimsy and would not stay snapped together. The lid is even worse. Terrible quality for the price. Looking for the old style where they were one piece and didn’t break apart.
