My 3 year-old son LOVES tub toys, especially tub squirters, so I thought these would be perfect - given his obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine. And truth be told, he does like playing with them. But ...

* they don't float upright! They float lying on their sides.

* they're stiff & difficult to completely fill with water. If you want the water to squirt out the top of the train's funnel (like steam) they have to be totally full and you have to squeeze pretty hard. It's too difficult for my 3 year-old. When only partially filled (which is normal) you have to turn them upside down to get them to squirt. They squirt well like that - a nice steady stream - but kind of defeats the purpose.

Overall, my son likes them, but does get frustrated when they don't float upright. He likes playing with them out of the tub too. But, if I would have know the above things, I'm not sure I would have bought them. Even though they are only $10.

My 20-month-old son is a HUGE Thomas fan, so when I saw these recently at a store, I had to pick them up for him. They're adorable!

They work like any other bathtub squirter -- just fill them up with water and squeeze them to watch water come out the "smokestack." (You have to fill them up pretty full for it to work properly, as the water is being squirted straight up.)

My son also enjoys playing with them outside of the tub. They don't really roll, as of course they don't have working wheels, but he still likes to make them "chug" across the floor.

My daughter absolutely loves playing with these squirters in and out of the tub. Just squeeze them and water comes squirting out the top (the whistle). Any Thomas the train fan would love these cool bath toys! Highly recommended!!!

We don't use these as bathtub squirters often, but we do like them as out of the tub toys. Our daughter takes them everywhere! The scent doesn't bother me at all. We got them when she was about 18 months and at 22 months, they're still going strong.. although they have lost a bit of color from all of the teething she does on them.

My son loves these toys, he plays with them everywhere (not only in the bath). He only started playing with them after 2 years old, and now he could fill up the water by himself. He doesn't like the cartoons of Thomas, but loves the train toys and books. Educational as well, we learn colors with these toys and count them.

My son loves these. He hasn't put them down since the package arrived--a birthday gift from a beloved uncle.

Sadly, my wife is now coping with nausea and an impending migraine. The vinyl is vanilla-scented and is just cloyingly sweet and overwhelming. There is no warning on the package, nor on the website.

I would rate this much higher if it weren't stinky. Sadly, this is a toy that may have to disappear.

I bought these for my nephew's 1st birthday because he was too young for the wooden Thomas trains. He still loves them 6 months later! He does not use them as bath toys, but as regular toys instead. They are the perfect size for little hands and he can carry them everywhere. Very worth it for the younger Thomas fan :)

My nephew can't put these down! He loves the size, texture and color of the trains. I thought they'd just be fun in the tub, but he carries them around every waking moment.

My son, almost 2 loves this toy. He wants to play with them constantly but I have to keep them in the bath due to the "vanilla" scent. They really stink. I agree that anyone that is sensitive to smells should avoid this product.

My kids love these things. They play with them each bath session and make choo choo noises and line them up along the bathtub. Big hit and well worth the price.
