Product Description

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Advice for those having trouble with it falling June 6, 2006

By Q

First, we've had ours up for several months now without issue, and LOVE it. It drains well, since it's hard plastic it doesn't mildew, stores the shampoo bottles, and his toes are great for hanging things (poofs, toys, etc).

BUT, you cannot allow the double stick tape to cross a grout line (or similar indentation, if you have a molded tub/shower surround). Doing so allows water/air behind the tape and it will lose grip! This could be an issue if you have small tile. It is possible to cut the tape so that it only attaches to complete tiles. Thankfully, my shower has 4" x 4" tiles so this was not an issue.

Hopefully that'll help someone!

Edit: Almost one year later - still holding strong! We've had no issues with it falling at all (and it's LOADED!). LOVE it!

And another edit (10/13/08): So, a year and a half later, our luck ran out. Last night our frog fell and scared the bejeezers out of me. Again, it was very fully loaded (the entire tub is now full of toys/scrubbies/shampoo bottles). Honestly, I'll be looking into options to re-adhere it. We love it too much to let having to re-hang it every couple years deter us from continuing to use it!

Edit 10/27/08: So, 2 weeks after it finally fell off the wall (2.5 years after we'd first hung it) - it's back up and thus far doing fine. I found a 3M Command product made specifically for "high humidity areas" (showers, etc) and decided to give 4 of those strips a try. So far, so good.

Edit 11/11/09: A year later it's still doing great with the 3M Command strips, and still keeping the tub toys organized!

Edit 10/19/10: 2 years w/ the 3M Command strips and it's still like new!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Finally a bath storage system that works perfectly. August 28, 2006

By mommyton

First, let me say that we bought this product last year before it even came out. We were on a wait list for almost two months with Baby Outfitters. I had been looking for a new bath storage system because my son thinks the bathtub is the best thing next to Disney Land. So he always has a lot of toys in the tub and none of the other storage systems had worked. When we got it, I was totally shocked by its size. My first thought was OMG! Am I going to put this GIGANTIC GREEN FROG up in my bathroom? LOL. But the scoop, rinse, and store feature was too tempting so I followed the directions exactly and installed it that night.

I started with a clean, dry bathtub. We didn't use that bathroom and let the adhesive *cure* for at least the time specified and we have had NO problems with the system. I'm actually worried that it'll never come off! I have it installed on tile and its a bumpy tile AND because of the size of my tile, it does overlap the grout a bit so I'm actually a bit perplexed as to why others are having so much trouble with it staying on. All I can say is that I followed the directions as well as I could and it's a rock solid install.

As for the bucket, it did take me a couple of times to get used to hooking the bucket back into the base but once you get it, its easy. The bucket is HUGE. My son has 3 rubber trucks and six big rubber ducks and they all fit into the bucket with room to spare for all of his foam letters and numbers and several other toys and body scrubbers. Tons of room! Yeah!

And its so easy to scoop and rinse that my four year has been cleaning after his bath for almost a year. Now I don't have to spend ten minutes each night after his bath picking up all the letter, numbers, and ducks. Yeah! And it stores all of HIS shampoos and bubble baths and body washes so that I can easily keep them separate from our stuff. This way, it was simple to tell him that he could only use the products on his frog and I didn't have to worry that he'd get into my expenisive shampoo if I had to walk away for a second.

And its very well ventilated. Everything is dry by the next night because his body scrubber thing is dry when he dumps it out every night. That was one of my biggest concern...that everything would mildew in there. But I do live in a very dry climate so that helps too but it is very well ventilated. The holes are pretty big and there are plenty of them. Also, I don't know if this would make a difference to anyone else but the plastic is a very solid, matte plastic. So it doesn't show stains or water drops and feels well...solid.

Overall, its one of three baby/kid products that I have absolutely no complaints about and can recommend without any reservations. I'm a gearhead and pretty darn picky. To illustrate how picky I am, I've bought eight car seats and twenty three strollers for my lonely only (who is only four!) because I'm so picky. Thank you Boon!

2.0 out of 5 stars Did not stick! June 26, 2006

By Allison

We unfortunately bought this before reading the reviews. We followed the directions perfectly and it fell off within 10 hours. So we are going to try what another reviewer said, double sided sticky tape and see if that works. If not we will be returning it which is really a shame because it's really cute and a big space saver for our small bathroom. They should really work on a design to make it stick better!
Update: We tried the sticky tape and it stayed for about a week and fell again. So we took it back.
