Editorial Review

Bathtime can turn into an ocean adventure with Elmo and his plastic submarine zooming across the bathtub. Half of the 5-inch-high vessel submerges in water, while Elmo floats above the water wearing a snorkel and goggles. Wind the propeller and watch the ship move across the water and the periscope flicker from side to side. When tested, Elmo's submarine sped across the bathtub, making necessary turn adjustments when it hit the side of the tub. After the initial launch, part of the submarine filled with water, which caused it to slow down. However, this did not affect the interest level of the 9-month-old tester, who constantly reached for the exciting vessel with a favorite Sesame Street character aboard. --Lauren Bernard

This review is from: Tub Wind-Ups: Elmo's Submarine (Toy)

For whatever reason, this simple toy has been my 16 month old boy's favorite bath/pool toy for the past four months. He loves the spinning propeller and the wiggling periscope. When he spots it floating among his other water toys, he smiles, says "Elmo", and quickly grabs it. He'll switch to other toys but returns to the Elmo Submarine again and again.

3.0 out of 5 stars This tub toy goes belly up!, February 11, 2001

This review is from: Tub Wind-Ups: Elmo's Submarine (Toy)

This toy is cute, and my 10 month old loves the Elmo factor, however, it does not wind up easily (a child could not do it) and it barely moves. Veronica likes it though, and she can easily chew on Elmo's head. Ours does not sink to the bottom. If you are looking for just a cute bath toy that can take a beating, this is it. But if you want one that actually moves when you wind it, this is not the toy for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT WORTH IT, December 5, 2000

This review is from: Tub Wind-Ups: Elmo's Submarine (Toy)

I bought this wind up Elmo toy for my 10 month old daughter to play in the tub. I dont know if I got a defective one or not, but I would wind it up and it would sink to the bottom of the tub. She did get a kick out of the propellers turning and the clicking noise but it sure doesn't float like it should.
