I purchased a bath seat, it was supposed to be safe. It has happened twice that while my daughter was having a bath, the seat has come apart -- not at all safe.

On both occasions nothing has happened because my daughter was supervised at all times. I do think that they are not safe.

They are safe only if an adult is in attendance every second baby is in the bath. The seats are now being regulated in the U.S., after more than 100 documented drownings in ten years.

Nicole of Panorama City CA (4/13/01):
I put my 5-month-old in the bath with the Safety 1st swivel bath seat. During the process of bathing my son, the bath seat tipped over three times and submerged my child under water.

I thought that maybe I had put the seat in the tub the wrong way and tried again and to my shock it happened again. I called the company and they said to pack it in a box and FedEx would pick it up free of charge with a full money-back return in about two to three weeks.

I received my refund in about six weeks but not in the full amount of purchase -- about three dollars less which was fine.

My son does not like to take baths anymore, it seems as if he remembers what happened even at 5 month old.
