Believe me when I bath my litte guy here I do have a chair to sit on. It makes me more comfortable doing that way. Plus it doesn't really bother me since I have enough room to maneuver. Josh also got a small chair in there,so we're both definitely using it everyday. It was actually Myke's idea at first and we all love having those there. If you have a narrow tub this kind of shower chairs are perfect for you. Check it out!
