Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your bath seat:
- Prepare the Bathtub: Ensure your bathtub is clean and free of any soap residue or debris. The surface where the suction cups will attach must be smooth and dry for optimal adhesion.
- Position the Bath Seat: Place the bath seat in the desired location within your standard rectangular tub. The seat is designed to fit tubs between 21 and 24 inches wide.
- Engage Suction Cups: Press down firmly on the bath seat to engage all three Sure & Secure suction cups. Ensure they are fully flattened against the tub surface. You should hear a slight 'pop' or feel resistance as they seal.
- Test Stability: Before placing your child in the seat, gently pull up on the bath seat to confirm it is securely attached and does not move. If it shifts, re-wet the suction cups slightly and re-apply, ensuring a strong seal.
Operating Instructions
Once the bath seat is securely installed, follow these guidelines for safe operation:
- Fill the Tub: Fill the bathtub with a shallow amount of water, ensuring the water level is appropriate for your child and does not exceed their waist when seated. Always check the water temperature before placing your child in the tub.
- Place Your Child: Gently place your child into the bath seat. The soft, spacious seat and high backrest are designed for comfort and support.
- Supervise Constantly: Maintain constant supervision and keep your child within arm's reach at all times. The open-side design allows for easy access to clean your child.
- Remove Your Child: After bathing, gently lift your child out of the bath seat.
- Remove Bath Seat: To remove the bath seat, gently lift the edges of the suction cups to release the seal. Do not forcefully pull the seat without releasing the suction.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your bath seat:
- After Each Use: Rinse the bath seat thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap and shampoo residue.
- Cleaning: Use a mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth or sponge to clean the entire unit. The drain holes in the seat allow for easy rinsing.
- Drying: Allow the bath seat to air dry completely after cleaning to prevent mold and mildew growth. Store in a dry place.
- Do Not Use: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the plastic material.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bath seat does not adhere securely to the tub. | Tub surface is not clean, wet, or smooth; suction cups are damaged. | Ensure tub surface is clean, smooth, and slightly wet. Press firmly on each suction cup. If suction cups are damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support. |
| Bath seat does not fit in the tub. | Tub width is outside the recommended 21"-24" range. | Verify your tub's internal width. This bath seat is designed for standard rectangular tubs within the specified range. |
| Child slips down in the seat. | Water makes the surface slippery. | Ensure the child is properly seated. A non-slip bath mat placed under the seat (if it doesn't interfere with suction) or a small, soft towel can be used for added grip, but always ensure the bath seat remains stable. |
