Wind Up Diver

The Wind Up Diver is a fun toy for children, especially for water-based activities like swimming and bathing in the tub. Any child will enjoy watching the little diver swim his way from one end of a tub to the other, making bath time much more exciting. This means you will no longer have to see bath time as a struggle, as your child will most likely insist on taking his bath so he could enjoy this wind-up toy.

The wind-up mechanism of the toy makes it perfect for being played with in water, with no risk of damage to its internal parts. It is also made of sturdy plastic, which keeps it from unnecessary wear and tear, especially for younger children.

Wind Up Diver Review:

The customers who reviewed this wind-up toy gave it a rating of only 2.8 stars. The users who liked it enjoyed how it looked, and how it kicked frantically in the water. One customer reported having bought this toy along with a wind-up submarine, and his son enjoyed playing with both during his bath time. Another buyer said his three-year-old son enjoyed it even if it did not swim anywhere; instead the boy would just move it by himself. The toy was apparently a hit among toddlers whenever the kid brought it along to swimming pools and beaches. Other customers admitted that it did not swim very far, but that it was fun to play with in the bath tub despite that. One buyer even shared how it was no longer difficult to get her boys in the bath, although they had always resisted taking a bath.

Many of them were not happy because the toy reportedly did not go anywhere even after having been wound up or even given a slight push forward. It also apparently came without any box or any sort of packaging, which made it look very cheap and unattractive. One user was disappointed when it broke after his son played with it twice, in what he deemed was “not rough” play. Although it was considered relatively cheap, considering the short life span, the user warned other buyers from wasting money on this toy.

Nearly all the reviewers reported that the wind-up action never made the diver swim, which defeated the whole purpose of buying a wind-up diver toy. But one reviewer made an interesting observation: that the toy swam when put underwater after being wound up. Perhaps with that consideration it may still be safe to recommend the Wind Up Diver for bath time fun. After all, kids’ definition of fun is usually much different from adults’, and considering how many of the reviewers’ kids enjoyed this, you may just luck out as well.
