I am looking for a bath chair for my 8 month old... do you think this would work as a bath chair? Will it stay under water, 6 inches of water?

Honestly I have no idea if it would work as a bath chair. Overall its kind of light in weight so it may be hard to stay under. Plus not sure of the material is suitable for water use. Hope that helps.

I think it would work. I haven't tried it though. My granddaughter is just 5 months. We love the chair!

To be honest I had never thought to use it as such, and I am very cautious so since that is not the intended purpose for the chair I would have to say I do not recommend it.

Using my trusted 18" ruler, it appears to me that when including the width of the rubber grommet that the legs fit into, the width is exactly 18". Therefore also taking the shape of the tub into consideration and that they are usually not flat but curved at their base I would agree that the chair would not fit safely into the tub and therefore would not purchase this item. If you had another half inch I would still be uncomfortable about the fit. I recommend NOT buying this item.

I really liked the product and it works very well. You can technically fit a toddler in the tub but it becomes tough to actually give them a bath without getting water everywhere after they are beyond 15-18 lbs or so, especially if your child likes to play and splash in water.

No, it did not work very well in a bath tub. There are other baby tubs that work a lot better

I would not use it in the bath. Perhaps a small inflatable air-filled pool toy would be more appropriate.

It isn't designed as a bath toy. It is made as a single molded unit so it probably would be safe in water. The paint might not last though.

how did it work on your 18 month old? Mine is 16, 25lbs. was wondering if it would work. He's always in the water and loves water....

It does NOT keep the child afloat. It is specifically designed to help the child be more buoyant and develop comfort with the water.

We got it at the end of the swimming season last year and just opened our pool a week ago so we have not used it as of yet. From owning a similar chair, I assume your bottom will get wet. Will let you know for sure in a couple weeks.

My father has the same issue and he enjoys his shower chair. Sits low and seat it pretty wide to assist with comfort and balance. In my opinion it will do just fine. Hope you find it to be the same.

Yes, that is exactly what it is for. The person needs to be able to slide along the seat; there are other seats on "rails" if this isn't possible. Also be sure that there is enough clearance to properly place the legs outside the tub. We couldn't use ours because the tub curved a lot at the bottom sides -- the chair would only sit halfway in the tub, and then there wasn't sufficient clearance between tub and toilet. Now it is a ding table chair! Good luck to you with this.

Once my baby sat up she couldn't use this seat. Sitting in the bath alone was slippery. And dangerous! I bought a disney blow up bath tub. It's $11 on here. It's for traveling but it fits perfect in the tub. My baby can sit and move around in it and I don't have to worry about her slipping and hitting her head.

INTENDED to go in water? Probably not. But I don't think water would HURT it, either. The tail is cloth, it would get wet. But my kiddo would play with it in the bath.

My son is nine months old now and is sitting up and splashing in this tub. He doesn't seem uncomfortable despite the position of his legs (they are so flexible as babies). My main concern at this point is now that he is sitting up in the tub, he is able to grab the faucet handle and possibly change the temperature of the water before I grab his little hands. I think once they are able to sit up, they need to be in the "big" tub.

This is a great tub for a highly active baby. I got it when my daughter was 3 months old, and she too loves to splash around a lot. My daughter is not 9 months old and has transitioned to the other side that allows her to sit up, and I think she loves the tub even more now!!

The height of the seat back is 29" from the bottom of the bath. The height that the seat part lifts up my seating is approx 3". You will need a pretty deep bathtub to get full immersion. The chair works well with good reliability.

You should look for a smaller version. This is a fairly large chair. I have to turn it sideways to store and one side has to stay outside the tub! It is a great chair but large!
