Boon Love

Last week in the Stroller Traffic email newsletter there was a genius-beyond-words item featured. I was immediately intrigued and clicked on the link to check it out.

The product is the Boon Wrap protective bowl cover shown above {also available in a beautiful tangerine shade}, or, according to the manufacturer's website, body armor for dishes. LOVE. Maybe Big Squish is just a maniac at meal times, but more often than not most of the food ends up on the floor and occasionally all the time an entire dish is thrown in a fit of happy rage. Boon Wrap, come to mama! This is totally one of those 'why didn't I think of that?' products.

I was so intrigued with the Wrap I began to look into their other products. Holy moly. Their entire product range is genius. Here are some of my favorites:

What WHAT?! A gold high-chair??! Alert the media. It literally comes in nearly 20 other color-combos and has multiple positions allowing for use through roughly age 4 or 5. The downside? It breaks the bank with its $500 price tag. But then again it is gold...




Next up...Boon Benders:

These are great. We actually own them and I had no idea they were made by Boon. When little piglets are just learning to feed themselves it is often tough for them to bend their wrists at the proper angle, and the angle of these utensils alleviates some of that difficulty.

Readers, meet Flo:

Head over to the Boon website to check out the different photos of Flo. She's quite the knockout. Most faucet covers are a pile of doo and have zero practicality; the cover hardly fits the faucet, water shoots everywhere, and both the floor and parent end up drenched. All in all, no bueno. Although I have not personally tried out Flo, after viewing the pictures I don't think any of the above problems would occur. Added bonus: there's a built in bubble bath dispenser. These people think of everything!

Funny, our bath time is always this peaceful and serene, too.

We also own this bottle drying wrack by Boon. It is hardly a wrack, and its uses span far beyond that of just drying bottles. I don't mind keeping it out on the counter at all times either as it is far from an eye sore. The only other drying wrack that even comes close to this one is by Beaba, available here at Williams-Sonoma, but the Boon Lawn {which also comes in a smaller version, Grass} still wins for sheer creativity and cleverness in my book.

Now this one I am PUMPED about. Finally. FINALLY! A, dare I say it?, truly chic toddler training toilet. With storage?!


Me likey.

Amazingly innovative products in fantastic colors that are extremely well-designed and useful to boot?? Heartsies for Boon.

  1. love boon also!! we have the flo and it is great. sadly the bubble bath dispenser does not really work (at least for us? could be operator error?), but that does not diminish my love for a good looking (i.e. not whale or duck) faucet cover. great finds!!

  3. I love the high chair! The color is great of course but it perfectly eliminates the need to purchase & store multiple seating products from infant to toddler. I'm so over my storage unit at this point...Thanks for sharing!

  5. What a great post! I think I'll pick up the spoons and Flo - love the way you refer to her as a "knock out"!

  6. I'm going to be honest here. The Boon high chair looks great but we carried it at our store and it was a pain to use and even demo to clients. I would not recommend it to anyone. It works better as chair than as a feeding chair as tray is not easy to take on and off.

    That being said, I love the rest of their products and think they are fabulous! I need to try out the wrap though but looks like it will be a new purchase in my house.

  7. Andrika I'm so glad to know that about the high chair. Now my envy is diminished!! Still think the gold is amazing though :)

  8. The high chair is actually manufactured by Bloom, which is a separate and unrelated company from Boon. However, Boon does makes a somewhat similar and equally modern high chair that is half the price :)
