<p>A bath mat (10) is disclosed that provides a portable device for converting a typical bathtub (70) into a safe, more user-friendly environment for bathing infants/preschoolers or individuals with impaired mobility. The bath mat (10) provides both a system for catching fluids that splash over a top rim of the bathtub while bathing and a padded surface to cover the top rim of the bathtub to ease discomfort of the parent or care giver who must lean over the bathtub. The bath mat is designed so that attachments (21), for the convenience and entertainment of the bather and the care giver (such as toys, cartoon characters, brushes, etc.), can be removably attached to the bath mat. In addition, the bath mat provides surfaces for receiving the buttocks and head of individuals who may require support from a caregiver.</p> |
