A Closer Look Into The Funnest Boat Bath Toys
Hopefully the comparison chart above has given you a few ideas about which boat bath toys are the right ones for your baby. If you’re still undecided, read on and we will explore the top options in even more detail below.
1. Green Toys Ferry Boat with Mini Cars Bathtub Toy
The toy ferry boat is the largest on our list at 10 inches wide, and your child can take full advantage of its size because it actually comes with two bonus mini cars that fit perfectly in its cargo hold. An endless amount of fun can be had in the bath tub playing with the boat and then loading up the cars for transportation across the tub. As another bonus, besides being perfect for the tub, in part because of the cars this boat is also a great play toy outside the tub. The stated recommended age on the toy is 3 and up, but the boat itself is quite large without small pieces, so is generally as safe as it gets when it comes to bath toys.
2. The Kid O Tug Boat
Besides looking quite sleek for a toy boat, part of the great design of this toy is that the buoy in the back of the boat is actually detachable, adding to the imaginative fun that can be had with it in the tub and helping to stimulate gross motor skills for the child. Your child will have a lot of fun removing the buoy ring, playing with it around the tub, and then putting it back on its little tab. The manufacturer lists this toy as designed for children ages 1 year and up.
To the point, bright colors, and high quality, there’s not much more you could ask for in a simple toy boat like this.
3. Green Toys My First Tugboat
What makes this toy extra fun is that water actually fills the hull of this boat by design, so it can be poured out the spout at the front of the boat! Your child can have loads of fun making waterfalls with the boat, or you can use it to help make hair-rinsing time a little more enjoyable for the little one.
Having a toy where water goes through the inside makes it more susceptible to mold, so make sure to keep in mind that you can run this toy through the dishwasher as a regular means of cleaning, or add it to the things you use your mold-free preventative spray on. But if customer reviews are any indication, it’s not much to worry about, as with a 4.7-star average rating, parents seem to be thrilled with this tugboat. It’s designed for children 1 year and up, and, like all Green Toys products, this toy boat comes in low-impact recycled cardboard packaging.
4. Elegant Baby Fun Rubber Water Squirties Boat Party, Set of 6
Though a very simple toy, sometimes it’s the simplest of toys that are the funnest and you get the most mileage out of. These boats are designed for kids of all ages, including infants and toddlers. They come as a set of 6 in a clear vinyl bag for easy storage or gift giving. With an average rating of 4.4 stars, this set of water squirter boats are still among the top-rated boat bath toys around.
5. Playskool Sesame Street Elmo Bath Adventure Steamboat Toy
This boat is listed as 5-in-1 because the different pieces of the boat come off to perform their own fun. The paddle wheel on the back of the steamboat, for instance, has a suction cup that can be attached to the wall so your baby can pour water over it to spin it. The smoke stack is a water strainer, the cabin scoops and pours, the hull floats, and Captain Elmo is a little squirt toy!
Designed for children 18 months and older, this toy boat has earned a very high 4.8-star average rating from parents who have resoundingly approved. When it comes to getting the little ones excited, it’s hard to go wrong with Elmo. And with this boat in particular there sure is a lot of fun packed into one toy.
6. B. Fish and Splish Boat
With so many pieces you can imagine that this toy is not designed for infants. In fact it is listed for ages 3 years and up. And while it is the most expensive toy boat in our list, it is also the one with the most moving pieces that can perhaps better keep an older imaginative child entertained for longer.
