Abstract
A child bath seat, placed within and attached to a bathtub, includes a seat body that includes both a seat and a retaining structure extending above the seat for laterally retaining a child seated in the seat body. The seat also includes a bracing structure that holds the seat body in an upright position. The bracing structure has a first end attached to the seat body, and a second end, defining a recess, for receiving an upper edge of a side of the bathtub. The bracing structure can be a clamp. The child bath seat can be adjustable to accommodate varying bathtub side widths and varying bathtub depths. The child bath seat can be suspended above or a portion of the bath seat can rest on the bottom surface of the bathtub.
