When do babies not need bath seat?

My baby girl is almost 11 months and just wondering how long she’ll need to sit in a bath seat for? She’s sitting by herself and crawling. I’m not sure if it’s required to take the seat away until they’re older so just wondering what sort of age they can sit in the bath without one. Thank you!!

My son is 11 months and hasn't used one since about 6/7 months when he was sitting up unaided and kept trying to climb out of the seat to reach toys. It was safer to just take the seat out x

As soon as mine could sit on her own fairly well. 5 months.

I stopped using one as soon as my son was sitting up consistently without falling over

My son started sitting up on his own around 4m but I didn't feel comfortable with a free range bath baby until he was more stable around 7m. I think it all depends on when you are comfortable.

I never used a seat never thought of it although we got one I never leave my baby unsupervised so I’m always there holding him or watching so no accidents so far even now he started to standing up in a bath and trying to be naughty 😂

There's no "requirement" you can do what you feel comfortable with. I never used a seat, I was more comfortable just getting in the bath and holding her. Whenever you want to try without the seat go for it

We only just stopped using ours at 17 months. The seat we had said up to 12 months because that's often when they start to try getting out of it etc but my girl was happy in it and it felt safer. We only stopped because we went on holiday and couldn't take it with us. She's got a bath mat now but my god bathtime is more complicated now she's getting up and walking around in there - I miss the seat 😅

Most bath seats say to stop using when they are starting to pull up on their own to stand. But I’m sure that once your little can sit unassisted well they aren’t necessary. My son is almost 10 months and we still use it just because it’s easier to finish up my own stuff in the bathroom (he is 100% supervised) while he sits and plays

I never used one.... Before he could sit, I would hold him on my legs and we'd use a shower, then when he was sitting independently we just sat him straight on the bath mat and always had a hand either on him or right by him.
