Munchkin Fire Ducky Spout Guard

 (16 customer reviews)

I don't have this model, but the one with the blue bubble shower cap, and it doesn't seem to matter when reading the other reviews of this model because the mildew problem is still the same! What were these manufacturers thinking?! The design leaves MANY crevices where mold develops (under the flip top, the spout area, in and around the inside..). I have to clean it out every week if that, and even then, some of the crevices are too small for even a toothbrush to reach, so now I will have to resort to soaking it in a diluted bleach solution.
The only positive to say about this spout guard is that, yes, it does protect your child from bumping his head, but when they're toddlers, you will cringe to see them try to drink water out of the flip top and suck on it if there is MILDEW growing on the duck! All in all, this is a horrible product!

If you have a newer spout, this product may not work for you. It did not fit our "standard" spout (installed 3 years ago).

You may want to skip this product anyway. There is a bubble bath compartment under the duck's hat which can allow mildew/mold to collect if left wet. (My mother has a similar Munchkin spout guard which did just that.)

The following product has worked great for us. (Sassy's definition of a "standard" tub spout is considerably broader than that of Munchkin.):

Excellent product- there are no crevices or spots for mildew to build up, it fits all of our tub spouts, and everyone who I bought one for absolutely loves the product. A real hit! And what a bargain for under 10 bucks!
