Hi there,
My little boy is a non stop wriggler. The only time he sits still is when he (eventually) goes to sleep! Bath time has been a bit challenging lately because of this. We were using a bath seat which worked brilliantly, until he figured out how to climb out of it last week. Since then, he just wants to stand in the bath, and he is slipping all over the place. I was thinking one of those old lady suction rubber bath mats might help to keep him from cracking his head on the side of the tub. Does anyone know where I can get one from (and roughly how much)? Or does anyone have any other solutions? cheers xx |

I bought one from Payless Plastics - there were two types - one was around $20 and a very similar one was about $5. I got the cheap one and have had no problems with it. ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

I got one from Briscoes. It was half price so $7.50. We've found it works well too but it unfortunately doesn't stop Liam wanting to stand up   -------------

Thanks guys.
I was all set to go to Payless, but stopped at Bunnings first to get some bits and pieces, and they had them there! Who would have thought.... Lets hope for a nice uneventful bathtime tonight

We got ours from a plastic shop, they seem to get mould in them rather easily though ------------- |

My parents have 3 mats for their shower - my dad is disabled and the shower is a VERY dangerous place for him .My mum has to make sure that they are hung up to dry once dad is out of the shower and then every few weeks she treats them with 30 second and then hoses them off out side to keep them mould free.
I have got some cute mini ones - there is 6 in the packet (whale, duck, fish etc) and they are not too bad. -------------
