Our Editorial Review
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.
Amazon.com Review 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

I love my Frog Pod! Posted 22 August 2008
I have had this Frog Pod for four years and I love it (so does my son). I bought one of these when they first came out and haven't regretted it for a minute. I didn't want to use the adhesive that came with it because it said it was permanent (This was long before the suction cups) and I didn't want to do a lot of scraping to remove the adhesive when he got older so I used command adhesive instead and it worked perfectly. It has never fallen in 4 years.
Yes it is big, I was surprised by that too but I don't believe it is an unreasonable size for the amount of bath toys your average child has. I think most new parents (like me) just don't realize how many bath toys are going to accumulate!. I have had to rotate my son's bath toys over the years to have them all fit.
I would definitely buy this again and have bought them for several of my friends. It is a delightful design and a wonderful color that alway brings a smile to my face when i see it. I love that it provides such neat storage and makes it soooooo easy to pick up all the toys at the end of the bath. When my son was younger he used to love to watch the water coming back out of the holes as we cleaned up now he loves to clean up himself because it makes it so fun. Often he will dump out the toys in the bath and play with the scoop instead. I have even used it for rinsing the shampoo out of his hair.
I am not discounting the people that couldn't get the pod to stay on the wall I am sure it was frustrating but if you are one of the people, like me, who can get it to stay GREAT product, GREAT design, GREAT functionality. LOTS OF FUN!
Didn't stick for me!! Thank Goodness my kids weren't taking a bath when it fell!!! Posted 18 August 2008
It looks nice and does keep toys in it, but if you have a boy that likes to play with boats; the boats will not fit unless they are the size of a regular rubber ducky size!
I read the instructions before putting up... I cleaned the tile and waited like 3-4 hrs before placing it up.. I thought it worked nicely and even enjoyed it for about 2 days till I heard a loud noise come from in the bath room and found it had fallen down off the tile into the bathtub... Thank Goodness my kids, my husband, or I wasn't the shower/tub when it fell. I tried to return it but they wouldn't take it back so I had it in the box forever then just gave it away to someone who said they would nail it up... They are using it now on a regular wall... I suggest not buying it at all!!! You can find a big bucket and paint the kids names on it and put the toys in... I did... I wish I never bought the thing.. It really only holds little toys, it don't grow with the child... Sorry That's just my opinion!! If you do end up just having to buy it I hope it works out better for you than it did for me!!
Not for Italian tile or similar surfaces... Posted 29 July 2008
It's very stylish and modern. Although it didn't stick to our Italian tile shower wall. The only solution to that problem would be to use the attachment for screws (but who would want to drill holes in their shower wall??) or use waterproof superglue -- and that's exactly what I did. Only you have to get the type of glue that is waterproof and the stronger the glue -- the better. Another thing is that the container for toys doesn't really hold all that much and the whole thing is pretty large in size, but it's mostly the base of it (the actual frog) that's taking up all the room...so pretty much it's just for "looks" if you know what I mean.
It's too big for a small tub! Posted 22 July 2008
We registered for this before my daughter was born without actually seeing it in real life. It is huge! I don't know anything else about it because we never used it and gave it to my sister-in-law. We have a small tub and it was way too big to try to put in there. So if you have a large tub I'm sure it is wonderful, but don't buy it if you have a small one!
