This is such an innovative idea that when I saw it, I had to read more about it. The Boon Bug Pod looks like a toy but actually stores bath toys. It’s more than just a storage area, however. The pod has a drainable scoop to collect and rinse toys, plus a wall-mounted base to store them. You can use the enclosed adhesive strips or screws to mount the Boon Bug Pod to the wall. All of this will help to keep mold and mildew to a minimum, an important consideration when dealing with your child’s health and well-being while having fun in the bathtub.

The Boon Bug Pod seems like a vast improvement over the mesh bag that attaches to the bathtub wall with suction cups that I currently use to store bath toys, which is constantly falling off the wall. The Boon Bug Pod measures 11″ x 17″ x 7 1/2″ and sells for $35.99 at KangarooBoo.com.

I’ve had my eye on this potty chair from Boon for a while now.  At one point, we had more potty chairs than we could use.  I actually ended up giving one away.  Now we seem to need another one, and I think that this one will fit the bill perfectly.  I love the simple, functional design of this seat.

The Boon Potty Bench, which easily converts to a step stool, has a very clean and contemporary design that grown-ups will appreciate.  The green color is also a great match for my bathroom, which is an added  bonus.  Other terrific features include storage compartments and a built-in toilet paper holder.

What a practical idea: fork and spoon sets for children that bend. Toddler motor skills are not fully developed by the time they’re ready to learn to use dinner utensils. Benders by Boon are designed to help make the transition to regular utensils a little easier. Since you know your child better than the manufacturer, you can bend these utensils into the shape that best fits your child’s skill level. And you can continue re-shaping them as your child’s skills develop.

Benders adapt to a child’s developing grip—use a sharper angle for early stages, straighter for advanced stages. It has soft, easy-grip handles and is dishwasher-safe. Benders are BPA free and phthalate free, have no sharp edges, and the handles are easy for babies to grasp.

Benders measure 1.3 x 4.8 x .5 inches and are recommended for ages 9 months and up. You can buy them for $6.50 at KangarooBoo.
