do the small pieces float? or will they get lost if taken to a lake? Also, how big is the boat?

the little pieces will definitely get lost and i don't think any of them float. I have lost most of them down the drain already but my kid doesn't seem to miss them. He just loves the people and the boat

The small pieces do float, but they are small. The boat is not as big as I thought, about ten inches long. I bought this for my grandchildren ages 9, 7 & 5 and they love playing with it in the pool and out of the pool.

Most of the small pieces sink, I removed the small pieces because there are alot of them and my son is only 2 1/2. We play just with the boat and the people. The boat is pretty big, maybe about a foot long. We really love it for bath time. You could take the boat to the lake but I wouldn't take the small pieces. People and boat a yes. We love this boat - just like Grandpa's! Enjoy!

The boat was a great size but the pieces were too small and got lost,I don't believe they float.

The pieces do not float...great for the bathtub or maybe a pool, but not a lake! The boat is about 10-12 inches long.

All pieces float; my grandson age 7, had a great time with this boat in the pool. won't get lost if child follows it in the water. does not sink. boat is probably 15 inches long; check details with retail listing..

Perfect size for playing in the tub. The small pieces would not work well in a lake but are a wonderful addition when playing. My grandson LOVES this boat!!

Small pieces are long gone, but important pieces are still great to play with . Great toy !

My six year old with bathtub experience informs me, the kids sink, the grown-ups and the boat float, and the small things sink. She doesn't recommend playing with it in a lake. The bathtub is perfect.

all small pieces sink so they could go down the drain or end up at the bottom of a lake :) Boat is slightly smaller than the dimensions of the box, like 11x5.

It can go in the water, but I wouldn't consider it a water toy. It has to be drained out afterwards, as do the rest of the fleet.

They do float, but for a very short time. I'm more inclined to just say no. However, when my grandson is playing in the tub, the cars have stayed above water.

5-10 not really sure, perfect for our little lake with our younger kids, but really a entry level boat

Not sure of the exact size. I do know that it is a really perfect size for children. So are the pieces. Nice size. Not to big and not small. I also would say the boat is about the size of a shoe box.

I have mine stored in a large plastic container with all the accessories. We have used this boat several times with no problems.

It is a fast little boat, but remember it is small. Mine is also very water tight. But, the water must be smooth...or you run the risk of flipping it over.

Not very big. We've had for awhile and once out of the box not easy to get back in. It is stored in a large duffel now. The oars are useless. One broke on us right away. I would use small canoe paddles instead.

Yes. Not only do they float, but they swim as well. It's a really neat toy. (By the way, I'm an Indiana grandmother too!)

They don't lock in, springlike tension of the seat frame hold them in place. I wouldn't tow it with the seats on the boat. The glider is part of the boat itself and they are at the top of the side shelfs, so you sit plenty high. I bent my seat frame a little so I could move it easier while on the water.

We have had two adults on it just fine. They were both medium height and weight. I love the float, but it should come with something to blow it up with.

I've never taken it to the lake but just did a test for you in the kitchen sink. It doesn't not float and is pretty heavy when compared to a tennis ball. Hope this helps.

They float. They will eventually sink, but my daughter drops the magnet down into the water & is able to catch them that way. We've not had any issues with them not coming up out of the water. The toy can also be played with out of water.

No, this is a great boat but I would suggest only using it on smaller lakes. If you are looking to take an inflatable boat into the ocean there's only one choice...a Zodiak.

It is a Christmas gift, so we haven't tested it out yet, but it seems as though it would float. It is fairly light weight.

It comes with foam inside the shaft and a foam ring on the outside. It floats pretty well by itself. It will still float without the outer foam ring, just less so. I lost one in a river, but I can't say for sure that more flotation would have made a difference. On flat water it will be fine.

The float is for a child. It is almost too small for my daughter. She is 5'1" and around 75lb.
