Papillon Baby Bath Ring

Product Review

What makes the Papillon a great alternative to cold, hard plastic baby bath seats? 1. The Papillon develops your baby's sense of independence. While a traditional bath seat restricts movement, the Papillon allow baby to float and move around safely in the tub. Your baby is able to grab bath toys by himself and even lie on his back or tummy! 2. The Papillon enhances baby's motor skills and sense of balance. The Papillon allows your infant maximum movement and freedom while keeping him safe and stable in the water. Bound passively in a plastic infant bath seat your baby is not able to move and develop his motor skills in the water. 3. The Papillon supports your baby even when he tries to stand up. This wearable bath ring fits snugly below baby's waist and stays on securely even as he begins standing and walking, to toddlerhood. Plastic bath seats can't support a baby who tries to rise from a seated position. 4. The Papillon outlasts a traditional bath seat. Begin using the Papillon when baby can sit up unassisted - between 7 to 10 months of age - and continue to use it as he starts standing and walking on his own. 5. Made of gentle fabric, the Papillon is soft and comfortable against baby's sensitive skin. 6. The Papillon lets you bathe all of your baby's body with ease. Finally, you can reach and bathe all of baby's parts without straining and lifting him out of an uncomfortable bath seat. 7. The Papillon lets you easily bathe two children or twins at a time. Bathe one twin while the other plays safely in the water. Or, let an older child get a bath at the same time as your little one plays freely. 8. The Papillon is super easy to clean. There are no complicated parts to remove and scrub! Just rinse under running water and let it hang to dry. You can also throw it into the washing machine! 9. The Papillon is light, foldable and portable. As a light weight and foldable baby bath seat, the Papillon is easy to store and carry.

A ring float would be safer and cheaper, February 13, 2011

This review is from: Papillon Baby Bath Ring - Light Blue (Baby Product)

I put this on my 9 month old daughter, who can sit up in the tub and play unassisted while taking a bath, and she immediately managed to flip over with her head underwater and her legs up in the air. It's the first time she's ever been so upset in the bathtub, she swallowed water and was hysterical. I still wanted to believe it was a good device so I emptied the tub a little more and had her sit with it on...it got in the way of bathing, felt bulky and really didn't do much for her safety at all. I think a simple ring float would do the same job and cost much less. The Papillon is filled with styrofoam balls which stink like chemicals and it just feels cheaply made, plus it took an eternity to dry all the way through. I don't usually write reviews that are bad, but I really, really disliked this product and am mailing it back. With all the wonderful reviews I was very surprised that it wasn't better.

the BEST tub invention ever, November 28, 2010

Sheridan (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Papillon Baby Bath Ring - Green (Baby Product)

I don't normally write reviews, but we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product. Our daughter has used it from the time she could sit-up and with a little practice and supervision (of course!), she can play in the tub for long periods of time on her own while we watch. I think that the negative reviewer may not have been filling the tub up with enough water... we fill the tub full and let her play, as it's essentially a flotation device and the petals give stability when the water props them up, so if you only bathe your child in 3 inches of water it probably won't do much for you.

DANGEROUS ! Serious design flaw! Be warned - not for the faint of heart ., August 4, 2011

This review is from: Papillon Baby Bath Ring - Green (Baby Product)

I read all the reviews before buying this product and thought the folks who had the baby tip were just not filling the tub enough. I made sure to put plenty of water in the tub and the minute I put my 6 month old in the Papillon (with string tied pretty tight), she flopped to where it tied. It's a simple design flaw that they cleverly omit from the photos. My baby is only 16 lbs and there's a big gap between pillows because of the string. If they would just add a petal on the string it'd be fine but at this point I'm returning it because it's dangerous. Had the opening been to the front she would've flopped face first into the water. There was simply no way to keep her upright in it. I don't know how they photograph that baby without showing a gap and uneven petals. Ugh - now I have to go through the hassle of sending it back. Believe the bad reviews....this thing is a disaster.
