Classic Yellow Rubber Duck vs Playgro Bath Duckie Family

The Schylling classic duck is the sturdier single duck: sealed bottom, phthalate- and lead-free rubber, and a loud squeaker that holds up to daily baths. The Playgro Bath Duckie Family gives you four ducks, a lower 6-month age floor and a squirt feature, but they are plastic and the squirt holes need draining after each bath. Buy the Schylling for one well-made duck a toddler will keep; buy Playgro for a baby who wants several ducks to grab and chew.

• Choose the Schylling classic yellow duck if you want one durable, sealed rubber duck with a real squeaker for a toddler 18 months and up.
• Choose the Playgro Bath Duckie Family if you have a baby from 6 months and want four floating, chew-safe ducks with a squirt feature.
