Boon Review- Frog Pod Deluxe

BoonLogoTag_RGB Initially, Boon began with a toddler and a messy bathtub. Mother and designer, Rebecca Finell was determined to find a better way to keep her bathtub tidy, yet still offering a fun bath time for her child. Her wheels started turning and soon enough, the Frog Pod was created.  She sought out her business partner, Ryan Fernandez, and together they founded Boon Incorporated. Today, Boon offers a wide range of innovative, yet affordable products to help families all over the world.

For my review, I chose to review the product that started it all- The Frog Pod Deluxe. The Frog Pod Deluxe includes both the Boon Frog Pod and Boon Bath Goods designer bath toys.

FrogPod

The Frog Pod is designed to help make cleanup a breeze by providing a drainable scoop for collection and rinsing toys. In addition, the Frog Pod provides storage and bath organization. You have several options for easy assembly- adhesive strips that can be removed without harming or damaging bath tile or wall surfaces, screw-mounted or suction cup wall bracket(sold separately).

The Bath Goods bath toys included with the Frog Pod Deluxe include 15 designer foam appliques, 3 balls, and 2 mini scrubbies to make bath time a creative and playful experience. The toys in this set do not absorb water which reduces the risk for mold and mildew. The contemporary colors and funky shapes of these toys look great in any bathroom and the mini-scrubbies are the perfect size for little hands.

I cannot even begin to describe how much my son and I love the Frog Pod Deluxe. His eyes lit up the moment he first saw his new bath toy. I chose to hang our Frog Pod using the self-adhesive strips. I am very impressed by how well these strips hold. I initially thought the Frog Pod would fall due to shower steam or from my son tugging on it. We have had ours installed for a couple of weeks now, and it remains tightly intact.

One of my favorite features is the frog’s fingers and toes. Both can be used for hanging bath accessories, and we use them to hang our mini-scrubbies. This toy was created with moms in mind too! Behind the frogs head and your shower wall is is a hidden shelf which offers room to hold 2-3 bottles of soap, shampoo, body wash, and so on.

The Frog Pod has the ability to hold up to 10lbs when using the adhesive strips and 20lbs when mounting with screws. The Frog Pod comfortably holds all of the toys from the Bath Goods set with a small amount of room for additional toys. We found what works best for us is to hang the wall appliques to the shower wall, which allows for more room for other toys in the scoop basket. They stay attached to the wall until our next bath time.

The Frog Pod helps make bath time clean-up a breeze, providing a drainable scoop for collecting and rinsing toys. Not only will the Frog Pod make bath time fun, but as parent’s we will feel at ease not constantly having to worry about mold and mildew building up on the toys.

My son recently turned two, and he loves his new Frog Pod. When I ask him if he would like to take a bath, he responds “ frog, play with frog, frog…”. He has a blast removing the scoop and dumping his toys into his bathwater. I enjoy watching him have so much fun getting clean. I am also grateful to have my shower back. His bath toys were taking over our shower. With the Boon Frog Pod, everything is neatly organized and out of the way. I wish I had discovered this product sooner! It would be great for babies, toddlers and I am sure we will enjoy it for years to come.

Boon products are not only clever, but they are modern, convenient and fun to use! Boon manufactures toys, bath goods, organizational pieces, toddler potty training seats, high chairs and so much more! All of their products are BPA-free, pthalate-free and PVC-free, so you can shop with confidence, knowing their products are safe for your children to use.

  1. I wish this product had been around when my girls were young! We had bath toys everywhere and it was always frustrating for me!

    Now that I have grandkidlets, this product would be fantastic for my daughters looking after their kidlets toys etc.

    Love the product!

  2. I have had my eye on this for a long time, and one of the reasons we never purchased it was because we aren't able to screw into the wall (we rent) and didn't want to spend almost $40 on something that the adhesive wouldn't work with, ya know?? I'm really happy to see that it isn't a problem!

  9. i've wanted one of these ever since i found out i was even having a baby!! i'm not sure why i still don't have one lol. i always wondered if it would actually stay stuck on the wall, because a lot of shower fixtures seem to randomly fall off. i'm glad to hear that someone i "know" actually used this product and recommends it. that makes me want one even more.

  11. I really like the idea of the pod... I am not a fan of taking out soapy toys and then tripping over then on the floor!
