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

Hung it with screws above the tiling on the wall November 28, 2008
M. Beebe (Rotterdam, Netherlands)
We tried the adhesive and it fell within the first few hours. But then my husband took out his drill and screwed it into the wall above the tiling. I have to say I like this location for it better. No more accidentally bumping it while in the shower and it makes the tub look less cluttered. We stuff it full and have had no problems. The fun scoop makes it so my boys actually pick up the majority of the toys themselves and then I just hang it back up. I took off one star only because they market this as being able to withstand the weight of the thing with the adhesive and it clearly will not. I got mine at Target.com and this is the better deal.
 love it! November 10, 2008

This is great if you have lots of bath toys. I tried it first with just the suction cups, but that fell off the wall constantly. Then, I tried with the sticky tape provided. That fell off after about a week. Then, I finally screwed it into the wall. It's been up for months now and it's easy for my kids to clean up after themselves. It keeps the bath looking neat all the time. Overall I'm very pleased with this product.
Love it!! November 3, 2008
C. Licavoli (Brooklyn, NY United States)
I don't know why everyone is complaining that it won't stick... I have had no problems at all! Love it! Great for picking up toys in the tub quickly. I am only using the suction cups to stick it on the wall and have a large body wash and a shampoo plus a ton of toys on no problem and I just have plain tile. Maybe it has difficulty sticking on plastic liner walls but no problem here. I love this product! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because of the size... it is rather large overall but very cute and my son loves it!
Really big, but cool! October 11, 2008
Heather D (Philadephia, PA)
I bought this for my 2 year old son's bath time about 2 months ago. It was installed in less than 60 seconds using the suction cup method. I have a house built in the 1940's and I'm pretty sure the tile in my tub area is original -- this frog has stayed up for 8 weeks with no issues yet and seems pretty strong! Holds tons of toys + shampoo, baby wash, etc. I also hang pitchers that I use to rinse my son's hair over the frogs front legs. It is really big, but sure helps organize the bathroom:)
A favorite!!! October 6, 2008
A. Mushrush (Canton, OH United States)
We love the frog pod! We followed the directions for the suction cups, LOADED it full of toys and it is in the same exact spot it was one year ago! Never had any issues. We have a small bathroom - so this is pretty compact and stores a ton of stuff besides just toys. This is one of my favorite baby items - so much so, that I plan on giving one to a good friend as a gift!!!
