Good bather!

I got this bather as a gift and it did not disappoint!! My baby loves bath time and is now trying to sit on her own- with this bather, baby is not fussy at all. Will recommend to other moms

Good

Overall, I like this Deluxe bather!

------------------------
Design
------------------------

This is a pretty large-sized bather with a cute whale pattern design. Most of the pieces are plastic, with a metal frame that 'clips' into the different sections to put it together.

The large plastic feet help keep it weighted down, but I do wish they'd added some rubber bottoms to keep it from moving around. It doesn't slip or move when baby is in it, but when it's empty, it can easily slip around a wet tub, so if a future design is released, I'd like to see some non-slip bottoms added.

It's lightweight and will be easy for somebody elderly (is granny watching the kids?) to lift and move around, but make sure it's setup already as arthritic hands might not be able to put it together easily.

I really like the mesh design of the fabric as water can go through it and it dries fairly quickly for this reason.

------------------------------
Setup and Ease of Use
------------------------------

Setup is pretty simple, the booklet guides you through it, but one thing I will say is that it's a little stiff clipping and unclipping the footrest and angling the headrest at first. I worry that over time the plastic will crack as it already shows signs of strain where I struggled to take it apart and put it together (if you don't do it correctly you can easily lean on the plastic 'tabs' and start to bend them).

It's definitely too difficult for those with disabilities or arthritis to assemble this, they will need help.

Features
------------------------
2 Angles - Because the fabric is so tight and doesn't 'dip' much when baby is in the chair, I prefer to use the lower angle where it leans back farther, but having two options is never a bad thing.

Padded Head support - Comfortable and soft, especially good for bigger babies (though pay attention to the safety instructions for age and weight.)

Folds compact for storage and travel - Folding isn't the easiest, but I think it will become less 'stiff' over time and once you know how to do it, it doesn't take more than a minute. Very handy, for those with limited space.

Machine washable fabric - Being able to remove and wash the fabric is a big feature for me, Often the water and bathing can cause baby to go and well...then you really want the option to wash it.

Summary
------------------------
Things they got right:

- Foldable
- 2 Angles of Incline
- Padded headrest
- Mesh fabric is easy to dry and put water through.
- Removeable fabric can be washed, meaning if baby pees on it you can clean it in the washing machine.
- Super cute design
- Lightweight

Things that won't suit everybody:
- When empty tends to slip around (when trying to change angles or assemble) and would benefit from non-slip bottom.
- Can be stiff to assemble or disassemble at first, plastic takes a lot of strain and might eventually break.
