Can this seat be submerged under the water? My 5mth old needs to soak as she has eczema, just wondering if this would be a good option for her.

i dont know how heavy your five month old is but the water just might lift her and the seat up if she doesnt weigh it down given that there are no suction cups under the seat. also given that it doesnt have straps you might be playing with fire. i would say look for seats that are like ring and snap in on the side for your situation. look at the dreambaby ring seats

Yes he can sit on it in the shower. If he has a small bottom he could fall thru. I had a spare cushion with neoprene on if I used until he put some weight on. The seat is vinyl. The wheels lock. The only thing you need to do is we down right away and turn u it upside down to drain any water in the tubes. Otherwise the chair is well worth. Strong, sturdy and light.

Yes you could. We tried it but my little one likes to splash too much so we sit it in the adult bath tub now. I really LOVE this tub by the way. It is much safer and more comfortable for my son than the first one I had.

Absolutely! My two year old is always spilling or getting cookie crumbs everywhere. We take it off, which is simple and you don't have to remove straps or anything to get it off, and then just toss it in the wash. Make sure you dry it on medium or low heat, there is a couple plastic pieces that can warp and bend out of shape if you dry on high heat. This car seat is AWESOME!!!!!!

I really liked the product and it works very well. You can technically fit a toddler in the tub but it becomes tough to actually give them a bath without getting water everywhere after they are beyond 15-18 lbs or so, especially if your child likes to play and splash in water.

I'd say probably not. My 15 month old is 33 inches and 24lbs now and I think we may only have a another month or so before we have to transition to just using the actual bath tub. She is fine sitting in it but I can't lay her back properly to wash her hair. She's all scrunched up. We've been using this since about 7 months so it's given us a good run. Really an excellent tub that I will definitely be using for baby #2 until it's outgrown again.

My 3 year old had 2 accidents and nothing has leaked thru. I have washed and dried it 2 or 3 times and still no problems. Yes I would return it

Ads claim "Splash-Resistant." I would not count on water resistant. I have the same problem with sea sickness. Bought this item with no guarantee. Within 1 hour I was very sick. As a matter of fact worse than I ever was before. It sits in my drawer never to be used again. Good luck!

My son stopped using his around 2.5 years just because he started to like being in the entire tub and "swimming" in it. Its a nice tub. my main Issue is there isnt a drain plug. So you have to dump iit out and that's hard because the water is heavy when filled u p. if your child just like sitting in the tub this will work but if she/he is tall there won't be much room in it except for sitting. Itd be cheaper yo just bathe in the kitchen sink for the weekend. Haven't seen or used the kelgar to compare.

That depends on how nice you want to keep her. Repeated exposure to water will damage her hair, and water that gets stuck inside her head and joints can shorten the lifespan of those joints. But she's not going to immediately fall apart just because you got her wet, nor does she have any absorbent materials that will retain moisture and grow mouldy, so if your kid wants to play with her mermaid doll in the bathtub, no worries.

We used this tub as a transition from the infant tub until our large baby boy was over a year old. He could sit on his own in the tub at about 6 months but we still felt this tub was great for helping rinse the shampoo from his hair so his face didn't get wet. Once you're baby is able to sit unassisted on their own, you can probably just use the bath tub but it's nice to have this around for rinsing. Hope that's helpful!

You can definitely use this for a newborn and I have, for both of my children. I do put a towel down first, for more cushion and "hold". But unless the baby is tiny, the way this tub is constructed actually allows the baby to safely lay down, in the water, while you can use both hands to wash him or her.

Thank you for your question! Although it looks as though it could be used in the water, and the seat is machine washable, the manufacturer's specifications do not indicate that the Exersaucer itself can be submerged. Hope this helps!

I use it in the tub on my son. I don't put it in the water, just on a washrag. But I would think you could pour some in the tub under running water and achieve good results.

My son (also 4), who eats via a feeding port, can swim in pool water or ocean water without any problems. However, doctors said no lakes, streams, creeks or other bacteria laden areas. Someone told us about the Tegaderm dressings and we were only able to find the smaller 2 inch sizes. We use at least 4 or 5 of them each time he goes swimming in bacteria laden areas like lakes this summer. We have a pool but this was his first summer in camp and we hated for him not to be able to participate but we couldn't risk him getting an infection either. After monitoring his first two outings in the lake I feel confident now that these stay well even while he's jumping around like a maniac.

The cover is poly, so therefore can get wet with no problem. If I were to use this in the bath, I'd use it without the cover so that the pad can be shaken free of collected water, enabling it to dry faster.

It is very easy to clean. The bottom(you can't see it) is a plastic piece covered in a synthetic lambs wool. This can be removed and tossed in the washing machine. As far as the wet going through, I can't say. My dog is 10 years old, I take her out before going anywhere, and stop to let her out in case she has to go. I'm glad I purchased this seat. It is well made. My dog has breathing problems, I purchased a chest harness for her as opposed to a collar. There is a hook inside the car seat and you can hook a harnessed dog up for protection and to keep them still. I hope this information helps you.
