Leachco Safer Bather Reviews

When searching for a baby bath-tub, I looked at every option available on the market. I wanted to find something that was comfortable for the baby, but more importantly, something that was comfortable for me. (first time parents definitely shy away from the bathing experience!)

Consider the age
During the first 6 months, when your child's trunk has not yet developed, you really need a bath that they can lay flat in. There are a couple of plastic versions out there, but I found them to be cold and hard to use in my bath tub. So, I turned my attention toward the softer, warmer surfaces. Then, I stumbled...

The Safer Bather is a great product!  We did not have room to store a normal-sized baby bathtub when our first child was born, so we opted for the Safer Bather.  We bought a regular baby tub for our second child, but I used it only a few times since I liked the Safer Bather so much better!  It works well on a countertop for those early sponge baths since it absorbs any dripped water, but it is great in the tub!  The sponge soaks up the warm water so that the baby stays warm and it is very comfortable.  It is a lot more difficult for the baby to slide off of it and makes bathtime a lot easier...

I bought this on the advice of a mother of twins who raved about it.  I think it was because she was just trying to get rid of hers since it did not look like it had been used much.  It took forever to dry and developed a moldy smell that would not go away.  My twins panicked when they were placed on it and it did not hold up very well in the water.
