Advantages: squirts water

Disadvantages: Mummy or daddy might get thier clothes wet

You may not know who Bertie is but your child probably will,.Bertie as your young child will know is a bus, a red bus with a friendly face. Bertie is a character from The Railway Series a set of story books for children about a fictional railway which were written by Rev. W. Awdry.

The red Bertie bus toy that I am going to talk about is a bath squirter a soft rubbery toy that fills with water and then your devilish child will squirt at you. This toy is made by Tomy.

Bertie bus looks identical to the drawings of Bertie in the book from Thomas tank engine again written in 1949, Bertie does appear in other books too helping his train friends.
Bertie is about 14cm long. When Bertie is submerged in water squeeze him to get all the air out Bertie will fill up with water.

This water squirter does give a reasonable squirt of water, but I have used others which are better for squirting water.

This toy is recommended for children 18 months and over, but mum and dad will have fun squirting Bertie at baby long before then. . Children will continue to enjoy using this toy until they are quite old.

Water play is great fun and educational too so do not confine Bertie to the bath get a bowl of water for baby /toddler to play with or use Bertie in the paddling pool (clothed adults beware yes you will get wet Bertie will get pointed and squirted at you )

This toy is available from http://www.tomy.co.uk/products/thomas-bathtime-squ irters---bertie/ for £2.99 also £2.99p from http://www.babybathshop.co.uk/. This toy is available at many other shops both on and off line.
There are other characters from the book available as a squirter too, Thomas, Percy, James and most of the other engines
To go with Bertie bus and the other train characters from Rev W Awdry's books is a Bath island, a floating island with a ramp a tower and a water wheel, this cost around £11.

Kids love playing with water and if you have a bath time hater this toy will probably encourage them to the tub.
