Kids bath mat guide: non-slip tub mats and bath rugs that keep kids safe
Wet tubs and floors are slippery, and kids love to stand, splash and climb. A good non-slip bath mat is one of the simplest ways to make bath time safer.
In our house, a non-slip rubber mat in the tub has been one of our most useful bath items. Here's how to choose one, how to keep it clean, and what else helps.

In the tub: mat or stickers?
Suction-cup tub mat: covers a big area and is easy to take out and wash. Make sure your tub surface is smooth so the suction cups hold.
Non-slip stickers (treads): stay in place and don't trap water underneath, but they're harder to remove later.
Either way, kids should always have a grippy surface where they stand or sit.

Outside the tub: a soft bath rug
A soft, absorbent rug with a non-slip backing helps when kids step out dripping wet. Machine-washable rugs are easiest for families.

Keep the mat mold-free
Water trapped under a suction mat can grow mold. After the bath, hang the mat up or lift it so both sides dry.
Wash it regularly and replace it if the suction cups or surface start to break down.
Bath safety reminders
A non-slip mat helps, but it is not a substitute for supervision. Never leave young children alone in the bath, not even for a moment.
Keep water shallow for little ones, test the temperature first, and keep baths short so kids stay warm and comfortable.
Make bath time fun
Once bath time feels safe, add a little fun: our kids loved a magnetic fishing toy in the tub. Yukemuri Quest, our app, turns bath time into a small adventure for kids.
