 Great for 2 months, breaks easily, more plastic for the landfill March 6, 2010

We did enjoy this for the time we had it. It allowed our baby to sit in the tub unsupported (by us) and play while we sat there with her. It kept her contained a bit which allowed our baby and two year old to bathe together peacefully. However it broke after about 2 months. Some of the important connection points consist of this cheap plastic. After rigging the seat to work while broken, soon another part broke and we have to throw this away. It would have been nice to pass on to other mothers to get more life out this product, delaying it's trip to the landfill. It hurts to throw all of this plastic away but I guess it was eventually going there. We think there must be a better option that's more responsible for the environment. We do get caught up in getting baby gear and this is something we could definitely do without. For 2 months - just hold your baby in the bath - they will quickly outgrow the need and can sit on their own - even with the 2 year old in there too!
 A lot of the complaints are silly February 26, 2010

Before I purchased this seat, I read-over all the reviews. Upon receiving the seat, I messed around with it quite a bit to "test" the most common complaints. There are a few funny quirks with it, but I think a majority of the complaints are due to improper use or unrealistic expectations. This seat is the best bath seat on the market; the only legitimate "issues" it has are issues that would be shared with most any bath seat because of the general nature of restraining a floating child. I'm going to addess the most common complaints based on my experience.
1. The seat can float and it moves or doesn't stick: Well, sort of. If you stick the seat to the tub and then fill the tub with water, it traps air under the seat, which can break the force of the suction cups and make the seat float. However, if you partially fill the tub before putting the seat in, you trap much less air underneath and it sticks just fine. Once the air is out, the seat barely moves at all. If you push firmly on the seat, you can get it to slide a little, but that's kind of how suction cups operate when they are wet. I don't think the movement is worth the worry; my 2-yr old braced himself on the seat to stand up and it didn't move.
2. The plastic is hard and cuts into the skin, leaving marks: There are no sharp edges on this seat and it doesn't really dig into the skin. The one issue I did see is that the leg openings in the t-bar are small and designed to securely hold the lower thigh or knee. If the baby is sitting all the way back in the seat, with his back pressed against the back-rest portion, this is not an issue. BUT, as anyone with an infant can attest, a baby's bottom wants to float/slide forward. My son ended up with his chunky thighs squeezed in there because he wouldn't sit back in the seat. It was tight fit, as my son is 20lbs, and he did end up with red marks on his legs. This bothered me, however, he could have cared less. He was so happy "free-sitting" in the water that he didn't seem to notice the tight fit. Also, I think it's important to realize that the seat is a restraint designed to keep a very buoyant baby from floating or tipping over. Please tell me what seat restraint wouldn't leave some red marks? Or what design would prevent the baby from sliding forward?
3. The suction cups break off: This is the most ridiculous complaint that I read. First of all, the cups are SCREWED to the bottom of the seat. Like, with metal screws. I'm sure if you just grabbed the seat and ripped it out of the tub, you *might* be able to tear the suction cups off. However, I think we all know you aren't supposed to remove suction cups that way. The seat has four large cups, each with an easily-accessable release strip. If you pull on each strip, the suction cups pop right off.
4. The T-bar locks are difficult to operate: Freshly out of the box, these latches are incredibly difficult to slide. I was anticipating a huge struggle when it came time to get my son out of the tub. However, I discovered the that latches slide so much easier once they are wet. It's still slightly awkward to unlatch because of the angle, but not impossible or overly aggravating. And, honestly, I would rather have the latches be a little tight then have them pop open on their own.
Bottom line: This seat makes bath time soooo much easier and is well worth the purchase (BTW, I got it for $15 less at Wal-Mart). Four stars only because the locks are a little annoying.
don't buy February 24, 2010

this is my first time writing a review but i'm just so annoyed at this purchase and i couldn't believe it got so many good reviews! we bought this bath seat less than 2 weeks ago and it's already broken. the first thing i noticed was that (as other reviewers pointed out) the suction cups don't stick very well. that is, unless you're trying to take the bath seat *out* of the bath once it's empty, then they won't come off! but with water in the bath, the suction cups pop off very easily. that alone wouldn't have been such a problem, but within a week of using the bath seat, one of the clasps that hold the t-bar in place popped off, leaving one side loose. a couple of days later, as my baby reached for her toy, the other side popped off! thank goodness i was right there with her, as all parents should be, obviously, but the seat is now totally unsafe and unusable. this seat should be taken off the market until they can make it more reliable. it has obviously been put together cheaply with poor quality control...it didn't take much for it to fall apart. please, don't waste your money or time on this product!

I returned it to Amazon after I opened it. I bought this because my son is too big for the baby baths, but small enough that I didn't want him sitting in a tub without any support.
I bought this because I liked that the T-shaped part that goes in between their legs opens and snaps into place when the baby it in it for easy in/out. However, it's extremely hard to snap open, you definitely need two hands to snap just one side and there's a snap on both sides of the t-shaped part. Even with this thing in my lap, completely dry, it was too hard to open, I couldn't imagine how hard it would be in water with a squirmy baby in it.
This chair claims to fold for easy storage...uh, it only decreases the total height by 1", if that. That is very misleading. It's more of a pain to unlatch that part to fold it than to just leave it as is.
Lastly, the back of the chair has hardly any opening to get in there and wash a baby's bottom. You would need to lift them out of the chair to clean that.
Overall, I would not recommend this seat at all.
 Awesome February 1, 2010

We love this product, it allows our little one to play in the tub without sliding around and it gives him the little extra support he needs.
