The Big Gripper Slip Proof Bath Mat

Item #: 20101


Our giant bath mat is L-O-N-G on safety. Most non-skid bath mats cover only part of the tub...that's just not safe enough for us! The solution? Our giant 39½"L x 16"W tub mat! It covers nearly the entire tub bottom, eliminating those sneaky slippery spots. 200 suction cups keep it firmly anchored, and kids like its soft, cushiony surface. Machine washable, anti-bacterial, and mildew-resistant. (Not for use with all-textured surfaces.)

    Comments about One Step Ahead The Big Gripper Slip Proof Bath Mat:

    We were looking for a way to bathe our 8 month old twins together, and this was the perfect solution. This mat is big enough to give each of them plenty of room. It's also got a lot of "traction" so they don't slip. I still need another pair of hands to bathe both of them at the same time - but at least we don't worry about them slipping and sliding all over the tub! This is a great product.

        I had to throw away our last bath mat (different brand) b/c I just couldn't scrub all the mildew off. I hang this mat up after each bath and so far no mildew! Very happy

              Wish I would have gotten this when my daughter was an infant. No slip, easy clean in the washer and comfy on her bum! Best of all it covers the entire tub, so she doesn't have to worry about slipping if her toy floats out of reach. Worth the extra money.

                  I love this mat because it doesn't move at all. My baby seats very comfortable and my 6 year old can take baths and shower safely, even when she plays or acts silly in the tub.

                        Seems to be made pretty well and is nice and long, but will not stick in tub that is slightly textured. I was hoping to use this for our 9 month old because all he wanted to do was stand up during his baths. Unfortunately I had to return it because I could not get it to stick to the bottom of our tub. It is slightly textured and the suction just wont' take.

                        We got this when our 18 month old started using the big tub! It totally serves it purpose and provides a non-slip base in the tub. You don't have to worry about slipping at all and this is great as our little girl prefers to stand most of her bath. It also provides comfort opposed to the hard tub surface. My only complaints are it's kind of hard to get it to stick to the tub, the fornt comes up when you fill the tub and you do have to remove it nightly and hang as water gets trapped under it.

                            I would love this bath mat, if only the bottom of my tub weren't textured. It won't stick with the texture, so be sure to ensure you have a smooth tub bottom before purchase. We put it in for a couple baths and if I could keep both ends stuck down, I would still be using it, but couldn't get it to work.

                                    our son has special needs & was transitioning from inflatable tub (also from one step ahead :)) this gave us the security and the protection we needed for him very reliable, stays put and suctions down well - - BIG user tip, when not in use for him, I put a medium to large Command hook on bath tub wall - I pull up the mat and drape over large plastic clothes hanger - that way the mat stays clean for him!! Thank-you for keeping bath time safe & fun!!!!
