Based on data from 2007-2009 in CPSC Nursery Product Reports, an average of 7 children die every year from the hazards of bath seats. KID recommends against the use of all bath seats.
These products are intended as bathing aids — NOT SAFETY DEVICES. It only takes a few seconds of time and as little as one inch of water for an infant to drown. Always keep babies within arm’s reach while near water. Consider using a small baby bathtub within the larger bath instead – make sure the main drain stays free. Bath seats are dangerous for the following reasons: Bath seats give parents a false sense of security Children can slip out of the seats or tip forward or sideways into the water and become submerged The suction cups on the bottom of a seat can detach from the tub, and the baby can tip over and become trapped underwater by the seat As the dangers of bath seats became evident, KID and other consumer groups across the country petitioned CPSC to ban baby bath seats, which are known to have been involved in at least 103 deaths and over 100 non-fatal incidents. CPSC now has a mandatory standard in place that will address the most common hazards of tip-over and the child slipping under water through the leg holes.
There are currently no baths seats that meet the new standard.
