Advantages: safety, security, affordability

Disadvantages: boring toybar, needs cushion

I purchased the Safety 1st bath seat when my son was 4 months old. He was too long for the portable baby bath which is supposedly very safe yet so awkward to use after they are few months old. After two baths he loved it. We had to remember to take it with us on trips or he'd get so scared to get in the bath without it, even only 1" of water. This seat is awesome and safe. It is way better than others on the market and very affordable. The key to the slippery bottom is putting on your own "non slip" stickers where your child sits. Like some people put on the bottom of the tub. You can find Child "Themed" ones at Toys R Us. It kept my child from sliding around and then he could take advantage of the "swivel" action and chase floating toys around. The toy bar is useless but it's under $10.00 so I expected that. We absolutely loved this seat and we used it until my son was 16 months old, by then he was a bit big for it and I had difficulty maneuvering him in and out without rubbing his knees on the front bar. He was old enough to sit in the tub without it. I am keeping it around for the next one because it's wonderful and a "must have" for familes with babies. The toy bar can be improved but babies like sponge toys anyway floating in the tub. Remember the non slip stickers are the key to keeping a slippery baby from slipping, especially boys slamming into the front bar. :)
