Welcome back, babynames.co.uk readers!
We have another product review for you all – this week, we will be testing the Munchkin Corner Bath Organiser! Read on to get our independent and unbiased views on the product.
Here is the official product description from Munchkin:
“Have bath toys slowly taken over the family bath? There’s no need to limit the fun when you can keep the mess cornered instead! The Munchkin Corner Bath Organiser is made of mildew-resistant material and provides an easy storage solution for your little one’s growing collection of bath toys, squirters, crayons and more. Its net front allows you to quickly locate your child’s favourite toys, while a drain hole at the bottom keeps them clean and dry after use. This handy toy container attaches to the corner of your wall with suction cups, keeping everything organised and off the bath floor – so you’re no longer tripping over the bath toys your little squirt leaves behind.”
In addition, the product promises to keep toys dry and organised, be mildew resistant, is netted and has a drain hole to help toys dry and also suctions to the wall firmly.
DESIGN
The organiser comes in three vibrant colours – blue, pink and purple. Right off the bat, we love how bright it is and it brings a lovely pop of colour to an otherwise dreary bathroom. Not only that, but it helps to make the bathroom more baby orientated. The size of the organiser is deceptively roomy, as it is big enough to hold a substantial amount of small to medium sized toys (of course, you can also put other bath essentials into it!). However, it does not take up valuable shampoo/conditioner space around the bath because it is designed to fit into the corner of your bath and to take up as little space as possible.
There are four large suckers, which can be used to stick to the corner of your bathroom on the tiled section. The suction is quite strong and have stayed put, even with it fully filled with objects. Unlike weaker suckers that don’t say put due to it not being able to handle the weight of the objects, the Munchkin organiser had no problems with its suction. We suggest giving the wall you are going to stick the suckers to a good clean and wet the suckers for maximum hold.
We recommend putting the bath organiser at a height which allows you to hold your baby in the bath safely while still in arms reach to get any toys. This is particularly handy for any first time parents who are a bit nervous about bathing their baby, as this holds everything you need in one place and there is no need to fumble around.
MATERIAL
The organiser is made of a neoprene fabric similar to that of a wet suit, so it doesn’t matter if it gets wet over and over. It also means it holds any drips from wet toys. Because of this fabric choice, it is unlikely that there will be any mildew problems as it dries fairly quickly. However, it should still go into the wash every once in a while for a good clean. It washes well so there is no concerns about it not holding up in the washing machine.
SPECIAL FEATURES
One of the best features of the product is the steps it takes to keep both the organiser itself and the items inside it as dry as possible. It has a hole at the bottom of the organiser for extra water to drain out and the netted patch at the front helps to ventilate the toys, as well as serving a double purpose to let you see what items are inside the organiser. It is small details like these that make Munchkin such a good company for baby products.
In addition, this organiser would make a fun tidying up game for older children. It is great for encouraging clean up as your little ones can use it as a basket to throw their toys in. This is a wonderful way to get children to learn to tidy up after themselves as well as being a nifty storage basket!
VALUE FOR MONEY
The product retails from £5.25 on Amazon.co.uk (depending on which seller you choose, the price may vary). This organiser may be slightly more expensive than other bathroom storage products, but we think that it is good value for one main reason – it is washable and mildew resistant. Other plastic storage products inevitably get mouldy from being exposed to so much water and steam from a bathroom and often are hard to clean, so must be thrown away. The Munchkin Corner Bath Organiser, however, can be easily and repeatedly washed, making it more durable and value for money than any cheaper options.
OUR VERDICT: 👏👏👏👏
In summary: This is a cleverly designed product that is perfect for bathroom organisation. It takes up little to no room but can hold a large amount of toys and the fact that it can be easily washed makes it a winner. This is a bathroom staple that you will keep for years to come.
