Boon built its reputation on solving small, annoying baby-gear problems with clean modern design. The brand is best known for the Grass and Lawn countertop drying racks — products almost every parent recognizes — and has expanded into bottles, feeding gear, bath toys and high chairs. Boon is owned by Tomy and sits in the accessible mid-range: better designed than budget gear, more affordable than the luxury brands.
This review covers Boon's core products available in the US in 2026, with an honest take on what the brand does well and where a different product makes more sense.
Is Boon a good baby brand?
Yes — Boon is a solid, practical mid-range brand. Its strength is identifying a specific everyday friction (drying bottles, containing bath toys, a high chair that actually wipes clean) and designing a focused product around it. Boon gear is well-made, modern enough to leave on the counter, and reasonably priced. It is not a luxury heirloom brand and does not pretend to be; it is the brand you reach for when you want something that simply works and looks good doing it.
Our Boon product reviews for 2026
Boon Lawn Countertop Drying Rack
The grass-blade drying rack that made Boon famous. Bottles, nipples, pump parts and small dishes slot between flexible blades to air-dry, and the whole thing has a small footprint on the counter. The Lawn is the larger, higher-capacity version.
- Holds a full day of bottle parts
- Small counter footprint
- Easy to rinse clean
- Base can collect water — empty it daily
Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack
The original, compact version of Boon's drying rack. Same flexible-blade design as the Lawn in a smaller size — ideal for families who pump or bottle-feed less, or for tight counters. Pairs with add-on accessories like the Twig and Stem.
- Compact and affordable
- Modular add-on accessories
- Modern look
- Lower capacity than the Lawn
Boon Nursh Silicone Pouch Bottles
An anti-colic bottle built around a soft silicone pouch that collapses as the baby drinks, reducing the air swallowed during feeds. The pouch and parts come fully apart for easy cleaning, and the design has fewer crevices than vented-straw bottles.
- Collapsible pouch reduces air intake
- Few parts, easy to clean
- Soft, breast-like feel
- Pouch can be fiddly to fill at first
Boon GRUB High Chair
A wipe-clean high chair with a seamless, crevice-free seat — no fabric pad to trap food and stain. It adjusts in height, the tray is dishwasher-safe, and the whole chair cleans up in seconds, which is the entire point of a high chair.
- Seamless, no fabric to stain
- Dishwasher-safe tray
- Quick height adjustment
- Firm seat — some add a cushion
Boon Snug Universal Stretch Lids
Stretchy silicone lids with built-in spouts and straws that turn almost any cup into a no-spill toddler cup. A genuinely clever travel and restaurant solution — no need to pack a dedicated sippy cup.
- Fits most cups and glasses
- Spout and straw versions
- Great for travel and dining out
- Not fully spill-proof if tipped hard
What Boon does well
- Problem-focused design. Boon products start from a specific annoyance and solve it cleanly — the Lawn for drying, Snug for travel cups, GRUB for wipe-clean feeding.
- Easy to clean. Seamless, crevice-free design runs through the range. For baby gear, cleanability is a real feature, and Boon takes it seriously.
- Modern aesthetics. Boon products look intentional on a kitchen counter rather than like plastic clutter.
- Fair mid-range pricing. Better designed than budget gear without luxury-tier prices.
What could be better
- The drying rack base. Water pools in the base of the Lawn and Grass and needs emptying daily, or it can develop film.
- Firm high-chair seat. The crevice-free GRUB seat is brilliant for cleaning but firm; some parents add a cushion for younger babies.
- Not a long-life heirloom brand. Boon products are well-made for their tier but plastic-based and outgrown in the normal baby-gear timeframe, unlike wood-based heirloom brands.
How Boon compares to other brands
Boon vs. Munchkin: the two compete closely in the mid-range. Munchkin has a wider catalog; Boon has stronger, more consistent design. Boon vs. Stokke: different tiers entirely — Boon's GRUB high chair is an affordable wipe-clean plastic chair, the Stokke Tripp Trapp is a wood heirloom. Boon vs. OXO Tot: both prize cleanability and smart design; choice usually comes down to which specific product solves your specific problem best.
