8 of the best bath toy storage solutions

A good storage box or net also helps the toys dry quickly, which reduces the risk of mildew. As you probably know, bath toys are prone to bacteria and fungus growth due to the increased moisture. Luckily, there are simple ways to clean your child's bath toys, but it's also important they have airflow to drain post-bathtime.

With that in mind, we’ve used recommendations from our parent testers to pick the most convenient and attractive bath storage products for scooping up toys and keeping your bathroom clutter-free.

Here's our pick of the best bath toy storage solutions

1. Munchkin Super Scoop Bath Toy Organiser, Grey, £17.99

– best for reducing mildew

Available from: Amazon

Material type: Plastic

This high-quality hanging bath storage features a push lock suction cup that mounts to tile and fibreglass tub walls. What's important is that the mesh fabric increases air flow, so toys dry quickly to reduce the risk of mildew. Its wide mouth makes it easy for kids to grabs multiple toys at once, making bath times run more smoothly.

I’ve seen a lot of people use this type of storage in their bathroom. You can stick it to the inside of the bath where you can’t see. It comes with an adhesive disk so sticks to most surfaces and actually stays put.

2. Curver Your Style Recycled basket, £2.50

– best value basket

Available from: Tesco

Material type: 100% recycled plastic

For a low-cost storage basket, you can't go wrong with Tesco's stylish rattan-effect basket made from durable resin. These storage baskets are multifunctional, looking good not only in your bathroom but your kitchen, living room or office space too. Plus, they're long-lasting and easy to clean.

We’ve got a couple of these in grey. I think they keep bathrooms tidy but they’re not bad to look at either.

3. Mesh Net Bath Toy Organizer, £8.99

– best simple design

Available from: Amazon

Material type: Netting

For a simple bath toy storage solution we like this mesh net, which acts as a pocket for all your child's bathtime essentials, made with polyester edging and large suction cups. The fast-drying polyester edging is a win, plus its good air circulation and fast draining effect prevents bacteria and mould from growing inside toys. This storage net is also multifunctional – it could be used to store any sponges, kids' shampoo or brushes you may have.

4. Ubbi Bath Toy Drying Bin, £19.99

– best non-suction solution

Available from: Amazon

Material type: Plastic

The nifty bath handles on this drying bin allow you to scoop toys out the bath, which can then easily drip out the bottom through the draining holes. It’s large enough to store any sized toy plus it's dishwasher safe, which is always a bonus! If you’re not a fan of suction pads or they don't work with your bath tiles or tub, this is the one for you.

5. Baby Shower Bath Toy Storage Bag, £11.50

– best for child-friendly design

Available from: PatPat

Material type: PVC+ Polyester

Both kids and parents will love this quirky animal design during bath times. This storage bag boasts 2 suction cups and a roomy net that allows plenty of toys to drain.

6. Infantino 2-in-1 Bath Mat & Storage Basket, £21

– best 2-in-1 function

Available from: Amazon and Vertbaudet

Material type: Plastic

We love this design due to its 2-in-1 function, working as both a skid-resistant bath mat and storage basket with suction cups that stick to the bath or wall.

As a bathmat, this charming turtle-shaped product is suitable for use from 3 months. To store toys, fold it into a basket to keep them all together as they dry out from the draining holes whilst stuck to the wall.

7. Nooni Care Shower Organiser, £15.95

– best for versatility

Available from: Amazon

Material type: 100% synthetic rubber (neoprene) and polyester

This adorable baby toy storage comes as a large net with 2 suction cups. The ‘Tubby Turtle’s cute design, which acts as the mesh net, also does a good job of keeping children entertained during bathtime.

It’s also made of a premium quick drying mould resistant material, meaning toys are free from potential bacteria or mould growth.

10. Munchkin Corner Bath Organiser, £9.31

– best for a neat storage solution

Available from: Amazon

Material type: Neoprene

We like this toy organiser’s adjustable suction cups that firmly hold to your bath wall and work to avoid grout lines. It’s important to note its mildew resistant material, along with the drain hole on the bottom and netted front that allows toys to quickly air dry.

Due to its wide mouth kids will find it easy and fun to put all their toys away. It's slightly smaller than some other bath organisers, so if you’ve got an impressive collection of toys, big and small, it's wiser to go for a bigger model. However if you're after a neat storage solution that's tucked away, this would be ideal.
