Customer Reviews

Annoying to put together but my 5 yr old loves it
Once you take scissors to the 1/2 a million clear rubber bands that hold this doll and dogs to the cardboard packaging, your frustration is only beginning. Putting the pool together is a pain in the butt! However, it was all worth it to see my daughter enjoying the aftermath when it was finally assembled.

They don't make Barbies like they used to, though. I have a Barbie doll from the 1980's that's made much more durably than this one!

Barbie Swimming Pool
I Bought this for My 3 year old Daughter and she liked it. But the pool rails would not stay connected so it frustrated her. so she played with it a few times while she was bathing. But She loves the dog & Barbie that came with it.

Cute Toy But Has It's Downfalls
My daughter wanted this toy very badly for her 8th birthday. She was excited when she got it and couldn't wait to get it out of the box. That is downfall number one. I understand the need to prevent theft but it took about 15 minutes just to get it out of the packaging. Once it was out of the packaging it took another 15-20 minutes to get the pool assembled. If this pool isn't filled with water it has a tendency to fall apart making it difficult to move without having to reassemble here or there. Once filled with water, if you keep it in one spot, it holds up pretty well. I kept wondering why they used pieces of pink plastic that you had to methodically slide through a series of plastic loops and then hook together instead of just using a top ring that you fill with air (sort of like the common "pop up" pools people use). After all was said and done, my daughter played with this toy for a total of 4 hours. Then she took it apart and had more fun "making things" with the plastic pieces. When I asked her if she wanted me to put it back together so she could fill the pool up and play she declined. She hasn't asked for it to be put together again since.
