Micky’s Favorite Bath Toy Hub
Posted by Missy W. @ 8:56 AM
We’ve had the Boon Frog Pod bath toy receptacle for about 2.5 years. I think it’s a mediocre device. Because it’s on the wall, it’s sort of out of sight, out of mind. I forget it’s there (even though it’s huge) and we tend to play with the same four cups and shark we play with every night at bath. Today I went in to get bath ready and the poor ol’ frog lay at the bottom of the tub. The stickum finally lost its stick. It’s pretty easy to get some new stickum, but I’m not sure I want to put it back up. The toys stack up and it startles our guests when they shower, although that’s the fun part.
Micky suggested her favorite - the Toy Hub Organizer Tray by One Step Ahead.
Here’s why she likes it:
• It’s a snap to clean.
• Water drains out of it well.
• It doesn’t rust like the fancy metal ones.
• Toys are accessible and easy to grab. You can’t fit a ton of toys in it, but that is a good thing! Who needs that many bath toys in the bath at once? Go ahead and rotate ‘em.
I place it at the end of the tub opposite of the faucet so my almost-three year old doesn’t use the sloped part of the tub as a “water slide”.
Thanks for the input, Micky!
Ed Note: I read on the One Step Ahead site that this toy hub does NOT work on tubs with shower enclosures.
At $10.95 versus $38.95 for the Frog Pod, it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Absolutely! It’s such a part of our life now I almost wouldn’t think of it as something to recommend—but we couldn’t do without it. No more fighting with suction cups. What a relief.
