aquababy bath ring. is it worth it??? what should i use when DS outgrows the baby tub?

so with DS crawling now (he's not even 7 months!) he's starting to stand up in his infant tub.

i think i will have to take him out of it soon so i bought the aquababy bath ring. anyone have it? is it worth it?

I used the Safety 1st Tubside Bath Seat
with my girls starting at 4 months old. My girls were pulling up by 6 1/2 months and I never had a problem with them in the tub when I used this seat.

i was debating it, but I decided against it....

I just bought her the elmo bath mat, and put her right in the tub.... She LOVES it!

I put dd in the regular tub with a non-slip mat at 6 months, much easier than those tub seats, imho

I bought this when DS turned just about 7 months for the same reason. he was trying to stand up in his infant tub.

I have to say I don't love it.

It is impossible to get their privates because they are sitting straight up and there is no room to manuever your hands under the tush.

DS can't really play with his bath toys because he can't reach down far enough past the top ring part.

He wriggles in it and gets very awkwardly positioned.

I feel like there is not enough water covering DS to keep him warm.

I'm getting one of those big inflatable tubs that you put in your regular bathtub and I'm going to see how that works out.

We used one from about 7 or 8 months until 18 months. And she is a squirmer. She stayed put in there and it gave me a lot of peace of mind.

thanks for the replies!

silly questions--but i assume you need to blow up the blow up tub every day? isn't that a pain?

the only thing i worry about is that even though he's starting to crawl and is mobile, he still falls over when he sits once in a while. of course we'd be watching him, but i was thinking that the bath ring would "catch" him, whereas if there's nothing, he would fall in the water if we're not fast enough.

I have this and love it. I just prop her to stand and hold her over my arm at the end of the bath to get to the privates.

Bath time used to be the worst for me until I got the bath seat.

We just started putting DS in the big bathtub. He is really stable at sitting up, and loves being "free".

we never had one. we just used the sink in between the baby tub and the big tub.

I got the inflatable tub from One Step Ahead - so far so good!

I am prob in a minority, but when Johnny outgrew things we didnt really ever replace them with stuff. We just got a good bath mat so he couldn't slide around and its been great this whole time. He sits and plays with the bathtoys and we have no problems. But that bath ring looks fun! Let me know how you like it!
