Got one for my frustrated 5 year-old a couple years ago. Lasted at least a year (no leaks). Water never leaked out of base; quite amazingly.

Great heavy-duty vinyl - not like the little clowns we got when we were 2 or 3! A few steps up from that, but of course, srill not for heavy hitters. Kids - probably under 10. Mine is into Kung Fu and is 8 years old and I plan to get one more of these before moving to something heavier duty.   Permalink
