Thomas & Friends: Preschool Bathtub Squirters

I just got these bath toys and they smell horrible, with a very strong chemical odor. Do they need to de-gas for a while or what? I think I’m going to leave them outside for a few days. Something that smells this bad cannot be safe for my child.

These toys are too difficult for little hands. Takes too much strength to make them squirt.

I bought these for my 2 year old. He loved playing with them in the tub. They are very hard to squeeze the water out. I also noticed that after the first time using them, flaky blackish stuff comes out of the hole when you squirt them. Kinda looks like fungus or mold. If you just want to play with them on the water’s surface then fine. But dont plan on squeezing them too often without letting the water dry completely in them or you will have black flaky stuff floating in your child’s bath water!
I personally would not buy them again.

It sure is hard to find age appropriate toys for my little boy who adores Thomas the Train. At 13 months, he just isn’t old enough to play with the nicer train sets yet. In the mean time this makes a great alternative for him to play with till he is ready for the older ones. I don’t plan on taking them in the bath tub as I do like how over time mildew gets trapped in bath toys.
They did smell weird when I took them out of the package, but that disappeared after an hour or so. I thought they were also fairly expensive, but with no other alternatives you gotta do what you gotta do.

My 2 year daughter loves to play w/ this toy whenever taking a bath.
Made out of rubber, so it floats on water.
Only concern was that my dauther sometimes put them on her mouth.
However, there are no sign of peeling paint.
Otherwise, she loves to taking a bath (just to play w/ this toy).
