Submarine Made Of 100% Recycled Materials: Earth and Child Friendly

I had never seen or heard of Green Toys but luckily was on Amazon's website the day so many of them were at special low prices. I bought the submarine as a birthday present for a friend's grandson, and she says it's his favorite bathtub toy. He loves to scoop up the water and rinse the shampoo out of his hair with it, plus the submarine floats. It's made out of recycled materials, including the simple brown packaging, the top opens for easy cleaning, and its dishwasher safe. My husband and I have young great nieces and nephews on both sides, so we try to keep each gift around $12. I'm a huge believer in books so I paired the toy with Tony Mitton's Super Submarines (Amazing Machines). I'll be watching for more sales on Green Toys, as they are now my #1 go to gift.

Excellent toy submarine.

I have found from experience that Green Toys make some of the best toys for little kids these days and this toy submarine is no exception. They are very durable and can withstand lots of play by kids. Our kids have played with these submarines not just in the bathtub but also in playrooms for about two years now and they are still in great shape. The plastics used in the manufacture of these submarines is high quality and has no funny chemical smells whatsoever upon arrival. The design is great with lots of rounded edges, minimizing spots that can hurt a kid. These are well made toys that I can readily recommend. Made in USA. (I include a small picture of this submarine next to a common half liter water bottle for relative size reference for your view).

Our daughter loves her very first Green Toys Submarine!

The submarine is the first toy made by Green Toys that we purchased for our 7 month old daughter and she loves it... and we do, too! She immediately grabbed onto the handle and started playing. It's a really fun toy for the bath because it can float, be sunk, or used to pour water out. She also finds the propeller fascinating and likes to hit it to make it spin. The submarine is a good size overall and for her age. However, the submarine, ferry, and sea copter aren't quite proportioned properly relative to each other, but that's okay (and she won't notice!). This one toy definitely got us hooked on Green Toys and we have already accumulated another eight of their products four our daughter that she will get as she grows and as the seasons change. We are very impressed with the quality and mission of Green Toys products and highly recommend them.

Great for rinsing your kiddos in the tub!

My 2yo daughter just got this for Christmas and thus far, it's been a hit with her, my almost 4yo son, and myself. My son particularly loves the moving propeller in the back. I love it as a rinsing tool. My son has the tug boat which I've been using, but its spout is narrow. The submarine has a nice wide opening which makes rinsing SO much easier!! I wish I had had this to begin with. So if you're debating between the tug boat and sub, I'd highly recommend the sub. It floats on the water's surface just like the tug boat, plus the top yellow part opens so the kid can put other toys inside if he/she wants.

This is a great bath toy

This is a great bath toy. I read lots of reviews trying to confirm whether this version is the one that will open to more easily drain water -- so let me confirm for you: YES, this one will open! The top yellow handle piece easily snaps open. (Easily for adult, I should clarify - my one year old doesn't accidentally pull it open when playing, which is nice. Just the right amount of resistance.) We love Green Toys - especially bath toys, since they can be washed in the dishwasher if you accidentally let it sit with water or it gets icky. Made in the USA from foodsafe plastic, which I love since my kiddo puts everything in his mouth.

wonderfully well engineered and SAFE toy! Made in the U>S>A, and all from recycleable materials, even the packaging!

I Love Green toys! It's a god thing that I had 4 boys because I love picking out their toys. Green Toys are made from Recycled Milk Cartons! BPA, and PVC FREE! AND made in the United States!! The packaging is cardboard and it is 100% recyclable too! They don't use any wires or pins to secure the item in the package, just the way the "cardboard" is folded and secured holds them very well- Great packaging! There are no sharp corners, very smooth surfaces!. The design is smooth and baby friendly. I love the color choices, and they make pink and purple cars and trucks for girls! The submarine floats, but it will also take on water if it is forced underwater--which works really well for hair washing and rinsing off of the body too! My grandson is 16 months old and he loves it. I also bought the tugboat, it floats, loads and pours, but I like the way the yellow submarine works better, it seems to be a more predictable pour. The "port holes" on the sides are backed by another piece of plastic so that little fingers are much less likely to get caught! I will be purchasing more green toys in the future! I hope this company Goes far! I w ill buy them as baby gifts too. It's a Tub toy that you didn't know you needed until you had one!

Fabulous toy, and safety issue has been fixed.

The safety issue mentioned in another review appears to have been corrected. The windows now have plastic blocking them so that a child can no longer get their finger stuck. (See photo) Aside from that, this toy is on par with all the toys from this manufacturer - EXCELLENT. Completely recycled, recyclable, made in the USA, durable and sturdy... There is nothing bad I can find to say about any of these toys.

Safety seems to have been corrected

First toy we have bought from this manufacturer. very pleased with how well built it seems to be. of course it cost a bit more than a normal cheap toy but it seems like it's going to last. for anyone concerned about the fingers getting stuck the one that we just got has been redesigned. I'll try and take a picture but unless you have extremely small fingers they closed in the holes leaving only small openings for the water drainage. (Unless this design is what people are talking about with fingers getting stuck?)

Made-in-USA results in a superior bath toy

This appealing submarine is well made, pleasingly designed, and impact resistant. It has no sharp edges to scratch a child — or the enamel of the tub. In general, because this toy is responsibly made in USA, there are no safety issues to worry about. It will float nicely on the surface of the bath water, but push it down a bit and it will head for the bottom. In other words, it acts like a real submarine! Kids like to play with the little propeller — and are easily induced to pour water over their soapy heads out of the bow. This is no cutesy little item, but a good-sized bath toy. I was surprised by the size. (I didn’t pay much attention to the measurements when I ordered.) This one bath toy eliminates the need for multiple toys floating around in the tub.

Durable, easy to clean, and my son loves it!

This is a favorite bath and pool toy at our house. I first saw these toys from a family member when I was visiting and my son loved it so much I hopped on Amazon and order it. He absolutely loves to fill it up with water and dump the water out. He thinks it's so funny! (Mommy doesn't think so much when it is dumped out of the tub!) We also use this boat out in the pool. He loves to open the top of it and put all his little peoples in it. This doesn't sink in the pool so it is easy for him to play around with. I love the durability of these toys. It is very thick plastic that is BPA Free and it sure does take a beating. My son throws it around like crazy and it has yet to break. It is easy to clean as I can just pop it in the dishwasher without any problems. I will be buying more Green Toys in the future.
