Chairs for bathing the baby in the bathroom: types and nuances of choice

Daily water procedures for a baby up to one year old are an important part of his life. Moms and dads try to make this process not only useful and fun for the child, but also safe. For this reason, many modern parents are thinking about purchasing a special chair, which is designed exclusively for bathing in the bathroom. Before choosing it, you need to find out everything about its features and what materials it is made of. It is also worth considering the opinions of those parents who are already actively using such an item for bathing their babies.

Before choosing a bathing chair, you need to consider not only its advantages and disadvantages, but also what age it is intended for. Young parents should know that it is impossible to use such an object while the child has not yet learned to sit.

As a rule, babies at the age of six begin to sit confidently, and only then can they be bathed while sitting. Before that, babies are bathed in special baths with nets in the form of hammocks or with other convenient devices, thanks to which the child is on the surface.

As for the chair, which will be discussed later, this thing is very convenient and irreplaceable. The peculiarity of this item for the bathroom is that it is guaranteed to provide the baby with safety and does not allow him to fall into the water.

Today, in children's stores you can find a wide variety of such items for bathing and for swimming in the tub. To choose a comfortable and, most importantly, safe highchair for your baby, you need to consider each of the options in as much detail as possible.

Perhaps the most common type is the most common highchair., which is equipped with a special limiter. That is, it resembles a feeding chair, since there is a panel in front of it, thanks to which the baby will not fall. This model fits in the bathroom. As a rule, such models, intended for young children, come with suction cups, which allows them to hold more steadily inside the bath.

These models often come with toys that can be easily removed from the panel if desired. They help distract the baby, keep him busy while bathing. There are also options with a removable bumper, which will later fit an adult baby.

The highchair may well be suspended. This is a lighter construction that is conveniently attached to the sides of the tub itself. As a rule, such models have a very high back, which is convenient when washing a child. One of the advantages of such a model is that you can independently adjust its height, which is very practical and convenient.

Another popular option is the versatile chair. The fact is that it can be used not only while swimming, but also for feeding. The highchair is also equipped with suction cups, which can be easily replaced with stable legs. The backrest is adjustable for such models, and during feeding it can be folded back a little.

The choice of materials from which such items are made is not so great.Today, the most popular is plastic, which has its own advantages. It is lightweight, durable and requires little maintenance. It is best to choose a model made of high-strength plastic, as the baby will grow, the weight will increase, and not every plastic chair will withstand a heavy load.

There are also products made of wood combined with plastic and metal. The main part of them, namely the seat, is made of wood, and the fasteners and other parts are made of the above materials. Such models can withstand the weight of the crumbs well and are environmentally friendly.

The sizes of products are very different. It is recommended to choose the model that suits your baby at the moment. Be sure to consider the child's age and weight. Many parents buy a large chair, arguing that the baby will grow and such a model will last for several years. Keep in mind that chairs that are not old enough can be dangerous for the baby, as the baby will sit too freely and there is a high probability that he will be able to slip into the water. Also, do not torment a child in a structure that has already turned out to be small for him.

Choosing a reliable and high-quality model for your child, especially if he is not even one year old, pay attention to the presence of a special part for "gripping" the legs. In addition, there must be a crossbar that will be located between the legs of the child, preventing him from slipping.

The most popular are, of course, bright colors. Today, manufacturers of such chairs offer a large selection of different colors and shades. You can easily choose, for example, a red or orange chair. And you can choose the color of the product, focusing on the gender of the child: blue or pink.

However, it is not recommended to choose too bright colors, as this will irritate the baby during bathing. Try to choose soothing colors that help you relax, such as shades of light green.

If the product is made in the form of a figurine of an animal, for example, a frog or an elephant, then pay attention to their color. Do not choose colors that are unnatural for a particular animal. For example, a pink elephant or a bright red cow. For your baby it will not only be a comfortable and safe bathing chair, but also a kind of game. You will be able to learn colors by playing in the bath, so it is important that the child has the correct understanding of animals and their colors from childhood.

