It is hard (awkward) to fill the can with water? I am looking to get it for my 3 yr old.

Awhh for your three year old this will be perfect! The handle does go directly over the hole on top however because the hole is so big your three year old will have no problem filling it with water or being able to tell when it is full. When your outside you can put the Living Accents Watering Pot on the grass and let him or her fill it with the water hose and then carry it to the watering destination it is perfect for little hands and it is a super cute design. Enjoy sharing with your child the fun in planting, growing and making healthy choices!

no, it is very easy to fill, I use the kitchen or bathroom faucet! My kids love it!

yeah it's just really difficult to just pour things in. I suggest an eye-dropper when re-filling it.

Maybe with an older child who is able to drink from a regular cup, but I wouldn't use them with liquids with a little one. It could get very messy very quickly! Haven't had a problem with my kiddo opening the seal at the bottom- I don't think he realizes it's there. He is 23 months.

Agree, filling from the bottom is a pain. I just tried drilling a hole in the top and the water just runs out. Based on other responses it looks like I ruined it.

No! It's just like a Rubbermaid garbage can. The kid clips down tight. I'd image if it was tipped over it would spill fluids. But they would have to be loose like a can of pop

It can be a pain to fill. The top where the pump is unscrews so you can fill it up.

It is easy for children to open the tip part and fill up water. But the pen quality is not good. The tip gets break easily. Even with the light pressure wen a child tries to write on mat, the tip gets break. That's my personal experience.

Yes, it is a little hard to get the mat in and out of the bags and the stawstring of the side packet for bottle water is too short, make it very difficult to use.

My baby is less than three months old, therefore I still have not filled up the tub all the way. I filled it just enough for him to lay down and not get water on his face or mouth.

Pablo, you need to squeeze all of the air out of it without losing any of the water getting out. It' difficult to do but worth it if you get the air out.

No, it's quite hard. Mine only leaked from screwing on the top too tight and cracking the plastic.

I found that to be a big problem. My two year olds were getting frustrated trying to drink through the plastic valve, so I tried it myself. Even I, an adult, could barely get liquid through the valve, so I don't think babies/toddlers can. Without the plastic valve, the sippy cap is not leak proof. I returned my set to Amazon.

My experience is that the valve inserts are quite finicky and even when they are seated in properly, they are very difficult to drink from. Our 4/2 year olds had trouble getting much out with the valves in. Liquids flow freely without the valves, so much so that it spills out when tipped.

I usually add a lot of water and it becomes like a juice. I give him a straw, too. My nephew is the pickiest and I just him that the sooner he drinks it the sooner he won't taste it.

I cannot put my hand in it, but my kid can. I use a brush, but I am using filtered water so I only have to do it once in a great while.

I see your problem! I had to read the instructions. On the bottom there is a wavy piece of plastic, wavy for water, but it also makes a nice handle. Turn it counter-clockwise to open, remove, fill, turn clockwise to close. Easy, yes, once you know how!

It's hard, but very easy to drink out of. I introduce it to my kids at 6 months and they use it unto they transition to a cup. I have 3 kids.
