About Bathing Buddies®
The Bathing Buddies® Shower Sling was created by Christine Sevier, a working mother whose husband was overseas while she raised their first child. After several unsuccessful attempts to bathe her baby in a traditional baby bath tub, she started to shower with her baby, holding her in one arm and soaping her with the other. Her baby was very happy, but this practice was very dangerous. Christine knew there had to be an easier, safer way to shower with her baby. That's when the first shower sling was created. Christine knew women all over the world showered with their babies. How could she share this with other parents? After a partnership with one of her best friends and several prototypes, the Bathing Buddies® Shower Sling was born!
