An inflatable waterproof bath aide comprising an inflated vinyl mattress having a central bed chamber, an elevated pillow chamber, elevated left and right chambers, an air inflation valve on its lower face, and a plurality of suction cups on its lower face for attachment to a bathing surface.

The present invention discloses a child safety retention device that is shaped substantially in the form of a chair or may be formed from a flexible sack with apertures for insertion of feet that is suspended from a horizontal rails having a mounting brace and upright rails therefrom. The sidewalls or the elliptical rail may contain telescoping shafts for securing the chair to an upright surface, such as a bathtub or a wall. The telescoping shafts have the ability to lock into position between the minimum and maximum extension distances of the telescoping components. The telescoping components, including the shaft and the means of locking the telescoping components at a certain extension length serve to secure and immobilize the retention device inside a bathtub or a shower stall. Suction supports at the bottom of the horizontal member, also known as the seat, further reinforce the secure position of the child safety retention device within a bathtub or a shower stall. The retention device can be foldable for easy storage or for traveling. The utility surface can also function as a utility surface to accept toys, soaps or even snacks. Additional pouches and stows can be provided, including pouches to hide the rigidity elements when the retention device is in folded state.

A baby bathing net frame, applied with a bathing basin, includes a support frame, a carrying net and a buoyant element. The support frame includes an upper rod enclosing into a rectangle, two side rods and a lower rod. The upper rod is hung at an edge of the bathing basin, and the lower rod is in contact with a lower portion of the bathing basin. The carrying net is disposed on the support frame and is for carrying the baby. The buoyant element is disposed on the support frame and away from the upper rod. When bathing water is present in the bathing basin, buoyancy of the buoyant element causes the lower rod to float and depart the lower portion of the bathing basin. Thus, the baby is kept afloat on the bathing water surface through the buoyancy of the buoyant element when taking a bath.

A device for bathing infants aids the development of infants by allowing them freedom of movement appropriate to their stage of development. In one embodiment, a basin has an inclined surface with a drainage hole and a plug. In a second embodiment, a basin has a substantially flat bottom and walls shaped to allow the baby to sit in different positions transversely and longitudinally. Preferably, the bottom of this seated baby basin has feet to raise it off the bottom of the adult shower or bathtub. The basin has a perimeter comprising a flexible wall connected to an upper frame and a lower frame, adapted to allow an infant to sit, bend, kneel, walk, or crawl. Preferably, the tension of the flexible wall such as mesh fabric or the equivalent contributes to the good mechanical behavior of the periphery.

An improved bath seat for a young child or infant is provided. The bath seat has a plurality of rigid, extendable and retractable, stabilizing arms that include pivotable, spring-loaded suction cups at or near their ends that are engageable by means of suction with a wall of the bathtub to prevent the bath seat from tipping.

A baby bathing system including a bathing tub, having a reservoir and a bath basin connected to the reservoir by a weir discharging bath water from the reservoir into the bath basin. A baby bath support insert is received within the bath basin downstream of the reservoir, the baby bath support insert having a flexible seat and a base projection projecting from the flexible seat towards the bath basin. The base projection is conformally seated against an interior surface of the bath basin and supports the flexible seat raised from the interior surface of the bath basin with the baby bath support insert received in the bath basin. The base projection includes at least one aperture extending through the base projection and disposed so that bath water from under the flexible seat communicates through the base projection with outer sides of the bath basin.

An apparatus includes a person-supporting structure including a first surface, configured to face a person while the person-supporting structure supports the person, and a second surface behind the first surface. The apparatus further includes a cover coupled to the second surface of the person-supporting structure and configured to contain water between the cover and the person-supporting structure such that the water transfers heat to the person-supporting structure. Other embodiments are also described.

A system for securement of a baby within a bathtub. The system includes a seat attached to a frame. The seat includes a backrest, a base, and a harness, such that the harness can removably secure the baby within the backrest and the base of the seat. The frame includes a unitary rod that extends through a perimeter of the seat, and a pair of adjustable hook members. Each adjustable hook member can be widened or narrowed to snugly fit to a sidewall of the bathtub and be secured thereto by friction fit. Upon securement of the adjustable hook members to the sidewall of the bathtub and placement of the baby within the seat, the baby is safely secured to an interior of the sidewall for bathing or recreation.

One or more embodiments are disclosed for an infant bathing apparatus that fits in any sized bathtub for bathing a newborn, an infant, or a toddler and further allows a parent to sit in the bathtub during bath time. The infant bathing apparatus comprises a frame, a sling, one or more straps, and a stand. The frame is rigid and made of a buoyant material to stay afloat on top of the water and further defines an opening within which the sling is placed and removably connected to the frame. The sling holds and supports the baby within the frame. The one or more straps connect to the frame and may have suction cups that secure the frame to the sides of the bathtub. The stand is connected to the frame and rests on the floor of the bathtub. A parent may sit comfortably within the bathtub either with the stand attached to the frame or remove the stand from the frame once sitting inside the bathtub.

An upright massage tub can be converted into a standard bathtub. The upright massage tub is designed so as users can safely and easily enter the tub in a step/sit motion, sitting themselves upright in a natural, ergonomic position (at approximately a standard chair height). This upright design is also better for user assistants, putting them in a better ergonomic position while they assist users in bathing. This upright massage tub design also includes a vertically adjustable hub, housing a water jet that can deliver a proximity source of water-jet flow.
