Fun boat and shark toy
My 3yo nephew received this as a birthday gift and immediately became obsessed with it! Win! He loves sharks so much that the shark trap immediately caught his attention. After opening all of his presents, this is the one he immediately wanted opened and ready to play. He spent a considerable amount of time playing with the boat and cars that come with it. He enjoyed putting the cars on the ramp and then letting them out into the water. He even put water in the front of the boat to shoot out. But, his favorite part of this toy is the shark that eats cars. We’ve only had it for a short time but he plays with it and when he does, his 8 year old sister plays with it too. Win-win!

Shark-prisingly disappointed
This toy set is so cheap a quarter of the shark’s teeth aren’t even painted. I’ll be surprised if this lasts a couple weeks. Not worth the price but kid really wanted it for birthday.

Toy with staying power
We got this for my son four years ago when he was 3 and it’s still in the toy rotation with my now 7 and 5 yo. The boat itself is still in great shape.

Be careful
My kids liked playing with it but be very careful. The shark catching crane part shut on my toddler’s finger, breaking open the skin and leaving a bruise. Highly doubt he will play with it again now.

A great toy
My son always gravitates to large, cumbersome plastic toys. I caved and bought this one and I'm glad I did. It makes a great toy both out and inside the bath tub. He loves it so much, I also purchased a second for the toy school drive around the holidays.

Fun toy, but expensive - snag when it's on sale
Great items. Bought one that wasn’t on sale and it was very pricey but got this one on sale and felt like we got a good deal. The small side boat keeps popping out but overall good toy
