This chair goes seamlessly from your living room to the bath with adaptive, suction cup feet and is a great way to take combine two products into one, taking up less space in your home. We love the look and the safety it provides, though curiously it's aimed at kids 18-36 months.
This bath seat from More Design was produced for the safety-minded folk over at OK Baby. It's aimed at older children who might need a little more security in the bath or those who face disabilities. The chair is able to be adhered to the bottom of your tub or shower, making sure the seat sits still (and thusly your child), even if you have one hand on the shampoo and the other on the side of the tub. It's currently available in purple, white and blue for $32USD, even though it's not currently available in the US.
It resembles the small in size Bumbo without the smaller leg holes and a deeper more open seat to accommodate larger children. Its molded construction not only keeps your little one sitting, but dries easily. Once out of the bath, the water runs off and won't require anything more than a quick shake to dry off.
Does this seem like a product that would be needed in your home? Would you like to see it come state-side or does it seem silly for your household? Let us know below!

She's HUGE to have to bathe in one of those.
I would think you could just put her in a regular tub at this point in her life.
i definitely see this as a great product for those with disabled kids.. otherwise, not so much.
This might be useful for children with special needs, but for the average child this is completely pointless. As soon as my daughter was sitting up and crawling on her own, I was able to sit her in the tub without any support while I washed her.
I would buy this in a minute for my son. He is horribly scare of bath time, and now that he doesn't fit in him baby tub anymore it is hard to bathe him. I think that a product like this for toddlers in the tub would be wonderful.
Its not something I would buy or need. Like you said it would mainly be used for a disabled child. I really didn't see the point untill I read that.
i can't say that i'd use it in the tub. but, it might be nice to have a safe chair that suctions to the hardwood floors. (my toddlers are into climbing (and fallling) these days.)
I agree that it looks to be aimed at children with special needs. Otherwise, I think it's completely pointless and no way, no how would my 19 month old or my 3 year old sit in that thing.
For handicapped kids, sure, but otherwise, no. Part of the fun of big tub time is bouyancy and 'swimming.' For slips you can easily sink a towel to the bottom of the tub or put tub stickers or use a bathmat.
My daughter smacked her head on the tub and knocked her two front teeth out just before she turned three. I was trying to get her to sit down and quit rough housing. It was too late by the time she slipped and the next day was in a dentist's chair getting them pulled.
If it had a harness or a belt or something to make sure kids couldn't play around. Then I'd consider it.
I don't know about the chair, but I just want that Mom to add more water to the bath! :) The kid looks COOOOLD!
The chair seems to mandate more water (unless you're only washing ankles). For the average toddler, it seems like overkill.
My daughter went from sitting in a big baby tub to standing for a shower once she was a stable walker/stander. She's not disabled, but she did not start walking until she was 16 months. I guess I don't get the appeal of baths- to me it seems kind of gross to sit in the dirt that washed off one's body. Showers are fast and still fun for the little one- we just use the hand-held shower to aim the water to the right areas. So, I don't see the point of this chair for the average 18-36 month old.
Not at our house! I can totally see the suggestions of a special needs child.
Well considering decades of children managed just fine without them, I'm going to say nay.
My two still bathe with me. Saves water.
I could see how it may be useful... some tubs are slippery!!
it looks awkward
my daughter has special needs and this seat wouldn't even work for her. for most kids with special needs to sit securely in the tub, they would need more back support and some sort of safety harness to keep from sliding off the slippery plastic. currently, i just lay my daughter on a towel in the tub with a bolster bath pillow under her head and that works perfect. then she can feel the water and kick/splash if she wants. more fun for her and a lot cheaper than $32!
Completely off-topic here, and I PROMISE I'm not being facetious. It's just that I keep seeing this crop up: is THUSLY really a word? Anyone?
OKay, I'm sure everyone else already knew.

My children would use this to stand in the bath and reach things on the windowsill, or maybe jump off. It wouldn't work in our house, but each to their own.
Most kids will grow out of the bath time fear before this thing gets shipped to your house. :P Even for a special needs child, as nickyv proved, it's a bit much. It's overbearing and sucks all the fun out of bath time. Just look at all the bath toys this kid isn't playing with because she can barely reach the water. And she does look cold.
I have a daughter with Cerebral Palsy and just today I was researching bath seats; however, I don't think this would work for her for the reasons nickyv mentioned above.
NickyV, I just read that your child has special needs. I'd like to tell you about a neat chair made by the makers of Bumbo but for bigger kids called the ChildRite Seat. It's made especially for bigger kids without a lot of trunk control (like mine). If you'd like more info, contact me at: mom2maddy2000@yahoo.com. By the way, it's not a bath seat.
