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

 Advice for those having trouble with it falling June 6, 2006
Q
73 out of 75 found this review helpful
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.
Wow! Finally a bath storage system that works perfectly. August 28, 2006

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!

I recently purchased the Frog Pod for my 11 month old's bath toys, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! We tried nets that suctioned to the wall, but they just fell and didn't hold very much. I couldn't convince myself to order it online without seeing it first, then one day while out shopping I found it in a store and had to have it. Frog Pod is huge and well worth the money.

I love this product. Mine also fell down after 1 month, but I put it on the curve part of my tub too. I called boon and they were super and sent me out new tape. I put it on a flat surface of the tub and so far so good. Boon has excellent customer service!!!!!!

Finally, a bathroom organizer that works! The bucket on the frog has ample space to hold all the toys that my son has plus room for more (and we have LOTS of toys). I also like that I can rinse all of his toys off and none of them rest on the sides or bottom of the tub making it easy to clean. We get lots of compliments on the frog because of his functionality and good looks. I was a bit hesitant to purchase because of reviews about the frog not staying mounted but I have had none. I also used extra caution and rubbed my shower down an extra time with rubbing alcohol and allowed the base to remain adhered for 48 hours before attaching the frog and toy laden scoop. I have purchased more as both baby and birthday gifts.....go ahead, order & enjoy!
