Had better results with the Safer Baby Bather with my first child. Will buy that one again if we choose to have more children.

I thought this would be a nice helpful product, and in the beginning it was. We did not immerse into water, and I use it to bathe my now 4 month old. But, now it will not dry. I do hang the bather, and the water settles to the bottom. There is mold growing inside of the bather where the foam is and it's just disgusting. I think this is a nice idea, but needs some tweaking.

This bath seat takes so long to dry it stinks. Yes you can wash it, but you would have to wash it after each use. I hate the smell of something that dried in the washer, yuk! I got the seat without the cushion surround. It's great like this one, but doesn't smell

We bought a regular plastic bathtub (Primo) - the kind that is supposed to keep baby from sliding to the sides. It was WAYYYY too big for our baby when she was first born. We could not use it until recently, when she turned about 2 months or so (and it's still a tiny bit too big for her to fit comfortably).

ANYWAY....this thing was a lifesaver! She seemed so secure and comfortable in it and it made bathtime so much more relaxing. I absolutely loved it.

The biggest con: cleaning. It clearly states on the label: do not immerse in water. Mainly, I believe this was meant for sponge-bathing babies, not to give baby a real bath on this thing (pouring water over baby). The water does indeed stay trapped inside, but it also says on the label that you need to basically squeeze out any excess water and then hang. We never had a problem with it drying in between uses. The problem we did have, however, was the smelly part. I chose to bathe baby normally on this thing...even knowing that it'd be harder to clean. After each bath, we would just keep pouring clean water over it and then fold it in half inside out so that the part where baby lays is on the outside. Then, we'd wring it out so that the water would mostly come out.

It did smell somewhat, but it was only after about 2 months of use that it began to smell pretty bad.

I threw it out. But I think that for the price, 2 months of use is pretty good, considering we bathed baby every day since she was about 3 weeks old.

Overall, I will buy this again when we have another child and I would recommend this to anyone, but I would let them know that cleaning it is a major issue and it'll probably have to be thrown out after a few weeks.

I only wish we has known about this when our baby was born. I dreaded giving her a bath that first month, but then I discovered this bath pillow and we were all happy and more at ease.

This is the best bath tub accessory out there in our opinion. I would never bother with one of those big plastic ones after this. It is so flexible, versatile and lightweight. It is NOT bulky and can travel well. Most importantly it holds the child well with the smart design and comfortable padding. You can use it to bathe your baby near the sink, in the bathtub or just about anywhere. We also use it in the bathtub as an adult pillow for our own baths. We love it! Once again great job One Step!

I used this product less than 3 months and it molded over! It doesn't drain properly. The water settles in the bottom when you hang it to dry and it never drains! Although it was comfortable for baby, I had to throw it out merely weeks after purchasing it!

Comments about Summer Infant Comfort Bath Support:

Used about 2 weeks. product never dried between uses. Unable to clean foam inside product and it began to smell so bad we had to throw it away. I wish I had my money back!

Comments about Summer Infant Comfort Bath Support:

Bath is part of our bedtime routine and after about 4 weeks I noticed a strong odor coming from bath support. impossible to dry in 24 hours. cleaning instructions indicate wipe with soft cloth and mild detergent but this doesn't address the mildew growing on inside. Bottom line...this is a terrible stinky product. Wish I had my money back.

Comments about Summer Infant Comfort Bath Support:

I got this because I could not get my son's ears wet for 6 weeks and needed a way to bathe the rest of his body while keeping his head out of the water. The kickstand did accomplish this, but that was the only good thing about using this bath mat. The problem with it was that it left him really cold. The mat floats, and at 10 lbs, my baby's body weight was not enough to keep it in the water, so instead of soaking in the water where he would be warm, he was left floating on top of it. The fabric it uses also gets cold to the touch when it is wet, so that made him even more cold. I ended up draping a towel over the fabric to keep it warm and stopped using it as soon as I could submerge his ears again... back to my other cloth bath mat that is much better.

I do not recommend this bath cushion. It is filled with foam so that it is bulky and doesn't let any water up around the baby. Also, it absorbs so much water in the bottom that it is nearly impossible to dry out.

Comments about Summer Infant Comfort Bath Support:

I got this product because my four month old was uncomfortable after we removed the hammock from the plastic bathtub I had used since she was born. The bath support arrived with a bent kickstand, but I had my husband bend it back into place so that it could be used. I think this product is pretty good, although when I sit my daughter up to wash her hair, it slides across the bathtub. Maybe some rubber stoppers on the bottom would be helpful. It seems comfortable and dries out well, although it holds quite a bit of water when in use. She seems to like it better than the plastic one.

For my first baby, I bought and used a similar product and loved it. It was foam or cotton filled and took a long time to dry. After about 5 or 6 mo, it started to smell moldy but I still liked it. I bought this mat for my second child and it is so much better. It is filled with little beads that are comfortable for the baby and allow it to dry so much faster.

I have twins and needed a travel tub that was compact. I ordered this and started using it at home because we loved it so much. It stays warm during the bath, is much more comfortable then a traditional plastic tub, dries very quickly and is lightweight. The girls seem very comfortable on it, and love taking baths. I especially love it folds and stores easily as storing the big plastic tub was a challenge in our small bathroom. The only thing I do not like is it does not have sides. If you have a real wiggle worm you will need to be careful as there is no harness or strap, but this craddles them and truly you should never have your hands off your infant in the bath anyway! Great buy.
