Would this water table be appropriate for a 16 month old? Is the tower wheel too tall?

Yes, for 16 month old the tower is tall. But my 12 month old plays with ship and other toys. Any way, there is a lot of fun to play with this table.

There is a very good chance that the water tower could be too tall for a toddler of 16 mos. The one-year old could not reach it, but the 2 1/2 year old handled it just fine. At the rate these little ones grow it would not take long for him or her to enjoy the water tower (a helping hand from a older child or adult could resolve the temporary height problem). There are other water features and objects to keep them entertained! Check out the spinning octopus in the middle of the table with it's spray of water! Actually it was my favorite feature on the table :)

I purchased this for my Grandson that just turned 2, and he is on the tiny side. He holds a hose and makes the water wheel go around, but there are so many other things to play with for a 16month old..All my Grandkids played with the water tables for years till they were older.. I think it would be appropriate in my opinion..

I ordered it when the 2 little boys I watch were 15 months, and they love it. Now that they are 17 months, they are better able to reach the tower wheel and this water table keeps them happy for hours. We all love it!!

it is big enough for 8 year olds to get inside and paddle it along. Our pool is at ground level but the wheel works best in a large pool - so probably width / length is important to consider as well. Our pool is in a condo - so 5 metres wide by 20 metres long and it's a good size to play with the wheel.

I bought this for my 1 year old about 6 months ago. The bar seems to be the right height for her to hang on to and bounce. She will be 2 in a few months. I think I would invest in something different for a 9 year old unless they have trouble with coordination and balance.

Yes. Too tall. Probably good for 3 and 4 year old. My son is 6 we sold ours years ago

It's a good height but my dog could jump over it when she was 1 1/2 old. Solution: We just set the base higher off the ground! :)

I believe this would be fine for a 2 to 3 year old. At four I would look for something different. My granddaughter is 15 months but in the 97th percentile for height and 80th percentile for weight and she still loves it and rides it very happily.

I have not used it as a toy, doing so had not crossed my mind until your question. As something to get wet with it would probably work well with the seven-year olds, but of course is not designed for this. I would be concerned about the 16 month old taking a blast of water to the eyes. Such usage would be outside the manufacturers usage guidelines. I can't help but believe that there has to be other water toys more suitable for kids, and for having fun. Of course, this sprinkler can also water your yard! Due to the plastic construction of this sprinkler, and, a seemingly fragile rotating head mechanism I would not expect it to last long for play use. How about? http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Blossom-Bright-Sprinkler/dp/B001RE8LMW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1401064643&sr=8-2&keywords=water+toys

The height should be fine, my son is 16 months and still uses his fine. We have had no problems with the tAble and have had it for about a year now.

I would go for the 16 inch. The bike has training wheels so is stable, and the kids grow so fast!

My daughter was 8 months old and sitting up when we used this. If your child cannot sit up on their own I might be concerned as this float does not have straps to hold the child in position. I hope that helps!

You don't say how old you and your cousin are. For my 16 month old granddaughter it is fine and could fit two more toddlers comfortably allowing them to play. Possibly even 4. In the details as you read the article it lists Capacity: 9-1/2-Inch, 74-gallon *Includes drain plug *Comes with repair patch *62-Inch by 62-inch by 48-Inch inflated

Yes, assuming you monitor the activity as age appropriate. I think that the weight would be no problem. The rice might get caught in the wheel so I would choose the beans. If a toddler is tempted to eat sand, you might be able to try breadcrumbs. My two year old grandchild uses it indoors with water. It is a great resource for toddlers. I have the model without the release tab but I empty it in no time with a large cup. The height is convenient for toddlers (4 toddlers could play with room to spare).

The sides are about 18" high but we only put water about 4-6" deep for the 15-month old. Works well because he is discouraged from climbing out.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

I think so. Bought it for my grandson's 2nd birthday, but his cousin who is 16 months old played with it....the two of them had a blast dumping the sand from the one side into the water side!! Be sure to have extra sand available!

in my opinion, he may be a little big for it. I usually give it as a 1st bday gift, although 1 1/2-2 appears to be the best age for it. I am not sure of the height from the ground b/c I give it as gifts. That being said, I have seen it used up to the age of 4, just depends how tall and flexible the kids are

It might be too tall for him/her, they would have to reach up to push it. I would say better for a 2+ year old.
