Would you recommend this to other mums?
The bath floats are cost effective and well made. The characters stimulated my children's imagination with my two and a half year old having great fun role playing and my 6 month old able to grab and interact with them safely. Additionally, they are easy to empty so hopefully won't go mouldy like similar bath toys.
How did this product make your life easier?
It makes bath time more enjoyable for my children and less stressful for me as they are distracted and require less toys in the bath at one time. This in turn makes for a happier household. The ease of emptying excess water from the toys makes tidying up a more straight forward and quicker process as well.
Would you choose this product to win?
Based on the enjoyment the children have had with them so far and the very obvious roll that they have played in the expansion of my children's imagination, coupled with their ease of use and cleaning, then I would probably choose this product above all other in the category. The price point and quality are also very competitive.
What changes would you make to this product?
There is little that I would look to change about this product with the exception of expanding the range by introducing more characters. Characters that are more female orientated would be beneficial.

The toy floaties are a lovely soft plastic, which is perfect for my teething 6 month old! They also float really well and are great bright colours.
How did this product make your life easier?
It works well as entertainment for my little one in the bath, it has no small parts so I am not worried about him swallowing anything he shouldn't. They also spray water which is thoroughly entertaining!
What changes would you make to this product?
I am not sure if I would remove the function of being able to put water inside them, this is only from the knowledge that they will probably go mouldy in time and have to be thrown out.
