Green Toys Rescue Boat with Helicopter

Update: I maintain my 2-star rating for the design of this helicopter, but I want to give GreenToys a 5-star rating for customer service. When I emailed GreenToys about the flaw with this helicopter, they immediately sent me a replacement via FedEx with a shipping label so I could return the broken toy for them to inspect and improve their design. Original review: Just before Christmas, I purchased several of Green Toys toys on Amazon.com for my 2-year-old son. I liked that their toys are made in the U.S. and that they are made from recycled milk jugs. We are really happy with all of the toys, except for one. The helicopter that came with the rescue boat is one of my sons favorites, but the design has a major flaw. The part of the tailboom where the tail rotor is attached is hallow and this area wasnt strong enough for a little kid to be able to spin the rotor without it breaking. Id suggest that they redesign that part of the toy to make it stronger (perhaps it should attach like the main rotor or perhaps that part of the toy should be made more substantial).

American quality!

Kids - 4 yrs old - loved and play with it at bath time. I love that it does not have small pieces, dries fast, opens for no mold.

I just received these a couple weeks ago for Christmas gifts. These seem to be made amazingly well! The plastic is so thick and sturdy! I can see it lasting for years to come. It’s also very environmentally friendly which I love. You can’t get any better than Green Toys!

Very well made, sturdy product that I think will stand up well to my rough playing kiddos. The boat floats well in water and is made to drain water out easily. The boat can come apart with some effort to help clean it but it wont come apart during play which is good. The helicopter fits perfectly onto the boat and also has holes to drain water out. The propellers are sturdy and dont bend easily and there is a hook on the bottom so they can fly things around. Would definitely recommend this toy!

Toddler loves to play with in the tub. Easy to dry.

I bought a bunch of the green toy brand products in Black Friday. Whenever I can find them on sale I get them for either my kids or for other kids. Great quality, indoor, outdoor, bathtub, wherever. I’ve left some outside thru the winter, come spring they get hosed off, bleached and good to go

Simple, sturdy, great in the bath. 4 year old loves it.

These Green Toys are absolutely the best, hands down! Whats not to love? The minute you recieve one you relize the substantial and durable quality of them. They are easy to clean and I literally can not fathom any saftey hazards whatsoever with these toys (other than if the are used as a projectile, but that is the case with most toys that are not fabric, so obviously if there is a baby in the bunch with some older toddlers or so, you should still have your eyes on the kids). I love that they are all dishwasher safe for sterilizing. We have decided to keep all the Green Toys in a toy box in our main livingroom for 2 reasons. When we have company with children or playmates visiting, they can all just dive into these toys and we dont have the aggravation of my grandsons other toys being dragged out with multiple pieces, and those are not all small child safe, and we can not just throw them in the dishwasher afterwards as we can these. These are literally worry free toys when children are visiting (other than the aforementioned throwing, or maybe banging over the head, so yes you still must parent as we should be anyway). Second, after dinner, when there is just a small window of time for bath and playtime before bed, these are hassle free and the only toys we let him drag out because they are simple and easy pickup. BONUS, they are MADE IN THE USA, and of completely recycled materials. I have not seen that many quality toys like these other than ones made in the 1940s or so, where good craftsmanship (as these are) mattered, even in a toy. We have at least 2 dozen of these toys and they have become an awesome gift item especially when they go on sale, which is often. They are literally the PERFECT toys!

Kids have played with this in the bathtub for a year and then took it to the sandbox, and it is in the tub again.
