basti is a bath and shower cradle for a child who cannot sit unsupported to be washed. The child lies on a generous padded surface, and the whole thing can sit in the bath, on a subframe for the shower, or outdoors at the beach.
The point most carers notice first is the one-handed backrest adjustment. You change the angle while the child is in the cradle without letting go of them. On the largest size it runs on two stainless steel ratchet joints.

The low seat position in the bath also means less water per bath, which adds up in a household bathing a child every day.
Scripted to the child, so start with a measure-up. Book a trial and we will size it with the treating therapist.
