At some point in every parent’s life, it becomes necessary to potty train your child. Depending on the child, this can be a painless process or the longest few months of your life. One thing that any parent can appreciate, however, is an easy to use training toilet that cleans up quick and isn’t an eyesore in your bathroom.

The Boon Potty Bench is all of these things and more. First, it’s aesthetically pleasing. It has a modern look, and the bright green color keeps it fun. It also comes with tons of features that you and your child will love. The Potty Bench has a storage space on both sides of the training toilet which are the perfect size for keeping books, magazines or wipes. There’s also a built-in toilet paper holder, so your child doesn’t half to walk across the bathroom to get some. Also, the drawer is easy to slide out, empty and clean, and comes with a removable deflector shield for little boys.

This toilet training Potty Bench is the perfect combination of style and function. The side storage spaces keep everything your child needs handy, and they’ll love having their own toilet paper roll. Plus, once you put the top down, the potty functions as a super sturdy stool that either you or your child can stand on. Once you try it out, you’ll wonder why you ever used anything else.

My daughter is just about to start potty training, so I was very excited to give this a try. I stocked it up with some of her favorite books, some flushable wipes and a roll of toilet paper. When I showed it to her, she was a little cautious, but she warmed up to it pretty fast. She loved having her own little corner of the bathroom, and she was able to drag it over to the sink when she wanted to wash her hands.

I couldn’t get over how easy it was to use. The shape was very compact and fit great, even in our small bathroom. Also, it made it easy to keep her books and magazines from taking over the bathroom- this way they had their own place to go. Being able to keep wipes right next to her made her feel more self-sufficient, and she needed me to come in and help her less because of it. Finally, this potty chair was super easy to clean. The drawer was easy to take out and empty, making my life a whole lot easier.

Whether you’re just about to start potty training, or already have an old pro, this potty chair will be great for your family. Any child will appreciate having their own toilet that’s just their size, but doesn’t look too childish. And all parents will appreciate the increased self-sufficiency and easy cleanup.

Boon Inc. – The Bug Pod Bath Toy Scoop, Drain And Storage Review And Giveaway Ends 9/20 (US/CAN)

You’ve probably heard about Boon and their line of creative children’s products. They’ve been in all kinds of magazines lately, from Southern Living and Ladies Home Journal to American Baby. They’ve also been featured on a range of TV shows, including The Early Show, Ellen and the Today Show. If you haven’t heard the buzz, here’s a primer: Boon was born out of a designer’s frustration with a messy bathtub. Rebecca Finell was sick of bath toys all over her bathroom, and created the Frog Pod, a handy bath toy holder. Since then she has founded a business on innovative products that address common parenting challenges, which are both high-quality and safe.

One of these amazing products is the Bug Pod, a variant of the original Frog Pod. The Bug Pod is the ultimate, all in one bath toy holder. The Bug Pod does many things at once. Most importantly, it holds bath toys and keeps them out of the way when it’s not bath time. The holder also has drains, so that the toys can dry out and stay that way. It comes with a wall-mounted base, instead of suction cups, so that the Bug Pod never falls off the walls.

One of the cool things about the Bug Pod is that it’s also a bath toy scoop. When bath time is over, it’s a snap to just scoop the toys up and store them in the Bug Pod. But that’s not all the Bug Pod can do. It also has space to store shampoo, conditioner or soap, keeping them out of slippery toddler hands. Finally, the bug’s cute antennas are the perfect shape and size for holding a little loofah.

I was really excited to try out this Bug Pod, because, like most moms of toddlers, my daughter’s bath toys were taking over our bathroom. I’ve tried mesh bags on suction cups, but they always fall off the wall, and I worry about them hitting my daughter’s head. Also, I’ve been looking for a way to limit my daughter’s growing bath toy collection, and this seemed like the perfect way. I told her that she could keep as many toys as would fit in the Bug Pod, and the rest we would donate to someone who needed them.

Although my daughter wasn’t super excited about giving away some of her rubber duckies, her excitement over the Bug Pod quickly overshadowed this minor pitfall. She loved how cute the ladybug looked on our bathtub wall, and she had a blast scooping up her toys with it after bath time. Also, with the Bug Pod, I didn’t have to worry about her getting hold of her baby soap and spilling it all over herself. The Bug Pod has truly made bath time an enjoyable activity for everyone in the family.

If you have a child who loves their bath toys, the Bug Pod will make a huge difference in your life. No more suction cups, no more bath toys taking over your bathroom, and no more spilled soap when you turn your back. The Bug Pod by Boon is the perfect addition to any family’s bath time, and it will make everyone in your family happy.

WIN IT!
