User Submitted Splash Around Dora and Twins Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-03-16 Great Tub-Time Toy! This toy was one of the first in our collection of water toys and is still going strong! Purchased over a year and a half ago, my little boy will be three next month and he still loves to squirt both Dora and me with the Boots. The vest on the one I bought still changes colors when it gets wet and Doras head has not gotten water inside of it. The Boots did get moldy inside despite my best efforts to squeeze all the water out and allow to dry on its side. I now once a month fill the bathroom sink with hot water and add a capful or two of bleach and squeeze it in and out several times -- this works well for all his "squirtys". Also, we had an opportunity to ride in a friends boat and while all the other kids were screaming they didn't want a vest on, my son willingly jumped into his saying "I'm just like Dora Mommy"! Date: 2005-11-10 great toy My daughter has had two of these. She loves Dora and this toy is great at the pool and in the tub. I also like that Dora has a life vest, it reminds my daughter that she needs her vest to get in the pool. I replaced one becasue of the mold and soap scum build up. Date: 2005-09-26 nasty!!! After a few weeks Dora's head was full of water that could not be removed and Boots was full of water that at times squirted out black slimy mold. We threw it away!!! Very cute but needs to be made waterproof if it is to be a bath toy. Date: 2005-08-08 Still a FAVORITE several months later.... My 2 y/o daughter was absolutely exstatic that her favorite character could now join her in the tub and several months later, still plays with this set almost every bath!!! Both are made of very durable plastic and rubber and are a great large size making them easy for little hands to hold. Dora's head, arms, and waist are moveable, she stands alone when wearing her flippers, and her life-jacket changes color in warm water. Boots sits in his ring and can be squeezed to squirt water. Please do NOT let the other reviews scare you away... This toy has had a permanent home in our tub for several months and I have NOT had any problem of water inside Dora. She has always been top-heavy in that the head is the heaviest part of her body, but I have shaken her over and over again and have NEVER had any water in her at all! Boots does hold water, but so do ALL squirting bath toys and it's the parent's responsibility to clean up/empty out such bath toys at the end of the bath to prevent mold/mildew. I do agree with a few points... Dora's life-jacket is hard for a small child to take on/off, but my daughter has learned that if you put one of Dora's arms back, it's much easier. I do also wish she stood up without her flippers. Boots does float a little crooked, but I have 2 bags of bath toys and don't think any really float just right... they are just bath TOYS afterall. Overall, considering the low price and months of play we have already gotten out of this, I consider it well worth it and lots of fun for any little Dora fan!! Date: 2005-07-16 water water everywhere My 2 1/2 yr old daughter is a huge Dora fan. This was a gift given to us. She pretty muched ditched all her other bath toys to play with Dora. Dora's head is Full of water. After using all my strength to remove her head to drain the water, I noticed mold around the inside. I can't figure out how the water gets in, nor you can't get it out. This should not be sold as a bath toy. It's a bacteria wasteland is what it is. As other people have mentioned, she is top heavy standing is an issue, boots doesn't exactly "float" either. It's all around a pourly made toy. I wouldn't waste your money.
