Abstract

A bath ring is provided which is collapsible from a use to a storage position whereby the bath ring may be reconfigured to a compact configuration. The bath ring includes a base portion, a ring portion pivotally mounted to the base portion, a support post for supporting a rear section of the ring portion in spaced relationship to the base portion, and a T-shaped restraining bar pivotally mounted to the base portion and forming a front restraint which may be pivoted out of the way to place an infant on the base portion. In its collapsed position, the support post may be pivoted to a location underneath the base portion and the ring portion and T-shaped restraint may be pivoted rearwardly and downwardly toward the base portion.
