CharliChair
Verified22 reviews
I recently picked up a chair and honestly didn’t expect this level of quality for the price. It’s very budget-friendly but still feels sturdy and well-made, not flimsy like some cheaper options. The comfort is great for daily use, whether for work or just relaxing, and the design looks clean and modern. Easy to set up too. Definitely a good find if you want something affordable without compromising too much on quality.
Ultra budget quality at a premium price, essentially an overpriced highchair. Straps don't tighten even remotely enough to fit our 6 month old let alone a newborn. Not ergonomically shaped or comfortable for your baby at all. Drainage holes are way too large and have been left with sharp flashing and plastic remnants inside, you'll want to line… Read more
the seat with a swaddle at least. 5 straps cover the gentiles making the whole thing rather pointless and converge at a large square plastic buckle that sits on your babies stomach for some reason. It's just a lot of cheap/lazy design.
Love the charlie chair. Makes bath time for babyb so much easier. I used the charli chair for my first born and now using it for the secong babyafter 3 years. Show details
Absolutely Love the CharliChair! – The CharliChair has been a total game-changer for bath time! As a parent, I used to struggle with bending over the tub, but this product makes everything so much easier. It’s sturdy, safe, and keeps my baby comfortable while I wash them at standing height—no more back pain! The adjustable recline is perfect for different stages, and the non-slip… Read more
design gives me peace of mind. Plus, it’s super easy to clean. I only wish I had bought it sooner! Highly recommend it to all parents looking for a stress-free bath time experience. ✨
Terrible service – Placed order paid then got an email from them saying that I needed to pay an extra $40 for delivery on top of the $10 I paid to cover costs due to my location. They refused to honour what I paid as I explained this should be something picked up at checked out and refunded my money. Very disappointing customer service requesting more money for… Read more
postage in the first place and then refusing to honour the error.
I’ve lived in my location for over 3 years and I’ve never come across this and get the standard postage fees on all orders I place online big or small.
Looks good but beware! – Initially really happy with this product which we received as a baby shower gift, looks good and sits at a comfortable height to wash baby. After several uses, pools of orange water would form on the bathroom floor at the base of the feet following use (whilst chair drying off). Several months in to using the chair, one side of the chair… Read more
released whilst baby was in the chair being showered. Instant panic!
Appears that one of the pins used to ‘secure’ the height of the chair had rusted to the point that it had fully corroded and dropped out.
Purchase with caution.
One of the best things we bought – The Charlie chair is awesome. I can have a shower at the same time or just wash my son. We got the 2 in one and my son loves to splash and play with the water when the plug is in. It saves my back and I don’t have to bend down. No more slippery awkward positions from the old baby bath. It’s safe and we can use it till he is 17kgs. I recommend it to everyone with a new baby. Show details
Great product – I have the 2 in 1 that can be used as a bath as well and I think its great. Wish I got it earlier. It is the perfect height for me and so convenient. Show details
Back saver – This is the most well spent item for my babies, such a life saver. Safe and well designed angle for parents not needing to bend our back during shower. Strongly recommend. Show details
It could be better – Pros-A shower chair for babies , great! I love this chair because it’s height adjustable And it saves me from doing a lot of bending .It has a 5 point safety harness to keep Bub safe. but.... Cons-In my opinion the price doesn’t match the product , I feel it is overpriced. The chair itself is $189 Without the bath and seat pad which is an… Read more
extra $50. To tilt the chair into a different position you have to twist the knobs on each side which can become a hustle over time especially in a small showering space. It is a light to carry but bulky to store away , if u don’t have much space in your bathroom I would suggest you check the dimensions.
Get the updated 2 in 1 version – Saw the original charlichair at an expo but decided to get the newer, sturdier bath seat. Worth the upgrade. Its fantastic being able to bathe baby girl in the shower. So easy to fill up and empty. No mess and no back ache. Highly recommend for anyone without a bath. Show details
No More Phantom Crying – So you know when a mum says she has not washed her hair in days? Not me! My baby loves this chair so much, he literally falls asleep in it. And I do not have to worry about phantom crying because he is right there with me. Best purchase I made as a second-time mum. Show details
Rust everywhere! – I bought charli chair original at Big W and used it first time last night! I was excited. I was happy that it was very convenient to shower with my little girl. She enjoyed the shower she is 10 months and started to learn standing up in her whale bath tub. I bought charli shower chair as it seems easier to use than bending on my knees bathing… Read more
her in the bath tub.
I was happy first time user. I even ordered one for my sister as she is due in the next two weeks.
Then. To my horror and I’m really frustrated I lifted the charli chair to move it and rust came from the legs - in my disbelief - I lifted it trying to convince myself it was not from the chair and something else. But There was nothing else rust was coming from the legs.
