Advantages: easy to use and clean

Disadvantages: seat is harder to store when not in use

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 if you have an older child they can sit at the other end of it, making it safe for both. The mat also has ducks on it and is nicely presented. To make this the perfect bath support, one of the ducks is heat sensitive so if water is too hot it tells you.
I think this is a brilliant concept and it lasted us 8 months until my daughter just didn't want to sit down anymore. Its not the cheapest, cost me over £20 but you can't put a price on safety of your child.

Summary: would buy it again
