ibaby Deluxe Baby Bather

Product Overview

The ibaby Deluxe Baby Bather is a portable, adjustable seat that supports a newborn or infant during a bath, so the person washing has both hands free. Opened it measures roughly 55-60cm long, 31-33cm wide and 35cm high, and it folds flat for storage and travel.

Bathers like this are also sold under other names, including Tiibaby and Summer Infant. The adjustable back is the useful part — a newborn needs to be nearly flat, a five-month-old wants to be more upright.

Important — A Bather Is Not a Safety Device

Bath seats and bathers hold a baby in position. They do not prevent a baby slipping down, tipping, or ending up face-down in the water, and infants have drowned in them. In almost every case the adult had stepped away for a moment, believing the seat was doing the holding.

• Never leave the baby unattended, not for a second.
• Keep a hand on the baby the whole time.
• Take the baby out and with you if you have to leave the room.
• Stop using it once the baby can sit up unaided or tries to climb out.

Bath Safety

• Never leave a baby alone in the bath, not even for a second. An infant can drown in a few centimetres of water and it happens silently. If you must answer the door or the phone, take the baby with you.
• Run cold water first, then add hot, and test the temperature with your elbow or wrist — around 37°C. Hands are poor thermometers.
• Keep one hand supporting the baby at all times.
• Wet bathroom floors and soapy babies are slippery. Have the towel within reach before you start.
• Bath seats and rings are not safety devices. They tip.

How to Use

1. Open it fully and check every catch and hinge is locked before it goes anywhere near water.
2. Place it in the bath or sink on a stable, level base.
3. Set the recline — nearly flat for a newborn, more upright as head control develops.
4. Run shallow water and test at around 37°C with your elbow.
5. Lower the baby in, keep a hand on them, and wash with the other.
6. Rinse and dry the bather fully before folding it away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight does it take?

It is made for newborns and infants. Stop using it when the baby can sit unaided, regardless of weight.

Can it be used in a sink?

Yes, if the sink is big enough and the bather sits stable and level in it.

How do I stop it going mouldy?

Rinse and dry it completely before folding. Fabric and mesh left damp in a folded frame is where mould starts.