Omg! I washed off the rust on the tiles and lifted the chair out to rinsed the floor. No luck - I put the chair on the mat - my Sheridan shower mat - far out - the rust went everywhere! And yes in my mat! Bloody rust!
I think there is serious mis representation about your rust proof legs - it is obviously not rust proof.
The chair was not even soaked in water or something. I have used it once and it rusted over night! It was stored outside shower after used. Omg!
Is it the case the outside legs are rust proof but the inside legs (where the holes are to adjust height) are rusty!!
very frustrating!
would not recommend! I wish they will improve this as I can see it could be functional but who can live with rust? So annoying too.

Worst bath ever! – We were genuinely so excited to use the CharliChair as both my husband and I have bad backs and thought it was a great alternative. We decided to wait to use it until our baby was 8 weeks old as we thought she was too small initially for the chair (even though she is average weight for her age). It was the worst experience, same as all the other… Read more
parents - baby gets cold straight away the water barely covered her, you have to lift them out to clean bum/back so they scream even more and your flooding your bathroom with every splash/movement. Not to mention the straps are useless and just get in the way. Definitely won’t be using it again, save yourself the trouble!
Waste of money – I was so excited to get our Charli Chair as it look like such a good product! We were bitterly disappointed. Firstly, you get soaking wet trying to bath your child in it. Second, you can't clean behind your baby. Third, it doesn't sit up enough, so when your lo is a big bigger they still have to lie down. Forth, the addition seat to create a… Read more
bath is just a waste, its not deep enough, so bub gets cold. Finally, the business is only interested in helping you if you have positive comments! I spent $240 on a product I can't use and can't seem to sell either! Good marketing, poor product.
Delux version not that functional – So I bought this chair in the Delux 2 in 1 version thinking what a great invention. Fast forward to bringing bub home from hospital, where he loved baths, and the bath option doesn't even cover bubs tummy with water so he gets cold and I'm forced to rush what should be an enjoyable experience, plus it doesn't hold on a newborn well enough for me… Read more
to safely use two hands and hard to clean their back and bottom. My baby is average size and I used with the charlichair insert. Charlichair, you guys need to plug up those holes on the backrest up top so water can actually stay in to act as a bath like you claim. Feeling ripped off with the pricetag and going today to buy a proper baby bath.
Absolutely Fantastic Baby Chair – We have just had a new baby and this chair is terrific for my wife to quick wash the baby in the shower, as she cant bend down to a bath with her soreness. I place the baby in it next to the sink at night while quickly making her a bottle, (Have you ever tried to make a bottle with one hand while holding the baby in the other? Solved) or put her… Read more
down for a sec while I quickly change the linen in her cot. It's just a mobile, elevated resting spot to quickly put your baby down while you're in the middle of something. I cant believe there's nothing quite like it anywhere on the $billion baby product market and is so helpful in our home.
2 in 1 version a winner – We have the 2 in 1 version for our bub and we love it. We have a small shower and it fits in there no problem. Bub is 12 weeks old and we have used this since newborn. The harness on.its smallest setting is too big for her at the moment though so we stand in front of the chair and keep a very close eye on her. I.love that there is the bathtub… Read more
option and u can remove the plug to use as a shower.
Our baby is happy in the shower. Love the charli chair and highly recommend.
I come out of the shower with energy now! – Before the CharliChair arrived, showering involved sitting cross legged on the floor of the shower recess with my (large for his age) 16 week old son across my legs, using a hand held shower hose. It was exhausting! Highly recommended if you don't have a bath in your house! My son loves it and so do I!
Not Suitable For a Newborn – We just tried the CharliChair on our newborn for the first time. While at hospital, our baby loved the bath. She basically fell asleep inside it and was settled and sleepy after = perfect. We got home and thought we'd give the CharliChair a go. She cried like a demon once seated inside it. The harness seemed to be cutting into her head whenever… Read more
she rolled to the side and we found it IMPOSSIBLE to clean behind her, especially in her bum where it's most important. In the end, we gave up and had to take her out of the shower. We're now in the process of trying to calm her down, while I'm on the computer putting the CharliChair up on Gumtree. Avoid this product for newborns.
Best invention ever!! – Thanks to the Charli chair I can bath my newborn with ease after my operation. No lifting water into a bath tub required!!! Love my Charli chair.
Fantastic alternative to a baby bath! – The charli chair is great! So much easier than bathing bubba in the bath - no bending down required, easy to adjust and use. Highly recommend getting the soft insert though for extra comfort. Seems to be made of quality, hard-wearing material. It was a bit of a hassle to build, but worth the effort!
