Review: Boon Flo

Since we stopped bathing Anderson in the Primo EuroBath we've had to worry about him bonking his head on the bathtub faucet. So we searched our local baby store to find a good faucet cover. We had heard about the Flo from Boon before, so we were excited to try it out.

It seems as though the Flo is hit or miss with a lot of people. And it really just depends on whether it fits on your faucet correctly. The first tub we tried it fit perfectly. But the second tub we tried we had to struggle a little bit to fit it onto the faucet properly. However, we were able to get it to fit on nice and snugly. The Flo produces a great waterfall effect when you're filling your tub.

The Flo also has a resevoir which you can fill with bubble bath. We filled ours up and pressed the button on the front to give Anderson his first bubble bath (which did not go all that well). We found that there were a few problems with the resevoir; it only holds enough bubble bath for two or three baths, and it leaks bubble bath solution even when you're not pressing the button. I realize now that its possible that the solution we were using (Mr. Bubble) wasn't thick enough; that would explain both problems. So, we'll have to try something a little thicker next time.

The Boon Flo is available at Amazon, Baby Wise, and your favorite baby product retailer nationwide.
