Since we don't have a pool, or even a koi pond, we had to get creative.
We decided to get the Step 2 Waterwheel Play Table. It's just that, a table that holds water. Here's my review:

Assembly
I didn't assemble this toy, my wife did. It didn't take her very long so I can only assume it went together easily. So I don't have much to say here.
Durability
After only about an hours worth of use it seems to be very durable. No leaks. No legs broke off. It didn't explode. Nothing. It feels solid. And considering it holds water (which gets heavy very fast) it's some pretty strong plastic.
I'm not worried about this water table falling apart anytime soon. If I was a betting man, I'd say that my DS will outgrow it before it falls apart.
Playing Fun
My son loved it. He loves taking baths and splashing around. The water table comes with little sailboats (that do fall apart easily) and a cup. He spent most of the time splashing in the water and playing with the sailboats.

He also like taking cups of water and dumping them onto the pavement. I guess the weeds in the pavement cracks need some watering.
The thing I like about this toy the most is that it keeps my son in one area. I was actually able to sit on the steps of my deck and watch him play, instead of chasing him all over the lawn (and sometimes down the street). This is a big plus in my book.
Verdict
I'd certainly recommend this product, especially if you live in an area where it tends to be hot and humid during the summer months.
The only downside (and it's not a very big one) is that it has no plug to empty the water out. So you have to dump the thing on its side. Not a deal breaker, but still a minor annoyance.
I don't think this will make your toddler the coolest kid on the block. But it will keep him cool!
