What is Safe Kids Canada's position on baby bath seats?
Safe Kids Canada recommends that parents do not use baby bath seats. There are two reasons for this recommendation:
1) There is considerable evidence suggesting that the use of baby bath seats is associated with increased risk of drowning.
2) With a useful product life of only 2 to 3 months, baby bath seats have limited utility.
This information sheet from safe Kids Canada provides further information under the following headings; 1) What is a baby bath seat? 2) What are the injury concerns regarding bath seats? 3) Why have some prevention strategies failed? and, 4) What is the recommended prevention message?
