A baby bath seat (bath seat/stool) is a helper tool used after baby can sit (usually around 6 months) to give the parent a bit more hand freedom. But here's the critical warning: AAP and international safety authorities classify baby bath seats as a comfort tool, not a safety device. This means you must never leave baby alone, and one hand must always be on your baby; the seat won't protect against tipping or slipping.
In practice: If your baby can sit without support and the tub bottom is covered with a non-slip mat, a seat can make things easier. But if baby can't sit independently yet or the seat isn't sitting securely in the tub (it's slipping), the balance risk goes up. The safest alternative is always: a non-slip mat placed inside the tub, or holding baby in your lap while you crouch — this is better than using a seat.
Summary: If you get a seat, choose one with sturdy materials, a wide base, rubber non-slip feet, and a "6 months+" label. But stay right beside your baby during the entire bath — never step away, not even for a second.
