Due to the recent revelation, the charity is now emphasising the fact that baby bath seats are not safety devices. Figures also revealed that 88% of parents have used a baby bath seat, and almost two-thirds (64%) of those with children under one currently do so. RLSS UK is therefore working to increase parents’ understanding of the purpose of baby bath seats to help promote safer bath times for all families. “Of ten infants that drowned in the bath in the last four years, seven were using a bath seat. Regardless of whether you are using a bath seat during bath time, we always advise parents and carers to keep young children within arm’s reach in water.
