Product Description
The Frog Pod, winner of the JPMA 2005 Innovation Award, is a bath toy scoop, drain and storage unit all in one. It is designed to simplify the maintenance of a typical toddler bathtub environment. Simply scoop it up to rinse bath toys in bulk - the Frog Pod helps eliminate dangerous mildew and bath residue on the toys. A hidden shelf provides a convenient space for shampoo and other bath products. The Frog Pod can be attached to virtually any shower or bathtub wall. Base is simple to detach from the adhesive bracket for easy cleaning.

NOTE: This is not a toy. Never leave a child unattended when bathing. This product should always be mounted up out of reach of toddlers and used only under adult supervision. Never apply excessive force to or allow children to hang onto or from Frog Pod. Do not load the Frog with more than 10 pounds of toys or accessories. Prior to installation remove packaging and fasteners and discard properly.

As every parent knows, rubber duckies and tug boats tend to multiply in the tub. Rather than allowing them to pile up on the bathroom floor or sit in an empty bath once the splish-splashing is over, try the fun and functional Frog Pod.

The detachable scoop makes collecting and cleaning tub toys a cinch.

This bright green plastic frog hangs on the bathroom wall and features a detachable scoop that makes collecting and cleaning tub toys a cinch. Simply grab the large handle, sweep up any straggling toys, hold the scoop under the tub’s faucet to rinse off its contents, and then snap the entire thing back on the Frog Pod base. It’s so easy you might even find your child cleaning up the tub after getting clean upped themselves!

A built-in shelf at the top of the wall-mounted base holds shampoo, soap, or other bath products, while additional toys and sponges can be hung from the amphibian’s 14 splayed toes. A feature that parents can appreciate: the hard plastic is mildew-resistant.

Mount with adhesive strips, suction cups, or screws.

The base can be mounted on any bathroom wall one of three ways: adhesive strips, suction cups, or screws. One set of adhesive strips is included with the Frog Pod, but these are not reusable. A replacement kit of adhesive strips and screws can be purchased separately from the manufacturer. Also available separately from the manufacturer is a wall mount bracket that has eight suction cups attached to it. This bracket can be removed and remounted as often as necessary.

Packaging cautions that no more than 10 pounds (10 pounds!) be held by the Frog Pod at any given time.

Editorial Review
As every parent knows, rubber duckies and little toy boats tend to multiply in the bath. Rather than allowing them to lurk underfoot on the bathroom floor or sit forlornly in the empty tub once the splish-splashing is over, why not scoop ‘em up with the ever-so-cute Frog Pod? This bright green plastic frog can be mounted on any bathroom wall with the included bracket and adhesive. A built-in shelf at the top stores shampoo or other bath products, while (this is the best part) the removable scoop can be used to pick up, rinse, and drain toys. Additional toys or scrubby sponges can be hung from the frog’s splayed fingers and toes. There’s plenty of room for toys (no more than 10 pounds’ worth is the packaging caution…10 pounds!), and the design is charming and appealing to grownups and kids alike. To avoid trouble with the Frog Pod falling off the wall, make sure to follow mounting directions carefully. It’s especially important to use a dry wall, allow for a long adhesive curing time, and don’t cross the grout with the adhesive strips. Once it’s really on, the frog pod should provide handy, stylish, and mildew-free bath toy storage for a good long time. And no yucky, useless suction cups! --Emilie Coulter

Cute, but not worth the price. (2009-06-12)
The frog is from durable material, it's cute, and it does hold a lot of your squeeshy toys. It's larger than I anticipated, and it does what it's supposed to do just fine. Nevertheless, if compared to all the other kids' toys, I really don't think it's worth a whole $31. Toys and kids stuff is usually so cheap, I think that paying $[...] for essentially a box with holes (a pretty one at that) that will keep your sqeeshy toys in one place, seems to me a bit overpriced. It does, however, make a great little gift to give someone.

No more tripping over toys... (2009-06-11)
We live in a tiny apartment and have a tiny bathroom. At first we put the toys and bath books in the seat we never used while bathing our baby but after tripping over it one too many times, I tried the frog pod and love it.

I know folks are stating that it doesn't stay put but so far so good. We use the suctions even though the recommendation is to use the anchors.

We called customer service the night we brought it home because we couldn't find the suction plate. The rep was very helpful and told us the suctions and tape are not recommended but should hold up to 6 months as long as it doesn't fall between the grout lines on your tile.

She sent us the suction plate and we received in the very next day! Talk about service.

I love that I can put her shampoo and conditioner and vitamins on the shelf behind the head and dangle some of her toys on the fingers. So far it's filled to the brim and holding strong.

Plus, it makes me smile in the morning when I take a shower. It's just such a cute and odd thing to see in the morning.

We'll keep you posted on how it holds up.

Nice for storing toys (2009-05-30)
We've had this alittle over a year and its still hanging!!! Ive used the suction cups to hang it and its never fallen, even though we store a whole lot of toys. This is a great item for storing toys and bodywash/shampoo and even the body scrubs (the cute little hands and feet hold them). It really helps to keep the tub clean and my son gets soo excited when its clean up time since its soo easy to use. Highly recommend it if your looking for something nice and fun to store toys.

Awesome!!! (2009-05-27)
Keeps all of our kids stuff in the same spot. We had a problem sticking the adhesive tape to our tile... it kept falling down. But once we used the suction, it held no problem. LOVE this thing. We had a corner hammock by fisher price before this, and that was a piece of junk. It always fell down and left a big pool of water in the top side of our tub. This thing drains straight down into the tub, leaving no pool of water behind.

Would Not Recommend to Anyone (2009-05-26)
I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this item. I followed the directions word for word for installation via suction cups. The frog was attached to the base for somewhere between 5 to 10 minutes before it fell off onto my 6 month old daughter, who was in the tub. Luckily she was not hurt, just very scared. After this experience, while I understand that Boon will send me new suction cups, etc. if I request it, I don't want to risk traumatizing her again (although I'm sure it was more traumatic for me than it was for her, she got over it pretty quickly). I don't even want to give it to Goodwill for fear that it will fall on top of another baby. Nor do I want to drill simply to hang up a $[...] bath accessory. I wouldn't recommend this item to anyone.
