Baby Products Reviews of Boon Flo Water Deflector, Faucet Cover With Bubble Bath Dispenser Kiwi
Customer Review: A few issues, but generally pretty good.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this Flo for my 1-year old. I'd previously bought the frog bath organizer and liked the quality of it, so after reading some reviews, bought the Flo, as well. Out of the box, the Flo did not work well. For one thing, it refused to stay on my standard bath faucet. Big problem, obviously. But customer service was fantastic. The guy I spoke with stayed on the phone with me until we could engineer something to keep it on there. Eventually, we discovered that if you wrap a hand towel around the faucet, the Flo would stay on pretty well. That fix has worked for the last 3 months. One other issue wasa that the soap dispenser is not reliable. The soap leaks. So we don't use that feature. But as a faucet cover, water fall, and bath toy, it works great. Despite the minor issues, the value of customer service and general quality of the product still make it worth the price.Customer Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is pretty disappointing. It does not clamp tightly to the faucet spout and slips off to the end causing water to flow out the back. My spout is a typical design so the cover should be able fit properly. Many people mentioned the need for a shower pop-up knob, which we do have. When someone takes a shower, the cover slips forward holding the knob up. The knob would normally pop back down when the shower is turned off. Instead I get an icy cold shower when I turn my daughter's bath water on! The other problem is that the resevoir to hold bubble bath leaks badly and when I filled it in the evening at bath time it had completely drained by morning. This happened the very first time we used it, not after soap gunk had built up in the dispenser. The only feature I did like was that it was effective at diffusing the water flow which made it quieter and less scary to my baby.Customer Review: Design flaw, explained
Summary: 1 Stars
Like others, I like Boon products and this one looked great. However, it does not work on my bath's faucet/spout -- it falls off easily and often, from my baby touching it, from the water flow, sometimes all by itself when noone's near it. The problem seems to be two-fold:
1) Our bath spout does not have the pull-knob on it to switch between bath/shower mode. Ours is built into the wall. This knob may hold the Boon Flo on better (it is pictured in the product photos).
2) The hinge-spring doesn't seem tight enough -- it seems to loosen after a couple of weeks.
I wish Boon had specified that it doesn't work for certain types of bath faucets. Leaves me wary of the company's other products (even though I've bought some other ones which work fine). I may try silicon tape, as someone here suggested, but I shouldn't have to . . .
Customer Review: great product!

i love this! i have a cat that will not stay out of the tub because he loves to play with the faucet and this drives me nuts! this cover deters him from the tub and faucet! i love it! my daughter loves it so much too! she loves the waterfall effect it has. I have a larger faucet so it was awkward at first and the water was leaking out of the back of it, but after moving it around a bit and got a better grip/seal on the faucet with it, it works just fine now! easy clean up too. just soak in in bleach a little but when i clean up her other bath toys and it's good as new. I don't have issues with nasty mildew with mine as other's have reported in their reviews. i never have to remove it unless i'm cleaning it. it's great and never in the way and looks great in my bathroom.Customer Review: leaks soap
Summary: 2 Stars
I was not impressed with this item. While it did prevent my two year old from bumping his head on the hard faucet and made for extra frothy bubble baths, I found that it leaked the bubble bath soap I put in it. One brand of bubble bath I use is thicker and it clogged. Perhaps my tub faucet is larger than standard but I had a hard time opening the Flo wide enough to slip it on easily. It ended up at funny angle that allowed water to pool in the end. The water spray freaked out my son at first, even on low waterflow. He got used to it after a few days but never really took to it and refused to wash his hair under it. Eventually he asked me to take it off the faucet. I will try it again when he's older, I suppose. Knowing what I know now I would not spend my money on it.
