Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

If you have a "non-slip" tub....pls come in.

In the bathroom that we use for DS, the bath is a non-slip material.  Well, it is NOT truly non-slip b/c our little guy tries to stand and slips b/c the soap is kind of "slippery". 

So we can't find anything that actually "sticks" to the bottom of the tub (tub mat) and we can't have any toys that stick to the sides like a little basketball hoop set. 

I wondered if anyone who also has a non-slip tub has found anything that actually "sticks" and helps your DC from slipping.

TIA!!

ETA:  What I want to add is that the surface of my tub is considered already non-slip so non-slip mats will not adhere to it with suction cups.  I'm looking for alternatives to these mats.

  • I have a dinsey cars rubber suction mat that I put down in the tube before DS takes a bath. I got it from Walmart in the bath section of the baby aisle. It's not the design I would have prefered but it does the trick. You can also get generic cream or clear colored ones in the regular bath accessory sections.

    I added a message in my OP--but basically b/c my tub is already considered non-slip (but really isn't)--these mats don't work.  that totally sucks.  I did buy one of these mats and use it in our other tub--but in DS's tub it won't "stick"

    I had the same issue - I tried one of those mats on my "non-slip" tub and it floated! Back to the old drawing board! I'm hoping someone gives you a good answer, because I would be interested as well!

  • maybe something with stronger suction cups?  Our tub is supposedly nonskid (but isn't), and we are still able to secure the regular mat to the tub.

    I've also gotten the individual suction cup thingies (Target has ducks and frogs) that stick, but DS still found a way to get between them and slip.

    You could always go for the adhesive ones, too. You can find them at Target or walmart or BBB.

  • I have the same problem.  What I usually do is pull the mat up in the back and stick the suction cups to the (back) side of the tub (does that make sense?).  Once my son sits on the mat it doesn't float  up too much.
