Its pockets can hold devices like tablets or phones, meaning that you can turn on Netflix while you're trying to wash your little one's hair.
Online, parents have been raving about this product.
"My kids now LOVE taking a bath – They race upstairs and into the bathroom to get first dibs on the shows they will watch or the songs they will pick. The curtain securely holds the iPad while the kids easily navigate through their shows and apps," one Amazon review said.
However, experts are continuing to warn parents about the dangers of excessive screen time in children.