The style and design of such products can be very different. For example, a bathing chair can be made in the form of a very ordinary chair. That is, nothing superfluous, no additional parts and accessories. Such a strict design will appeal to caring parents, since small or large details of additional jewelry can injure the baby.

If you wish, you can opt for the classic version.but with an interesting and stylish print. It can be some kind of fabulous or cartoon character that your child likes. Such patterns are applied in a special way to the surface of the product and withstand long-term contact with water without deforming.

You can also choose a more original design. As mentioned above, this can be an animal product. Of course, a child will like this stylish chair more.

You can choose the option with toys. As a rule, they are located on the front panel, firmly fixed, but they can always be detached and played separately. Thanks to this design, manufacturers manage to solve not only the issue of safety, but also the issue of leisure. With such a product, the baby will have something to do while swimming.

Among modern manufacturers, there are brands whose product quality is especially noted by young parents. For example, products from Happy baby many people like it, because it is completely safe, since it has no sharp corners. In addition, mothers especially note the comfortable seat, which does not slip at all, making the baby feel comfortable. The same thing consumers say about products Ikea, which presents a variety of options for similar products for every taste and wallet.

Parents respond positively to products Smoby Cotoonsdespite its high price tag. The models of this brand are equipped not only with a comfortable and comfortable seat, but also with a game panel. With such a highchair, the baby will be completely safe and he will not be bored while swimming.

It is worth noting separately the product from Ok Baby "Flipper Evolution", which is equipped with a comfortable seat with special anti-slip pads. Also, young mothers are pleased with the presence of a built-in thermometer on some models of this brand, so that they can always know the exact temperature of the water.

Chairs from Favorite and Babyton are also in demand, and this is not surprising. After all, the models of these manufacturers are distinguished by their ergonomics, safety and quality. When choosing such a product for a baby, be sure to pay attention to all its qualities and take into account the reviews of those parents who already use the products of this or that brand.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the safety of the model.

Consider a few guidelines to help you make the right choice.

• Don't go for too cheap models. It is better to purchase an average price tag, because high cost is not an indicator of quality.
• Pay attention to the weight of the chair itself, it should not be too light. Such a design will be unstable and will deteriorate very quickly. In addition, such a model can be dangerous for the baby. The ideal weight for such items is more than two kilograms.
• Be sure to pay attention to the quality of the plastic. If there is an unpleasant smell, the color of the product is heterogeneous, with stains, then it is better to refuse such a purchase.
• When choosing a model, pay attention to the quality of the suction cups. They must perform their function perfectly, otherwise it is just a waste of money.

• Give preference to the manufacturer you really trust. Perhaps you have already bought products from a particular brand that are of high quality.
• If the manufacturer gives a guarantee for his product for less than six months, then you should think about the quality of the product.
• If you plan to use the chair only in a large bathtub, which is made of acrylic, then the option with ordinary suction cups will not work. They simply will not be fixed on such a surface. Give preference to the option that is attached to the sides of the bath.
• Choosing expensive and "new" options, think about whether you really need all these additional functions and accessories in the form of a game panel, etc.

To understand which chair will be ideal for you, you need to buy it yourself. It is better not to order products of unknown companies through online stores, which do not give any guarantee.

The best options, according to most parents, are products with a swivel chair. Such are, for example, from the Happy Baby company and not only. This model makes it easy to wash your baby. It is also worth considering the presence of silicone inserts and pads on the seat itself, which does not allow the child to slide while swimming. Almost all of the above brands are equipped with just such seats, for which they receive positive reviews.

In addition, products from Smoby Cotoons and Ok Baby can be considered as one of the successful options. Many models of these brands have not just toys, but retractable panels. With such a highchair, you can easily seat your child and take him out after bathing. In addition, toys are easy to detach, allowing them to be played separately. This is very convenient, since after the end of bathing, the baby is unlikely to want to part with them.
