Disco Tub Lights
Suitable for children 12 months upwards

Munchkin’s Disco Tub Lights features two sea creature shaped lights that glow or flash as they float in water. Or they can be attached to the side of the bath with their suction cups. The lights auto shut off after 90 seconds. Batteries are not replaceable.

Claire says: “Maddy and I loved these. We have a small dark bathroom with no natural light so these looked fantastic in the bath. Ours were green and red. You can either let them float in the water, or stick them to the side of the bath and bottom of the bath. It’s clever that you can turn them on by pressing them even when stuck to the side of the bath. It’s a shame that you can’t change the battery when they run out. But they are great fun anyway.”

The Shampoo Rinser
Suitable for children aged 6 months upwards
Available in blue or pink, this shampoo rinser has a soft rim to form a seal around a baby’s forehead allowing the hair to be rinsed without getting water in the eyes.
£4.49

Claire says: “I think this product has saved my life. Mads hates having her hair rinsed after being shampooed. She has quite long fine blonde hair that needs a wash regularly as it gets food in it. I have had screaming tantrums in the bath before because no matter how hard I try, water would get in her eyes. This rinser is fantastic. It actually works. It fits around her forehead and rinses out the shampoo in her hair. Brilliant.”

Bath Dunkers
Suitable for children aged 6 months upwards

Munchkin’s basket ball toy attaches to the side of the bath with suckers. There are three fish that double up as basket balls and water squirters. There are net ties on the bottom of the hoop to store the balls.

Claire says: “Mads loves bath time anyway and this little game is a change from having to be a quacking duck. She likes popping them through the hoop and dropping them into the bath. I like that there is a drawstring at the bottom to store the balls. It doesn’t create storage issues because it is all self-contained.”

Best of all…
The shampoo rinser is a life saver

Could improve…
Nothing but it’s a shame the batteries are not replaceable on the flashing lights.
