Bath seats

So I was given the angel care baby one that’s like the next stage when they’re sitting up but I hate it. Struggled so much getting her legs in and out and washing her! I’ve gone back to using the newborn which she’s too big for but it’s easier. Not sure what to do next

I got the angelcare one for £8 from vinted. I think the only reason I've found it easy to get her in and out of it is because she's able to stand for like 3 seconds.

We use a bathtub and use 2 of us to bath her one person holding and other shampooing. But she does hold the sides of the bath tub now and trying to sit independently so should be a one person job soon hopefully.

@Abi yeah they look horrendous and I was so disappointed because we’ve had the newborn seat and it’s been great, my baby boy is a wriggler anyway and I just feel like I’m going to have an accident getting him in and out of it

I have one but don't get on with it. She sits unsupported so I just put her in the tub 🤷

@Mia Brend yeah exactly the same as us. She sits up well and it would be easier to just put her in the bath without a seat at this point but too risky

The snuggle bath is amazing!xx

@Abi I am exactly the same! My little boys legs went all read in the angel care seat and his willy looked all squished 😭

@Rachel I want to do that but I’m using an emollient for his eczema and it’s so oily and slippy 😭.

@Rhiannon oh yeah, I had that for my toddler when she was little, turns them into slippery little eels 🤣

I've been told you can turn the angel care seat over when they can sit up so will definitely be trying that soon. I tried a few weeks ago but he was still a bit wobbly! He now arches his back in the seat so he slips out of it 🙈

We’ve had to get rid of both bath seats we had as my boy is just leaping out of them. So we do a version of tummy time in a very shallow bath now.

@Laura we have the same one. Can be slightly difficult getting him in and out, as he's super chunky, (99th centile for height and weight) but no different to a high chair!

I’m still using the newborn bath seatcwven though my sons technically too heavy. I’m going to get a non slip bath mat and just put him straight in our bath soon - just with less water. He can sit for ages so hopefully that’ll suit him. He’s 98th percentile so also too heavy for the next seat up. He loves to lay in shallow water to splash like a mad thing so I reckon he will be fine.

@Fizzy that’s genius why didn’t I think of that lol

I was turning the angel newborn upside down but now she just sits by herself. I got some grip spots which stop her slipping

We have the sit up angel care seat but I really don’t like it! I find it so hard to clean her in it and feel like I’m not properly getting her clean. The other day I ran her a shallow bath and just lay her down/sat her up in it and it was so much easier! X

I've got the same seat as Laura as my little boy was just climbing out of the angel seat x

@Emma-may I've this bath too and love it
