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!

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.

I LOVE THIS ITEM,MY SON IS 2 YEARS OLD SO HE IS SOME WHAT ACTIVE IN THE BATHTUB SO THING GET WET SO THE ARM REST HELPES YOU FROM SLIPPING IN,THE KNEELER HELPES ALOT AND THE BEST THING IS THE POCKETS, JUST PUT THE BABY BATH AND SHAMPOO IN THERE AND YOU NEVER EVER NEED TO TURN YOUR HEAD AWAY FROM YOUR CHILD.I LOVE THIS,IT IS A MUST HAVE!!!

Although at times it's hard to keep the suction cups in place, I find this product to be user-friendly. It doesn't take up too much space on the floor, and it folds easily for storage. Also, it has areas in which you can store shampoo, wash clothes, etc. It has vibrant colors that helps brighten up the bathroom too!

When my son gets older, I think it will also be a nice step stool for his bedroom or bathroom.

I bought this product several weeks ago and use it almost every night when giving my baby his bath. It is a lifesaver for my knees! Before, my knees used to start aching while I was kneeling. This cushions my knees, and the elbow rest is also very comfortable. I don't agree with the other reviewers that said the armrest isn't the right height -- it must be their bathtubs because it fits perfectly on my tub without the storage bag bunching or sagging. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the little rubber feet on the bottom of the stool come off when I lift the stool, so I don't move it away from the tub. It could just be a problem with my stepstool, though.

I'm short and leaning over the tub was hard for me. The stool on this not only saves my knees but gives me better access to my little guy. It's also wide enough that I don't have to worry about losing my balance trying to stay on something small.
Part I don't like is the arm rest. It's a great idea but very unsturdy. My son likes to grab onto it and tries to stand and lean on it. With only two suction cups that stick on the outside of the tub it comes off very easily. And even when the suction cups don't release the arm rest still moves around and can be lifted.
I'd say this is a bad product for anyone with an older child because of the arm rest. It's an accident waiting to happen for a more mobile little one.

My post baby weight was over 200lbs, if you are over 200 lbs, this is not for you. I was only a few pounds over that so I thought "it will be safe". Err! Wrong answer, I cracked the kneeler portion. What a blow to the postpartum ego.

This product actually made my back ache! It raises you up off the floor too much, so you have to bend further to reach baby. I'm going to keep it for my son to use as a step stool later, but I was disappointed with it as a kneeler. Now I'm using one of those gardening kneeler pads, much better!

This is definetly not worth buying. It will not stay attached to the tub and falls down while bathing. While bathing, it places you too high to reach down to bathe your infant.
