Honestly better than I could have ever expected. Use it every single day for bath time. It has made bath time safer for my daughter and easier on our elbows and knees. We have one of those sliding glass door showers so I am constantly worried about her hitting herself on the metal and also, needless to say it hurt my arms and knees to bathe the kiddo. This thing is soft/ nicely padded and works perfectly. I also love the little hippo design. Very cute.
