Description of Summer Infant Mother's Touch Large Comfort Bather
The Mother s Touch Large Comfort Bather from Summer Infant grows with your child from newborn to infant The bather s large frame cushioned edges and soft mesh sling seat help to ensure your baby s comfort and safety at bath time A deluxe head support adds extra stability for your infant and can be easily removed as baby growsBathing a newborn is always a frightening prospect for an unseasoned parent. However, this bather?s design is well thought out to ease some of the anxiety about giving those first baths. First, the sling-style seat is made of a soft, nylon mesh that conforms to baby?s body and reduces the chances of baby slipping down below the tub?s water level--a potential hazard that is more likely with a smooth plastic bath seat. While there is a belt on this bather, it is intended to secure the cover to the wire frame, not to hold baby in the seat. For added comfort, the seat has cushioned edges so baby won?t get poked by the bather?s wire frame during bath time and a removable terrycloth and nylon padded headrest provides additional support for newborns. The backrest offers two positions?reclining for newborns with little head support and a more upright angle for when baby?s neck muscles get stronger. This bath seat can be used for newborn babies to until they begin sitting unassisted. It offers a larger frame and supportive base than most to accommodate bigger babies and non-skid feet helps prevent the seat from skidding in the tub. The seat neatly folds for storage or travel and has a machine-washable and mildew-resistant cover for convenience. --Cristina Vaamonde
Baby Products Reviews of Summer Infant Mother's Touch Large Comfort Bather
Customer Review: A tub seat that grows with your baby!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 4.5 month old son has never liked the plastic bathing tubs, so right from the very beginning, he's been in the big tub with a tub seat. He loved bath time until just a few weeks ago, when he outgrew our original Especially for Baby (the BRU "house" brand) tub seat. In desperation, we searched the shelves at BRU and settled on the Mother's Touch.
I can't say enough good things about this tub seat. The head support features a soft washcloth-like insert to cushion a newborn's delicate head, and it can be repositioned or removed as the baby grows. The two-position back reclines for newborns, and sits up straighter for older babies. The entire seat is up high enough that quite a bit of water is needed in the tub, but I found that it makes it easier to control how deep my baby sits in the water (in the old tub seat, he had to be up to his ears in order to have enough water to bathe in). One of the things my son hated about his previous tub seat was that he couldn't sit up in it. The design of the Mother's Touch provides enough support to allow Baby to sit up mostly unassisted, and the ample padding makes sure he doesn't bruise himself on the hard edges. Even though there's lots of support and padding, it's still very important to closely supervise your baby when using this (or any) tub seat.
Another reviewer mentioned a couple of things things that I'd like to respond to:
*There are no suction cups on the base: I have found that the rubber grips provide more than enough traction, but tubs may vary.
*She would like a strap: the seat that I have does have a strap (it's stored underneath the seat, so may not be immediately identifiable), so I wonder if the seat has been redesigned recently.
Overall, my son and I are very happy with this tub seat, and I've been recommending it to friends. They'll have to buy it new instead of getting it as a hand-me-down, though. I foresee him being able to use it for most of his first year before he outgrows it!
