Baby bath hammock?

A baby bath hammock is a practical support device, especially for babies (generally 0-6 months) who cannot yet hold their head up on their own and cannot sit unsupported. It consists of a skeleton that sits on the two edges of the tub or basin with a stretched fabric, allowing the baby to be in the water safely in a semi-reclined position.
Advantage: The parent's both hands become free for washing and safety instead of holding the baby. Since it provides a semi-reclined position in the water, the baby feels secure.
Warning: A bath hammock is never a "hands-free" tool—the baby should never be left unattended; even a few seconds of inattention can create a drowning risk. Water can accumulate under the fabric and approach the baby's mouth/nose; before each use, the hammock must be secured firmly and ensure it is not shifting.
Pediatric view: A bath hammock, when used safely, is a helpful aid, but it is not safer than traditional bathing by hand—it simply makes the parent's job easier.
