Review: Make Bath Time Fun with Nûby Octopus Floating Bath Toy

31 Comments

It’s been a while since I did a Nûby review! We received the Octopus Floating Bath Toy, designed to help develop hand-eye coordination. And it’s fun too!

The toy comes with three little rings that you toss and want to catch on the octopus’ tentacles. This is Baby J’s new favorite toy. His face just lit up when I placed it in the bathtub the first time. And he’s been taking it to bed with him. -_- Yup. I have photo proof.

“Why is she taking my picture? Mommy’s weird.”

This BPA-free toy is designed for 18 months and up, but Baby J’s not coordinated enough to toss the rings onto the tentacles. Actually, I tried from about three feet away and only got two out of three. Obviously I need to work on my fine motor/throwing skills. Baby J just places the rings on the tentacles, pulls them off, and repeat.

I think the only thing that would make this toy more fun would be to include even more rings to toss. There are six tentacles but only three rings. Or perhaps sell some rings separately too, so we can add to the set.

Action Baby Carrier, formerly known as Active Mom Carriers, was a company that created tie baby carriers and founded in 2006 when founder Angela Alexander starting having babies. She decided to become creative on making her own baby products instead of purchasing them. She began to sew a few baby carriers but didn’t stop there. She made some for her family, and then her husband, “a math wiz,” came up with time saving ideas to decrease her time spent sewing each one, since her first carrier took her nine hours. Active Mom Carriers fans wanted to transition into buckle carriers. That is when Action Baby Carrier was created and has been a big hit for several different reasons. They are made right here in the USA. The cost is affordable and has a great quality, and the design is simple and effective. Action Baby Carriers wanted to make sure that parents could afford to carry their babies all while forming that special bond.
