I’ve had this for just over two years now – starting with the first kid at about 16 months and the second one started at around 6-8 months (when he could sit up). With the little guys, you still have to watch every second – but overall it’s worked really well for both to sit and play together in the tub even now with an 2 and 3 yr olds. Even though it only covers about 2/3 of the tub, it works fine because the sit on it and can have their legs on the “slippery side”. And, yes, the will slip in from time to time while they learn where it is safe to stand and move around. Watch them like a Hawk at first but soon, they will get the hang of it.Someone mentioned that it gets mildew. While that is especially true in humid climates, it’s going to happen any time you have warm, dark and water… Aka… leave it in the tub in order to get the kids in bed. (Guilty!) It will develop mildew easily if you don’t put it away after use and actually let it dry out. That’s just how mildew works and it definitely has happened to mine. I clean it with a Clorox wipe from time to time, but it still has developed black discoloration around the suction cups (it is not visible in use, because the stains are on the bottom). Although it still works great and looks good on the top, I may get another one (2 years later) because the stains gross me out.It is best to press this onto the tub before you add water. Every once in a while I forget and it’s tougher to have it stick well and can slip when the kids first get in (but, their weigh will eventually secure it in place).Overall, I’m glad I bought this.
