Advantages: good way to get used to water, safe way to bath

Disadvantages: hard plastic, toy useless, suckers not strong enough

We purchased this seat when our baby was 4 months as he was trying to wiggle out of the baby bath and although had a lie on flotation mat for him felt that with a wriggler like him we needed something more substantial.

Our boy took to it straight away but does get frustrated as he tries to climb out of it to get into the water. Bit of a water baby our child. So a compromise was to fill the bath above the safety line on the seat so he can play and splash properly. I would not recommend everyone to do this but with careful monitoring it was the only way to stop him from climbing out.

I agree that the toy is pointless he shows no interest at all being more intetested in catchign the bubbles in the bath.

Suckers are good but make sure bath is clean as we use oils at times and the suction pads tend not to stick to this. When Callum gets excited he too can get the seat to move about. We have swivled the seat once but it can loosen the grip of the suckers when doing this and this scares me a bit. We find the plastic quite hard and there have been times when it has left red rub marks on legs, back and waist. Also getting Callum into the seat can be tricky as he puts his legs every where.

On the whole not a bad product it is useful and is a good way to get children who are frightened of water used to it in a safe way that they learn will not submerge them.
