Our recommendations

Prince Lionheart Bath Hammock draped across a tub corner

Best for bulky toy collections

Prince Lionheart Bath Hammock

The mesh hammock clears toys from the tub floor without permanent fittings; the tradeoff is finding surfaces where all three suction cups hold.

Best for
Families with smooth bathroom surfaces and a collection of bath toys to drain
Main downside
Suction mounting depends on a clean, smooth surface.
Skip it if
Your tile is textured or you need storage that stands on a shelf.

Worth knowing

  • Stretchy mesh gives wet toys a place to drain and air-dry.
  • Three suction cups attach to smooth bathroom surfaces without drilling.
  • The manufacturer lists an expanded span of up to four feet.

OXO Tot Bath Toy Bin showing scoop shape and drain holes

Best for kid-led scoop-and-store

OXO Tot Bath Toy Bin

A smart, kid-friendly shape for quick cleanup, though it leaves toys exposed between baths.

Best for
Parents encouraging toddlers to clean up independently without heavy lifting
Main downside
Limited volume overflows if you own a large toy collection.
Skip it if
You want a lidded unit or need storage for dozens of items.

Worth knowing

  • Scoop-and-drain organizers earn repeat praise for making toy cleanup easy, with one owner reporting the same scoop lasting 15 years.
  • Kids can help scoop toys directly from the water.
  • Wide base holes let water escape quickly after bathtime.

OXO Tot Stand Up Bath Toy Bin with perforated sides

Best upright capacity for ledges

OXO Tot Stand Up Bath Toy Bin

Excellent stability and airflow for tall toys, but it demands sufficient flat surface area.

Best for
Countertop or wide ledge setups needing vertical storage without wall mounting
Main downside
Vertical height can block faucet controls on narrow ledges.
Skip it if
Shelf space is tight or you prefer enclosed cabinets for toy hygiene.

Worth knowing

  • One owner separates the bin from its base tray to drain after baths, then snaps it back on to carry toys out of the tub.
  • In the same thread, that owner calls the capacity modest and rotates toys in and out rather than storing a whole collection.
  • Tall walls corral bubble wands and stacking toys upright.

Before you buy

  • Drainage and drying design: Wet toys trapped in stagnant air develop mildew quickly, so airflow shapes how often parents must sanitize.
  • Mounting and placement flexibility: Bathrooms vary in tile, wall space, and tub ledge depth, so attachment style dictates whether the unit actually fits.
  • Capacity versus tub-edge footprint: A bin that holds all toys but blocks the faucet or falls inward creates more frustration than a smaller, stable alternative.
  • Any product: check current recall information before buying — the kids' product recall tracker lists recent CPSC recalls of children's products.

How we narrowed it down

  • Confirmed Prince Lionheart SKU 4106 uses three suction cups and stretchy mesh, rather than rigid arms or a tub cross-bar.
  • Compared the OXO scoop and stand-up bin formats for drainage and placement.
  • Matched the product photographs to the three recommendations.
