Foldaway 2-Position Bather
Water drains straight through the mesh sling while a padded headrest cradles a newborn. The metal frame adjusts through multiple angles to match an infant leaning back or an older baby sitting up. When bath time is done, the whole unit collapses flat to slide behind a door or pack into a trunk.
Prices are what the catalogue last saw and move without warning. The number on the retailer page is the one that counts.
Reading the piece
- Adjustable metal frame The bather shifts through several recline angles to support a baby who cannot hold their head up yet, as well as an older infant who wants to sit higher. The metal base locks in place and rests on non-slip feet.
- Mesh fabric sling Water drains directly through the green mesh material so the baby never rests in dirty rinse water. High fabric sides keep them centered on the frame, and a cushioned section supports the back of the head.
- Flat fold for travel The frame collapses down into a slim profile with a single latch. It tucks between the tub and the wall, hangs inside a small bathroom closet, or packs flat into a suitcase for trips away from home.
- Machine washable seat The fabric cover unhooks from the metal frame when soap residue or grime builds up. Run it through a wash cycle on laundry day, stretch it back across the frame, and let it air dry before the next bath.

Worth a second look
- The limit is 20 lb, which many babies reach well before the first birthday. Buy it for the months you have, not for the year.
- Rated across three of the four stages here, which is why it costs what it costs and why it is worth checking the folded size before buying.
- Sold in two versions that share this frame. They differ in the cover and nothing else, so pick on the fabric and check each one’s own price.
What buyers wrote about this one
“I originally bought this to take to the beach with our newborn but it has become one of my favorite bath accessories. It dries quickly and folds up compactly which is great if you have little bathroom storage like us. For under 20 dollars this is a WINNER! It has also been nice to take to outdoor events since it is mesh and breathable for our son!”
“Bought for travel. love it. We used in bathtub also as a seat outside and baby pool. Super easy to open and close. Perfect size. Versatile use. Easy to clean and comfortable material especially head rest. Recommend to everyone”
“I got this for the beach so my newborn could lounge because she likes the Bjorn like position, but when it came in I realized how great it is. I have a two year old and this makes it so easy to pick it up and carry it around the house so she has a place to sit, it is extremely light sunlight bouncers or swings so you can move it around easily. It folds up tiny for storage or transport. I wish I just got this as my original baby bath.”
