what parents are saying
This is a really good bathtub toy to have because it didn’t let in water so it didn’t get mouldy and it also helped us make sure the bath water temperature was good (Feb 06, 2021)

Sometimes the reading is Hot when water is warm and good temperature for baby. Dec 29, 2021

This was great to have with a newborn to get the water temperature right. However, I feel as if when the child is older(closer to 1) then the "hot" on the duck is actually to cold of water to bathe in Dec 03, 2021

The little duck was purchased with mg first child 6 years ago and it still works well today. The word HOT appears in “whitish” letters on bottom- could be a brighter white. Also, No holes so no mold. Nov 21, 2021

It’s honestly used more as a toy than a temperature indicator at our house. Hard to see the “hot” at the bottom Nov 14, 2021

Really great tool to see if bathwater is too warm for the baby. Sometimes what is best for adults is too much for a little one. Oct 08, 2021

My son loved these and they were very helpful in telling us when the water was too hot! Sep 27, 2021

Love that this is one piece and fully sealed so there is no chance of water getting inside nor mold growth. "White hot" indicator is a great feature. My baby loves chewing on this in the bath. Nov 11, 2021

Meh, it’s cute. It’s a duck that discerns hot and cold. Still got water stuck inside it. I tossed the thing. Aug 29, 2021

Fun toy that also doubles as a water temp checker! Perfect baby shower gift that will definitely come in handy. We love ours. Feb 25, 2021

Perfect to test water with and a bonus toy! Jun 14, 2020

Handy in the early days to make sure the bath water isn’t too warm, but it takes a while to register. For the price point, it’s great and serves it’s purpose. For convenience, digital would be better. May 07, 2020

This product has lasted for a long time, 7 years with our kids. Fun to play with and easy to find if the water is at a good temp. Feb 09, 2020

I didn't think these were too accurate for temperature. I was disappointed as I heard many great things about it. Oct 30, 2019

My son doesn't play with it and it doesn't really tell the temp. Sep 25, 2019

My girls love these can’t go wrong Feb 04, 2019

I love how cute these are, and that they are “closed” so I don’t have to worry about mold. The downside is that they say ALL water I put them in is too hot, except freezing cold water. Jan 26, 2019

Just another ducky for the kiddo to play with. Haven't even used the hot indicator. We have the water running throughout bath time so we use a spout thermometer to watch temps in real time. May 22, 2018

I love that this puts my mind at ease that the bath is not too hot plus it makes a great bath toy.I prefer this to classic rubber ducks as there is no hole and therefore it won't get moldy! Apr 19, 2018

My daughter loves to play with this duck while I give her a bath and it also warns if the water is too hot. Mar 14, 2018

I feel like it's extra sensitive and the water has to be very cool or it signals that it's too hot. My babies like warm baths so this was a miss for me. Feb 16, 2018

Definitely not reliable for testing the water temperature, but it’s a cute bath toy! I love that there isn’t a hole for water to get trapped inside. Feb 15, 2018

As a bath toy it’s great since there’s no holes, but even when the water has been too hot (I prefer the elbow test), the duck didn’t change colors. Feb 01, 2018

Ours didn’t work- we tested it out with water that was to hot but it didn’t change and let us know. Jan 17, 2018

The "hot" is always somewhat visible. Hard to tell when it's actually too hot. Still functional as a ducky, at least! Dec 23, 2017

Love that it's sealed so you don't have to worry about mold growing inside & throwing away this in a short time. Don't really use the indicator, just my wrist for a gage. Nov 10, 2017

My son likes to play with these and I like the easy visual of safe water temperature. Oct 26, 2017

We never used this. It would turn white when the water was still less than tepid. Honestly easier for me to just feel the temp with my hand than use this duck. Oct 24, 2017

Cute but I don't think the HOT feature works as intended. Oct 24, 2017

This seriously works! Unfortunately it takes a long time for the words to fade after the water is no longer hot. So that is annoying. Oct 18, 2017

didnt do a great job with heat testing but we still use it as a fun rubber ducky toy Oct 10, 2017

Doesn't really work well, turns "HOT" with lukewarm water. My babe likes to eat it instead and that's fine. Still better to just test her bath water with an elbow. Sep 27, 2017

this has helped my fiance a lot with bath time making sure it doesnt get to hot. ( he doesnt have much feeling in his hands to test the water) Sep 15, 2017

Nice to have! Sep 04, 2017

Love this product and even after years of use it still works. It instantly will turn white if the water temperature is to hot. Aug 28, 2017

Doesn't accurately tell you if the water is too hot (it would turn white even when the water was cold). It is great as bath toy because it has no holes that you have to worry about water and mold. Aug 18, 2017
- Jillian G.
Grove City, Ohio
Not very useful. It is hard to see when the color actually changes. Also, would be better to know the temperature so that you know if it is too cold too. I would suggest buying one that reads temp Aug 10, 2017

Not sure how accurate this is so we don't rely on it for tempature, but our LO loves playing with it. Aug 08, 2017

worked great for the first year Jul 28, 2017

Ended up not using this. Preferred something that told me the actual temperature of the water. Jul 12, 2017

Cute rubber duck. Doesn't seem 100% accurate on hot/not but good enough for quick check. Plastic is strong and is still going after 5+ years of kid handling. Jun 24, 2017

It works, but so does using my hand to tell the temperature. Jun 21, 2017
- Monica H.

It's fun, as a toy. Honestly, the HOT indicator comes on with just warm water. It is hard to read. I just use common sense and feel the water for myself. Jun 09, 2017

Bath Toy, must have. Who doesn't want rubber ducks in the tub? Our almost 9 month old twins, are well kept entertained while bathing. May 30, 2017

Like warm water shows as hot - not worth more than just a ducky toy May 18, 2017
- Amanda Y.

Works still after a year. I will say that the hot sensor is very sensitive. May 09, 2017

I don't rely on the temperature feature of this much, but my daughter loves as a rubber ducky. May 05, 2017

It totally works with the water temperature & it's a fun toy for the babe! Apr 14, 2017

I absolutely did not like that we could not tell what temperature the water was. Also, I have doubts of this actually working. It was difficult to see when the water was too hot. Jan 24, 2017
