Advantages: lightweight, sturdy, quick drying, wipe clean

Disadvantages: could be a little bigger

Before I bought this, I read lots of reviews of baby bath supports. Some of the reviews said the more luxurious looking, fabric ones had a tendency to go mouldy if they weren't dried quickly enough, which is something that hadn't even crossed my mind when I set out to buy one. So I chose this one because it is plastic; it dries quickly and can be wiped clean when necessary. It is pretty sturdy and has small suckers underneath to attach it to your bath. It also has a guide to show you how deep the water should be.

As a new mum I was a little nervous about bathing my baby in case he slipped or wriggled out of my grasp, but this seat meant that wasn't a problem. Your baby is supported by the seat, helping him to feel more secure in the water and allowing you to have both hands free to wash him. Initially I was worried it didn't look that comfortable, but my son seemed to enjoy using it.

It is meant to be used from birth until your baby weighs 8kg, but I found it got too tight around the ribs for my son before he reached the maximum weight so we had to stop using it before he could sit unaided which was a real shame, but I found it really useful when he was small. I shall certainly keep hold of it for baby number 2!

Summary: Supports your baby and frees up your hand. Great if you are nervous about bathing your newborn.
