3.0 out of 5 stars My back started aching, May 1, 2003

I like the idea of this kneeler; the arm cushion is a great idea and so is the cushion for the knees. It has a cute design and pockets are always a plus. However, in practical terms, I was a little disappointed by this product.

First, once I unfolded and snapped the arm section into place, it was impossible to release it to return it to its folded position, which makes storing it cumbersome.

The stool/kneeler is sturdy, but I found that instead of being helpful for my back, it actually caused my back to hurt much more quickly. It placed me so high above my daughter, I ended up bending over even more to bathe her.

In the longrun, I don't really use this much as a whole product. It will be a great stool for my daughter someday, but that's quite a long, long way off since she is now only a baby. I actually use my "Safe Bather" cushion to support my knees and then use the arm section of this product to protect and cushion my elbows.

After looking at several different variations my husband and I decided to go with this one. The cushioning on the kneeler is awesome and I also really like the elbow rest.

The hanging organizer has two pockets which fit our daughters bathwash and bubble bath. We use a new washcloth at each bathing so this is really all we need to hold.

What I liked most about this product was that it "grows" with your child so they can use it as a stepstool as they get older. For the price I think its the best choice out there. Mom and dad can use it (we actually bought it for grandma who loves to bathe our daughter but has an ackward time doing it in our tub) and then our daughter can use it to brush her teeth or to stand in the kitchen.

The maximum weight on this product is 200 pounds so I think its a good product for adults as well who maybe need a little extra help reaching that top shelf in the kitchen!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not sturdy, June 11, 2003

The kneeler is not very sturdy. I was not comfortable kneeling on it, and I felt like my weight would break right through the flimsy little styrofoam-like cushion. If that is what the manufactorer considers cusioning, I'm not impressed. I might as well kneel on a folded towel. I was hoping for something that would be soft. Also, the construction of the item is not very sturdy. It is made of plastic, and it does not seem at all durable. The elbow "cushion" is also not very soft. It is not secure, either. When I leaned against it to test it, it slid right off. If I'd been busy bathing my baby, I would have tumbled into the tub with him. I don't recommend this product.
