Much better than the tubsJan 07, 2006
By Mom of 2
We started with the tub to seat bath complete universal bath system by first years, but it was way too small for our baby and he slid around in it so much that we switched to bathing him in the sink while we supported him. When he outgrew the sink, we needed an alternative, so we bought this bather. It's a lot like his bouncy seat, which he loves and is very comfortable in. This is much easier than supporting all of his weight with one arm and bathing him with the other while he squirms around. I didn't give it 5 stars because I think it's lacking 2 things that would make it perfect. One is a strap like in the bouncy to keep him from sliding down, though he doesn't slide too bad (not like in the tub), the other is that it needs suction cups on the bottom to hold it in place in the tub better.

 A tub seat that grows with your baby!Feb 01, 2006
By G. Kies
My 4.5 month old son has never liked the plastic bathing tubs, so right from the very beginning, he's been in the big tub with a tub seat. He loved bath time until just a few weeks ago, when he outgrew our original Especially for Baby (the BRU "house" brand) tub seat. In desperation, we searched the shelves at BRU and settled on the Mother's Touch.
I can't say enough good things about this tub seat. The head support features a soft washcloth-like insert to cushion a newborn's delicate head, and it can be repositioned or removed as the baby grows. The two-position back reclines for newborns, and sits up straighter for older babies. The entire seat is up high enough that quite a bit of water is needed in the tub, but I found that it makes it easier to control how deep my baby sits in the water (in the old tub seat, he had to be up to his ears in order to have enough water to bathe in). One of the things my son hated about his previous tub seat was that he couldn't sit up in it. The design of the Mother's Touch provides enough support to allow Baby to sit up mostly unassisted, and the ample padding makes sure he doesn't bruise himself on the hard edges. Even though there's lots of support and padding, it's still very important to closely supervise your baby when using this (or any) tub seat.
Another reviewer mentioned a couple of things things that I'd like to respond to:
*There are no suction cups on the base: I have found that the rubber grips provide more than enough traction, but tubs may vary.
*She would like a strap: the seat that I have does have a strap (it's stored underneath the seat, so may not be immediately identifiable), so I wonder if the seat has been redesigned recently.
Overall, my son and I are very happy with this tub seat, and I've been recommending it to friends. They'll have to buy it new instead of getting it as a hand-me-down, though. I foresee him being able to use it for most of his first year before he outgrows it!

 Unsafe productMar 29, 2006
By R. Hubbell
I had tried this for my newborn and I think this product is unsafe and not sturdy. The base of the seat is very wobbley, it would help to have suction cups on the bottom. And you do have to fill your tub about half way in order for your child to stay warm. Also, when I put my baby in the seat and he is 12 lbs, the seat tipped backwards. I can imagine that it would be worse when my child is heaviear and moves around more. I do not think this product is safe. It would make a great product if they included a baby tub with it. So I returned the product and ended up with the 4-in-1 bath station from Safety First that worked well with my first child.

love itMar 24, 2006
By Aparna
I like this product very much. It is very soft, unlike the other tubs where I was scared that my son would hit his head. The only drawback I have about is the belt....maybe in the next one they can come up with a good belt that would hold the infant. Other than that I would recommend it to anyone. It looks very comfortable too. Especially if you have taller babies this is the best bathing system.

 Good but not greatOct 05, 2006
By D. Howell
"DH"
My baby boy has been using this seat since he was 4 weeks old. The good: It is soft, cushions baby, water rinses out, baby can lay or semi-sit. The bad: you have to fill the tub very high for baby to stay warm, sometimes the latch slips out of its lock and seat falls back, the bottom slides on the tub, and there is a metal screw and washer that rust very badly (this should have been a plastic peice.)
