Bath seats - yay or nay?

[egishere]

I want to get these but am having a hard time pulling the trigger. The babies are all too big for the infant tub but can't sit up yet so we still bathe them one at a time in a Bumbo that we sit down in the infant tub. It works okay but I want to bathe them together. This is the one I was looking at www.walmart.com/ip/Dream-Baby-Deluxe-Bath-Seat/13213087

We just lay him down in the big tub and let him push himself around. He loved it.

We used one for months with DD so that she could take a bath with DS. It worked great - it made me less nervous that he might accidentally knock her over.

I had one of these, but I bought it used. I recommend it. It made things like actually bathing them and washing hair much easier since I could use 2 hands.

In your case I'd definitely pull the trigger. Maybe you can find some gently used on Craigslist.

I just took mine out today for DD2 and forgot how much I love it. My girls got to play together in the tub and they both loved it. And it makes it so much easier to wash her hair.

In your case, I'd probably bite the bullet and get them. When we were at that stage, I was too cheap to get the seats, so we got the inflatable duck tub which kept them contained pretty well, but with three that wouldn't work.

You may need the seats for extra support and anything that makes life a bit easier is worth it. When my twins were little, I put a clothes hamper in the tub for them to sit in. The water flowed through the sides, enough was in the basket to play with and their weight kept it from tipping. Im not sure three could fit all at once.

Thanks everyone! You have convinced me to go ahead and make my life easier and get them

I skimmed this board and saw "bath salts - yay or nay?"

NAY!!!

[egishere]

Haha MamaMaui! I think the babies have already been partaking in the bath salts because they try to eat each others faces everyday!!

This. They're really only considered "bad" b/c some stupid people thought they could leave their kids alone in the tub in them. Kind of like the people that put bumbos up on high surfaces.

We didn't need one for DS1 - we used the Eurobath in our bathtub until he was about 2.5... to save water, and it helped him stay put - that thing is huge and fit him all that time!

When the twins were about 7mo we got them those dream baby seats - so we could give all 3 a bath together. We used those seats until 2.5yo - our boys WANTED to sit in them- they felt safe - I guess they were afraid of slipping under the water.
