My baby is 4 month old and it still works for me. I think that if your baby is 6 month you should only be careful because at that age they may want to stand up. You should also review your baby height and how it works comparing the chair dimensions, so that it would not be too small for you.

I would say yes if s/he is already comfortable in the water and quite strong. But for most 18 month olds I would say no. Id try something like this Swim School Aqua Tot Trainer

I think it depends in how big he is. My some was about 3.5 months but already about 15 lbs so he fit perfectly. He is now 5 months and still uses it but I don't think it's as helpful as a bumbo when you want to help them learn to sit up and it's more difficult getting them out than if you had a bumbo.

It didn't work too well for mine. Not enough room to maneuver. He would start dipping his head in the bath and I would spritz him down after that.

Not at all! I actually gave this tub to a friend of mine because I thought it was too small for my 1 year old at the time. Try the inflatible tub from "One Step Ahead".

We really have not noticed much sliding. Works great for our kids under 12 years old. I'm sure you could put on friction tape if you noticed sliding.

I'd say 6 months and up since it's a hard plastic toy don't want your little one to get hurt

It really depends...if your son is a toddler like mine then I would say yes...I added a small slide to mine and my son had no problem sliding down it...oh and I added a blanket under the pool for soft landing...I think your idea would work...

Hello, Sandra! My baby is 1 year old and walks quite well- sometimes he pushes it and it slides on the floor (without carpet) but doesnt tip over. If baby doesnt have good coordination and you dont have a carpet- the baby might hit the floor(

Our little grandson started using his at 5 months, but I think he is more interested in it and can sit up well enough at 6 months to really enjoy it. I would say that 6 months would be a good age (depending on the development of the child) to introduce this product.

YES! We recently got a water softener - having a textured bathtub, I didn't think anything of it until my 2 year old was taking a bath and jumped while in the tub, slipping immediately (luckily I was there and caught him). I realized that we needed to get a non-slip mat that wouldn't move and the suction cup ones just didn't suction. We made the purchase and concerned with the textured tub - contacted the seller to find out and were reassured that the back was designed for it. Not only can my son jump in the tub without slipping now, due to backing the mat doesn't move AT ALL. Well worth the cost! YES!

This will work for at least another year...they will fit in it until they can sit in tub safely without assistance. Also check the LeachCo bath flipper -- just got that yesterday for my 8 month old and I really like it. It's much smaller and isn't as cumbersome to drain. I had the bath and bumper for my now 3 year old.

It really depends on how big he is. It is a toddler bed so he might be too big for it at 6 and if he isn't yet, he will probably outgrow it fast. We got it for my son when he was 1 and he is 3 now. I think he will get a couple more years out of it at most before he's too big and he is average size for a 3 year old.

We bathed him in the kitchen sink and had a pull out faucet. Baby that fits in here wouldn't really be able to change the temp at that age. We loved it til he was over a year. Then we switched to a tub in tub.

I think this tub would work best for a child that can sit up and catch themselves since it is pretty slippery. I would get an infant tub instead. They have some that have the slings for when they're really little and then you can take it out to use when they're a little bigger so it lasts longer.

The inside is made of the same material as the outside; however, we didn't have a problem with slipping. The tub fits the baby snugly while they're bathing and you're preparing to take them out.

I have a 6th month old who fits great. I think it would be too small for that age group.
