Mothercare Aqua Pod

We got the aqua pod for our son when he turned 6 months and was getting too big for his baby bath. It is a pricey item at £25 but I figured if it was good we'd be using it every day for a long time so we'd get our money's worth. The 'pod' secures firmly to the bath and the seat supports the baby well but still allows the parent to get to them quite easily through the gaps in the side to clean them. The mat is very padded and comfy and also covers the baby seat so is much more comfortable than hard plastic. Our son is 13 months now and still sits in the seat, as he'd probably be trying to run up and down the bath otherwise! It can be used just as ...  Read the complete review

Our son has loved bath time since he was very little. We had always used an ergonomically shaped bath support and found he loved the freedom it gave him to splash about and meant our hands were free to wash him in between splashing! When he started to try sitting up in it we knew it was time to look around for something else. We thought about just sitting him in the bath with us supporting him, but he is a very wriggly baby so would slip about and we were worried about him slipping under the water. It would also mean our hands were no longer free to wash or play. We then looked at a swivel style seat, but a few of my friends were already having problems getting ...  Read the complete review

With a very wriggly six month old, bathtime was always a job for both myself and my husband. If one of us was out then he didn't get bathed. We looked around for seats, supports etc but didn't really find anything that suited us, until I spotted this. We ordered it online from mothercare.com and it arrived quickly. It is made up of a long non slip bath bath which i would say covers most of the bath bottom keeping babies and children far enough away from the taps and the plug! who chose the blue one with duck patterns on although I think that it also comes in pink, possibly with flowers on? I didn't really look at this option as I don't think that my husband ...  Read the complete review

My daughter loves the bath and spends ages in there. Once she was sitting up at 7 months we knew we needed something to keep her safe from falling over and found the Aqua Pod. It is a blue rubber mat with lots of suckers on the bottom. Into this you insert a hard plastic seat that has a back support and front handle bar. This also has suckers on the bottom for extra security. The shape of the seat makes it very difficult for your baby to get out of it or come out of the sides. A couple of times by baby lost her balance and bumped her head but compared to a baby that is free to move around the whole bath I think this is safe. The rubber mat is nice and long so ...  Read the complete review
