This sturdy bath support holds active babies in place so moms don't have to. Ideal for little ones who are ready to make a splash in a full sized tub.

Pros

Extendable arms with heavy-duty suction cups securely attach to any standard bathtub. High backrest provides good support for babies who are learning to sit. Allows tots to safely bathe with siblings. Affords parents hands-free bath time convenience. Easy to use.

Bottom Line

The plush petals on these adorable flowers add a touch of luxury to bathing in the sink. Convenient for moms and oh so comfortable for babies.

Pros

Soft, padded petals cradle babies on a cloud of comfort so carers can focus more on actually washing tots than holding them. Petals can be arranged in just about any sink to support even smaller babies. Provides tactile experience. Washer and dryer safe on delicate cycle.

Cons

It absorbs a lot of water and wringing it out after bath time can be a hassle.

Bottom Line

With an elevated headrest and soft padding, this affordable bath pad keeps little ones safe and comfortable in full-sized bathtubs, right from the start.

Pros

Headrest is raised to keep water away from the ears. Well-padded and comfortable. Contoured design cradles babies for hands-free use. Earns praise for its ability to reduce bath time stress. Some parents report success using it for sink bathing. Machine washable.

Cons

Becomes heavy when soaked and needs a sturdy place to hang for drying.

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a structured upright bath support for a smaller baby, this is a solid choice. However, babies might outgrow it sooner than other supports.

Pros

Raised backrest allows even smaller babies to sit up and take in the sights while bathing. Soft mesh is comfortable and allows soapy water to drain. Dries quickly and easy to store between use. Some parents find it useful as an everyday seating solution for little ones.

Cons

Once they become more active, little ones could roll out or tip forward.

Bottom Line

Well padded and supremely comfortable, this multipurpose bath pad works just as well as a lounger as it does in the bath.

Pros

Contoured shape and elevated headrest is ideal for bathing and relaxing. Can be placed directly in the bathtub or a large sink. Interior is made of food-grade microbeads for faster drying. Smooth polyester shell is comfortable and easy to clean. Washing machine and dryer safe.

Cons

Somewhat small. Doesn’t absorb enough water for it to become firmly anchored to the tub.

A baby bath support allows you to comfortably use either a sink or a regular tub to get your baby clean. A good support helps keep your baby safe and secure from slipping while you do the cleaning. Some supports are made from cloth materials, which are comfortable, but require some time to dry. Look for one with the convenience of a hook for hanging to help drying. Other supports are made from plastic. These are easy to dry with a towel, but not generally as comfortable or even as secure for baby. For a baby who is ready to take to a regular tub but is still a little unsteady, a sit-up baby bath support allows him to play and splash safely without danger of slipping under the water.
