Oli and Carol bath ducks

Rub a dub dub, babies and kids love spending time in the tub, and a bubbly bath with their favourite toy is the perfect way to end their day.

Bath toys are specifically designed for water play and entertainment. But not all bath toys are created equal. Some have holes in the bottom and trap water night after night, quickly filling with mould and bacteria. Yuk.

For squeaky clean kids and squeaky clean toys, put the bath toys with holes back on the shelf and opt for one of these sealed and safe alternatives instead.
