Aquatopia Aquatopia Bath-time Kneeler

Do NOT attempt to have a child without one of these! They are brilliant for cushioning your knees and making bathing a bit more comfy. Admittedly though they do stain, generally get a bit whiffy after about one year and look a bit grubby. But I DON'T care! as they make what could be pretty painful a lot easier. None of our suckers have come off and although you do have to unpack the pockets each time, I really only see them as ensuring that shampoo etc is in easy reach - always handy with a wriggling toddler. I came across this product by accident really but am so glad I did. I'm surprised they're not more widely available as it's a really good concept.

I bought this for my Husband who usually baths our son, as he suffers with bad knees. This product does make bathing the baby a lot more comfortable, but despite it being made from Neoprene, it has not survived the wet environment of the bathroom. It had lots of yellow brown water marks that will not come off through sponging alone, and one of the suction cups fell off within about 2 weeks of using the mat. Also, we haven't really used the pockets as you only have to take out all the items again to fold the mat away. Plus, we have a shaped bath so the mat doesn't fit it properly either. Only really designed for standard shaped baths. Think it would maybe have been better to buy a garden kneeler instead.
