The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the LEGO City Fire Rescue Boat (60373) is the pick where high-trust signal is genuinely split, and the synthesis has to reflect that. On the positive side, a Best Buy verified-purchase review describes the single-piece hull as a real differentiator — it actually floats, making it one of the few current LEGO City sets suitable for bath or pool play. Walmart reviewers and r/lego nostalgia threads (comparing it to the 1991 Fire Boat 4031) echo that this is what young kids actually want from a LEGO boat.
What reviewers liked
- Best Buy verified-purchase reviewers confirm the hull genuinely floats
- r/lego and Walmart reviewers cite strong play value for the 5-7 age range
- Amazon 4.8 across 1,396 reviews corroborates retailer signal
- Jetpack and minifigure accessories add pretend-play hooks beyond the boat itself
Where it falls short
- 1-star Best Buy review warns small accessory pieces can come off in water
- r/lego thread reports unstable assembly and pieces falling off during play
- Best for pool/supervised tub play, not rough water, per multiple reviewers

The negative high-trust signal is real and we won't smooth it over. A 1-star Best Buy review flags small accessory pieces falling off in water as a drain-clogging and choking concern. An r/lego thread titled 'really disappointed with LEGO on this boat set' reports the pieces don't fit together well and the model loses parts during play. A separate r/lego parent confirms it works 'next to the tub' but not in it.
Net-net, across mainstream tech press and retailer-customer reviewers, this is a solid age-5+ LEGO City entry that delivers on the float promise, with the caveat that the accessories are not bath-safe and adult supervision is warranted.

Small, easy lego set for kids or lego city architects. Boat claims to float in water, but I'm worried about small pieces falling off and clogging my drain…
My experience with the fire rescue boat is that it doesn't do well with my son in the tub, but works well enough with my son next to the tub.
Love the old floating boats. Made great bath toys. And agree 1991 was a good Lego year.
