The BBQ Backseat Cook | Soft Aussie Platypus Doll

Meet Baz, the BBQ Backseat Cook, the platypus who never holds the tongs… but always knows exactly how the snags should be cooked. In his stubbies and sunhat, Baz stands proudly beside the barbie offering constant, confident, utterly unsolicited advice:

“Flip that one.”
“Not that one.”
“Yep, that one’s done.”

Cheeky, chatty, and full of heart, Baz brings big Aussie-arvo energy to every playtime. He’s that familiar character you’ll find at every backyard BBQ... loud opinions, zero responsibility, and a whole lot of charm.

Designed in Australia and crafted in our signature plush style, Baz is a miniature heirloom platypus doll perfect for our Ocean Road Play Mat, dollhouse-compatible play and small-world storytelling. Whether he’s standing beside a toy barbie, pulling faces behind the real chef, or joining the rest of the Rugaroo mob, Baz turns every scene into a giggle-filled, true-blue moment.

He doesn’t cook…
But he’s absolutely still in charge.
