Buy Thomas and Bulstrode Bath Buddies Now
Just got this for my 2 year old. Showed him how to pull the string to make it go and he really liked that part. Until about the 7th pull when the string got stuck in mid pull and won't move in or out. When it did move , the boat went Very SLowly through the water. This is a very poorly designed toy. Would have expected better from Thomas. I guess they've outsourced their designing to China , too.Thomas squirts like any other squirt toy, but Bulstrode doesn't float. This means you cannot put Thomas on the boat and float it around without it becoming the Titanic.It sinks like a rock. Be sure to expain to your Thomas fan child that he or she is getting a "submarine" not a boat.Sunday, June 30, 2013
Thomas and Bulstrode Bath Buddies
My 2 year old is a mad Thomas fan & was very excited to get this toy for his birthday. He loves the squeeze & squirt Thomas, but I actually ended up having to take the boat away from him because it sinks & he gets very frustrated. As soon as you pull the string to make the boat move through the water, it goes (very slowly) and sucks in water, so it makes it about halfway across the tub and then capsizes. We tried everything to make it work, but it is determined to sink to the bottom. After a few nights of crying episodes because his boat wouldn't stay on top of the water, I just took it out of the bath. I don't understand why they'd make a child's bath toy that doesn't float.I think the toy could be fun... if it worked. Like the other reviewer, we pulled the string a few times the first time we had it in the bath... then it got stuck and no longer works. It doesn't move very much in the water, and it sinks. I think it would almost be more useful out of the water. We only got it yesterday, and it's broken after one use in the tub... very frustrating! I'll try to see if we can return it. Don't waste your time on this one.
