Water toys and water guns for children vary considerably in their recommended age, range, water capacity and ease of use. Remote-control vehicles with spray functions and accessories for washing your car are also often listed under similar search terms. However, if you focus only on a long range or eye-catching features, you could overlook important details.
Three common buying mistakes are particularly easy to make:
For water toys for children aged 3 and over, controls should be as simple as possible. Rounded edges, easy-to-reach controls and a sealed casing are useful features to look for. Even so, children should always play under supervision, particularly near swimming pools, ponds or open water.
A water gun for ages 14 and over may have additional electronic features, such as a rechargeable battery or battery compartment, a digital display and an automatic refill system. With any water gun, never aim at the eyes or face, and use clean water only.
A larger tank means fewer refills, but it also adds weight. For longer water fights, a capacity of several hundred millilitres is a sensible choice. If you’ll often be playing on the go, consider the product’s size and weight too.
A water blaster with a long range isn’t practical just because of its stated distance. It’s also important to consider:
A high-pressure water jet for washing your car has different requirements from a children’s toy. Here, the connector, hose length, handle, spray angle and ability to control the water flow all matter.
A waterproof remote-control car should only be used in the environments described by the supplier. ‘Waterproof’ doesn’t automatically mean the vehicle can be used continuously in deep water. After play, remove any remaining water and dry the vehicle according to the instructions.
For children’s toys, it’s important to check details about materials, edges and small parts. A 4WD RC car with LED lights also has a remote control, drive system, lights and charging unit to consider. Before buying, parents should check that replacement batteries, charging times and remote-control range are suitable for how the car will be used.
For car care, a garden hose spray nozzle with an adjustable angle is often more versatile than a fixed spray wand. A swivel joint makes it easier to clean wheel arches, the roof and other hard-to-reach areas. A so-called car wash gun should also be compatible with your garden hose.

We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the safety requirements in force in the EU.
After water play, empty the tank. With electric models, leaving water inside can cause residue to build up in the tank or around the seals. The casing and handle can usually be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products and fully submerging the toy unless the instructions specifically say that it is suitable.
For an RC water cannon vehicle, check the wheels, propellers and air intakes for sand or small objects too. Charge and store batteries according to the instructions. When washing your car, test the water jet on an inconspicuous area first and keep it a safe distance from delicate surfaces.
It depends on the model. According to the product information, the SPYRA SpyraThree is designed for people aged 14 and over. Simpler models without electronic controls may be more suitable for younger children, provided they meet the relevant age recommendation.
The stated range is a guide for favourable conditions. Wind, firing angle, water level and power supply can all affect the distance you get in practice. When comparing products, you should also consider tank capacity and ease of use.
No. The vehicle should only be used in the areas specified by the supplier. The amphibious RC model is described as suitable for shallow water, swimming pools and a range of firm surfaces. Deep or fast-flowing water isn’t suitable unless the manufacturer specifically says otherwise.
