    Bath toy storage/organiser???

    Hi all
    Im looking for a way to store all DS's bath toys.
    During the nappy hunt I noticed some sites selling the net bags that suction cup to the tiles...naturally I forgot to bookmark the sites lol
    So anyway Im wondering if anyone uses these bag things??? Are they any good??? Where can I find them?? Or is there any other ideas for storage???
    Thanks guys

    I've got a net thing that I got from Target or Woolies... it does ok, but can fall off easily as I have textured tiles. There are also some bucket things (which have an insert so the stuff can drain) that look pretty good, but are a bit pricey. From memory Bambino Pronto had those..

    Good luck!

    I had the suction cup mesh bag. I think we got it at target or a baby shop, but a laundry mesh bag is probably cheaper.

    I actually went for the $$$ version, as I'm a bit thingy about decorating my house...but that's just me.

    I have a "boon frog pod" you can google them, they are not cheap but I love it. It holds his cup with toothbrush, shampoo & all his toys...even has a space to hang a face washer etc. It's really strong also.

    Though he now likes to jump into the shower every chance & is grabbing toys all the time and bringing them in...so thinking about getting one of the net things for the shower.

    I have the suction cup mesh bag but it never stays up. Will look at the boon frog pod though! Also, if anyone has those squirter toys, watch for the mould that grows inside them. I've just thrown all ours out. DS was sucking them and I hate to think how much mould he's sucked down before I noticed.

    We bought a mesh bath toy holder with a cute yellow duck on either side where the suctions are ... rarely comes down & i would so recommend it. The mesh bag holds heaps of toys. We paid $24.95 but i have seen them a bit dearer at $29.95 ... i know sounds like a lot of $ but i wanted to pay more for one that stayed on well on the bathroom tiles above the bath. We got ours from the chemist shop but i think i have seen them in BigW (??) and i have also see them in the linen shop called ' Holy Sheet '.

    I too agree ... squeeze the toys with holes or squirters in them after each bath as mould does build up in them if you don't, YUK !!!

    We have a reasonably sized tiled ledge at the end of the bath, so I got a shopping basket to put on the ledge - like the ones at Woolies or Coles, but just plain black. Can't remember where I got it - one of the $2 shops or Kmart or the like, I believe, and it didn't cost much. Was awhile back. But it's great, cause it has holes all over - sides and bottom. So it drains straight down into the bath when the kids put their toys back in there, and I've never had a problem with mould etc from there being water left in there, plus with the handles it makes it easy just to grab it and take it out if necessary (like when I clean the toys or we have a special party or something and I want to make sure they're away out of sight)

    Thanks for the feedback guys Hmm might have to keep looking around....our tiles arent super textured, but they are kinda lumpy if that makes sense...so maybe the suction cups arent the best idea lol

    I also have the boon frog and love it. I will sell it when we are finished though to try and recoup some cost...
