Customer Reviews

Argh! Bathtime fun fer yer wee maties!
My kids (2 & 5) are big fans of the Backyardigans, especially the Pirate adventure episode. (Confession time: Mom & Dad are rather fond of that episode too. "Argh!")

They really enjoy the Pirate Tub Time Adventure playset. It's quite a tub-worthy vessel. The only problems are (1) the mast does not snap firmly into the base, so it's always falling off and (2) only Captain Uniqua and Captain Pablo are included. The wee maties missed Captains Tyrone and Austin.

It actually floats, and it's sad that that's surprising
Sadly most bathtub floating toys that are built for 3 year olds and younger are so badly designed that the last place you can put them is in water. Most won't float at all, or if they do they're so poorly balanced that they only float upside down (for example these days most rubber ducks seem to be designed by either complete incompetents or people with a very sick sense of humour).

Imagine my surprise! This boat does actually float - well, at least until you try to put the Pablo and Uniqua figures in it. At that point it usually topples them into the water because it is so top-heavy and unstable that it can't take more than an ounce of weight on the deck unless the figures are perfectly balanced. However, it does float and it is possible to get Pablo and Uniqua into it if you carefully balance them to counteract each other's weight. This lasts only a few seconds unless the water is perfectly still - but with a kid in the bath that ain't gonna happen. Still - balancing them and watching them fall can be a fun game for a three year-old, so three stars for the fact that there's some fun to be had with this toy (although perhaps not intened by the manufacturer) and for the fact that this boat can actually float, although one would think that the health of the industry wouldn't be in such a poor state that toy boats would get a couple of stars simply for floating upright, but I guess that's where we are these days.

Is it right for my toddler?
While it looks like fun and does float, we found that the pole that the sail is on doesn't fasten correctly and so as soon as the child grabs it, the sail & pole pop off of the boat and doesn't fasten back on well. The characters that come with the ship have room inside for storage but must be placed in an exact & specific way usually too complex for a toddler, While there is an area to snap the treasure chest into that will secure it, there is no way to keep one of the characters behind the wheel. If you are looking for all of the peices to be apart & floating in the tub, it works.

This product didn't meet our expectation though and we are returning it.
