It did not stabilize my baby. She kept sliding down which makes it difficult to keep a comfortable level of water in the tub for her AND keep the water out of her ears. It also began to leak after a month of use. Imagine going happily about your evening, singing to your child, and them all of a sudden you notice this huge pool of water on the floor from a tub that worked the night before. After several attenpts of trying to figure out what was wrong, all you get is disappointment. Keep looking, this is not the tub to buy.
