At that age, I had my son on a bath cushion. A mat is sufficient, but the bath cushion is more comfortable. They sell them at Babies R Us.

I bathed my children in the baby bath tub until they could stand firmly on their own. Then, I showered them in the bathroom. I placed a non-slip bath mat in the shower cubicle.

We have a bath sponge. It’s just a flat piece of sponge that is comfortable and not slippery. You can just throw it in the washing machine. I used it in his infant tub and in the big bath tub. It only cost $5.

Around that age we ditched the baby bath tub too. We bought a regular bath mat so his little butt doesn’t slide around. It works fine. I always sit on the floor and play with him anyway, so if he did tip over I’d be able to catch him before his head hit the water.

I have a bath seat for my 8 month old daughter. this is the one I have.http://shopping.yahoo.com/s:Baby%20Bathi…
just to add, only an idiot would leave a baby “just for a second” in the tub, whether or not you have a bath seat shouldnt matter. the seat is to help them sit up…

If you only have one in the tub I like these a lot. Its pretty much half the size of the full bath which is plenty of room, but fills up faster and stopped my son from standing (and falling) all the time:http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp…
But now I have two, and my toddler loves to play with the baby in the bath and my baby has started trying to stand so I am going to try a bath ring -if I can find one

Bath seats can be really dangerous. I would get a bathmat – although pay frequent attention to the underside (make sure to air dry after each bath) & bleach it regularly. I had stickers I put in the bottom of the tub when they were little.
Just a reminder to everyone – Never leave a baby unattended ever ever ever – which would be a temptation with a seat. I have heard of moms running to answer the phone because they were sure baby was fine in the seat for a second.
