Stop looking and just buy it. :) Choose your color and there you go! I promise you'll love it. I am one of those people who tends to research and review most purchases (besides groceries) and I spent an hour--I kid you not--comparing the frog holder, cheaper mesh ones, and a few others. I found this Skip Hop Tubby and am SOOOOO happy we did. Not only does the orange go perfectly with our boys' jungle bathroom, but it holds the insane amount of bath toys we have. Our storage stool is now empty and our boys love emptying their toys from this and cleaning up after their baths; yeah, they enjoy cleaning up. They throw their toys into it, soaking wet, and the organizer is completely dry by the next morning (it's made of the same material as wet suits). It holds up to their roughness (ages 3.5 and 18 months) and the suction cups actually require you to use a little muscle to pull them off; they hold 10 pounds of toys and have yet to slide after 3 months of use. It is machine washable and incredibly sturdy. We also use the hooks on the front for their washcloths and loofahs...an added bonus.

The other organizers don't seem to hold as well, can get moldy, and don't have a much space as the Skip Hop Tubby. I hope this helps :)

UPDATE, July 2011: Just thought I'd write a quick update to say that we still LOVE LOVE LOVE this Skip Hop Organizer and it STILL (more than 2 years later) has yet to fall or slide off the bathroom wall! Impressive! I honestly have never run it through the wash as it smells good (I rinse it with the shower every so often); it smells like our kids' Burt's Bees Shampoo and Body Wash. It hasn't faded or worn one bit, despite being much fuller than it was when I originally wrote this review. This is one of the best children's products we've ever purchased, and that's saying A LOT considering I do childcare and have been teaching most of my life. If you need a tub organizer, buy this one and save yourself the time of over-researching like I did. :)

The Tubby works! I have tried the netting ones, the plastic ones... and they all either fall off the side of the tub surround or they stay wet, creating a great place for bacteria to form. The Tubby is made from the same stuff as wet suits... it dries fast and is soft so little ones don't get hurt when they bump into it. We put it up one month ago and haven't needed to monkey around with the suctions. The bag hold a lot more than it looks! My kiddos pile in three bath babies, stacking cups, five squirt toys, and a handful of small hard plastic balls. It is full! I just weighed it and it was 6lbs of toys! We really love the fact that we can take the bag down without disturbing the suction cups. The suction part detaches from the bag with two plastic 180 degree turn knobs. It is great when you are cleaning the tub. The Tubby also is easy to clean. My daughter had some tub crayons and she got some on it, took it down with the two plastic knobs (leaving the suction still on the tub surround) put the Tubby in the wash and came out great! This is a really great product!

This bath toy organizer looks very nice and it has room for enough toys without being too bulky. The best thing about it? It attaches really well to the bathroom tiles. I have mine full of toys and it secures pretty well to the wall. I'm very happy with this product. It's pratical and it has a cool design at an affordable price.

I could not decide whether to give this product 2 or 4 stars.

Here's the problem, it is a lovely item. However, there is absolutely nothing we could do to get this item to stick to the tile in our bathroom. Well, short of not putting anything in it. I'd say that we had the organizer less than half as full as pictured with plastic bath toys and it fell down from the weight each and every single time. And despite how tempting it was to just slap it up there as soon as I opened it, I took the time to clean the area where it was going, then wait for it to dry, then hang it, and then wait 10 minutes before hanging the organizer. I also tried putting it from different spots, but still no dice.

So here's why I'm neither returning it nor giving it only two stars...

I just so happen to have a shower caddie with two prongs that are placed approximately the same with apart as the two white knobs where the suction is supposed to go. The organizer now hangs off of these two prongs. So in the end, I still get my organizer effect. However, now I have to rehome the items that were perfectly suited for the prongs before the organizer came around and I can't hang the organizer at a height that is accessible for my toddler.

So there you have it. My mixed review of a product that really should be awesome in theory. The organizer hangs much better to the tile in this bathroom, however it still consistently falls down about twice a month. Tolerable, especially compared to the once every 15 minutes at our last place. I'm still going to leave my review at 3 stars. Would maybe have bumped it 3.5 stars if it were option, but still don't think it meets 4-star expectations.

UPDATE: Since first purchasing this product, we have moved to a new apartment. I would

This is a great product! It stays put and holds lots of toys! We have at least a dozen toys in this so there is plenty of room in it. It also keeps all the tub toys in 1 place instead of all over the tub sides. The hooks are great for the kids rags too! Don't waste your money on other products ... just get this one!

This does not stick, period! I've never written a review before and had to come just to warn you to save your money. We've tried everything it will not stay up, even when we emptied all the toys out. It's frustrating and dangerous, once it fall off the wall and onto my daughters head. Save your self the hassle.

This is a good product but you have to be sure you use it on the right kind of tile. I have a matte finish ceramic tile and it does not stick at all. The four suction cups are white opaque plastic and are firm to the touch and do not have much grab to them.

Other than that, this organizer is deep and holds a lot of toys. It also has two convenient hooks. It is soft and stores well. It feels well made.

I have had no luck getting this to stick to a tile wall. Clean, wet or dry nothing. It stays for an hour or so and falls again. However the white knobs turn and you can take off the whole back. We used 3M hooks because they work and hung it back up. WORKS!! Sad that you have to buy a $20 item and then modify so you can use it. However I like the material because unlike some scoops or organizers it doesn't breed mildew and mold, plus it's washable. That is why I gave it two stars but they really need to re-design the suction cups. Personally I think they should take them off and package them with the hooks, I mean it actually works!

Um, based on previous reviews, I bought this because it seemed like a no-brainer. It was a cute color, good size for the toys, and was sworn to stick. Right now, I have only 3 rubber duckies in this thing. Honestly, they're little rubber duckies- you can't even see them in the holder because they're so small they sit below the netting. But... 3 of the 4 suction cups come undone at least every 3 days. I have to go back into the tub and re-stick them to the tub wall. For the amount of money this Tubby is... I would expect it to actually work. I can't imagine it holding when there are actually more toys in the thing.

I have Amazon Prime and it was at my doorstep within 2 days.

I was looking for a toy holder that actually stayed on my tiled walls. I had the munchkin toy holder previously and that didn't last. So far this has held strong (we've had it for about a week) and it holds all my son's toys. I really like the material too. Great buy!
