Bathing a newborn is always a frightening prospect for an unseasoned parent. However, this bather's design is well thought out to ease some of the anxiety about giving those first baths. First, the sling-style seat is made of a soft, nylon mesh that conforms to baby's body and reduces the chances of baby slipping down below the tub's water level--a potential hazard that is more likely with a smooth plastic bath seat. While there is a belt on this bather, it is intended to secure the cover to the wire frame, not to hold baby in the seat. For added comfort, the seat has cushioned edges so baby won't get poked by the bather's wire frame during bath time and a removable terrycloth and nylon padded headrest provides additional support for newborns. The backrest offers two positions—reclining for newborns with little head support and a more upright angle for when baby's neck muscles get stronger. This bath seat can be used for newborn babies to until they begin sitting unassisted. It offers a larger frame and supportive base than most to accommodate bigger babies and non-skid feet helps prevent the seat from skidding in the tub. The seat neatly folds for storage or travel and has a machine-washable and mildew-resistant cover for convenience. --Cristina Vaamonde

Summary: Great infant bather! 2008-07-02
Comment: We love this bather! My son HATED his first baths until we started using this after his cord fell off. Now bath time is comfortable, relaxing, and he loves lounging in the sling. I Love that it has an adjustable incline, he doesn't slip in it, it has head support for those first few months, and it folds up to be put away (a very good thing since we live in a small studio apartment.) It is also so easy to just fill up our tub and drain it when we are done. Someone mentioned that it can tip over backwards. This will only begin to happen if you start to place your child in the bather way up towards the top. Don't place your child's bottom up by the headrest and you'll be fine! I think this is a very secure and safe bather.

Summary: Great infant bather! 2008-06-14
Comment: I am very happy with this product. I feel very safe when my infant son lies in it for bathtime and he seems very comfortable in it as well. I wish there was a strap to help keep him secured in it, but I still feel it was well worth the money spent.

Summary: Best bather I bought 2008-06-10
Comment: I bought this for my second son. With my first I always used the plastic bath tub. I also bought a plastic one this time but absolutely hated it. He slipped all over the place so I had to hold him in place with on arm and do everything else with the other. I finally had enough and got a new one. This time I did my research and found this. It had amazing reviews, I just had to get it. I can put my baby in this and don't have to worry about him slipping around everywhere. Both my hands are free and it is a whole lot easier. I am also able to let my 2 year old and my 4 month old in the bath the same time using this bath seat.

Summary: Good seat, but has some flaws 2008-03-19
Comment: I've been using this to bathe my son since his cord fell off. I like that this seat has two positions, so that I could recline him while he was very small. He's now 7 months and still using it. I use this in the tub, and bathe him while keeping him warm under a continuously running hand-held shower head on him (I just don't want him sitting in dirty bathwater). Thusly I don't have any experience with this seat floating or otherwise being dangerous to a baby. There are two issues, one minor and one significant, which are getting on my nerves and I've started shopping for another seat.
Minor issue: There are only seating positions: pretty reclined, and then slightly reclined. At 7 months, he really wants to sit up, and this seat doesn't make that easy.
Significant issue: I admit, I never read the documentation that comes with stuff i buy. That said, while there may be literature on this that came in the box, I have found that this seat cover needs to be removed from the frame 2-3 times per month and soaked in Oxyclean to remove a mildew smell from the fabric. A few times I could actually find specks of mold on it. It's nasty, and it can ultimately lead to allergies. All of this despite it's claim of being mildew resistant.
Having to soak it regularly is annoying, but it's never been worse than once a week, so I live with it. This seat did work really well for my purposes - I don't like him sitting in bath water anyway. But now that he really wants to sit up in the bath, I'm looking for a new one. I would recommend it, but I am disappointed it didn't last us a little longer.

Summary: Very useful and don't listen to the negative comments. 2008-03-10
Comment: With my first son I used a reg baby bath tub. He fit in it for about 6 weeks. Then, with him in it, it only held about a cup of water. After that he went to the big tub with a spongy cushion. He didnt like laying in the water so finally, I put him in a bath tub ring which worked okay.
I said there has to be something better for my second son so I got this bath seat and loved it. I used it until he was able to sit by himself (about 6 months). He loved it too. I wanted to address some of the negative comments I have seen in other reviews. First, the bolt on the underside does rust but it is sturdier than plastic and really doesnt affect the performance of the seat (Your water has rust in it from the pipes anyway). Second, as long as you set it up securely, it will not fall down or fold up. Thirdly, I never had to put more than a few inches of water in my tub to have enough water to cover the babies legs and bottom. Also my baby never slid or slumped out of this seat.
I am expecting my third child and will definitely use this bath seat. In my opinion it is the best alternative on the market for bathing an infant.
