Bath seats are a great way of improving the bathtime experience for both parents and baby, making it safer and more fun!
These great inventions keep your baby secure, leaving you with more hands to wash her and play with bath toys. The NHS recommends using baby bath seats as they can help prevent accidents, babies can be very slippery in the bath.
These waterproof seats are simply a plastic seat supporting your baby in the bath while you wash him or her. They can be easily placed in and out of the bath and are easily cleaned. Baby bath seats are ideal for newborn babies who can’t sit up yet, until about six months old; after that a separate baby bath might be a better option but some of these baths are designed to last until baby is a bit older. Most have suction cups on the bottom for extra safety, a necessity with wriggly older babies! There are various types of bath seat and support, generally a bath seat is better for older babies who can sit up with confidence whereas a reclining bath support is great for newborns.
