Product Description
Bathtime just isn't complete without our classic, latex rubber duck. The Sitting Duck is made out of all-natural latex rubber, which can be cleaned by gently by wiping with a sponge or cloth using warm water and a small amount of mild soap. An environment-friendly alternative to soap is to use a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water, which also prevents soap or detergent residues on the toys. If you dislike the smell of vinegar you can substitute strained lemon juice. Keep your Sitting Duck out of direct sunlight to avoid having it dry out and become brittle over time. Many bath toys are made with Phthalates, a class of chemicals that are used to plasticize toys. These chemicals have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, kidney and liver damage and asthma. Bisphenol-A (BPA), another hormone-disrupting chemical is also found in plastic toys. Because they remain freely mobile in plastic, phthalates are ingestible and leachable when children squeeze and gnaw on them. This has led some experts to recommend using no vinyl at all in the bath. Sitting ducks are a great alternative to plastic bath toys. Sitting Duck is designed for kids ages 3+ years old. The classic natural rubber duck, with crown, is the perfect playtime toy for young children and adults alike! However, due to small parts that could pose a choking hazard, it is NOT recommended for children under the age of 3. Who said you couldn't read in the tub?

 What a waste... December 9, 2008

Waste of money. I wanted it because it is bpa free, but is pretty worthless beyond that. It's small, flimsy and the paint on it is poorly done. Yuck!
 The only real RUBBER ducky October 19, 2008
Sarita Howe (San Diego, CA)

I've taken it for granted that most rubber ducks are no longer made of rubber. Most duckies are made of PVC, more commonly known as vinyl. I collect ducks with my son and when I first saw this one, I thought it was a little funny looking and small for the price. That was before I learned the difference. This duck is made of natural latex rubber and it has a squishy feeling, similar to a dog toy. I wasn't sold on it, until it became my son's favorite bath toy and I feel good about it being a healthier alternative for him. I've also come to like the coloring, which is different from the other ducks on the market, it has varying shades of yellow, orange and a touch of green. It's a good little duck.
