ABSTRACT:
The disclosed apparatus is a safety device preventing a toddler from entering a bathtub. The apparatus provides an obstruction to a child comprising netting stretched across the entry side of the tub supported by tubing. The netting and tubing are in turn supported by horseshoe shaped clamps that are secured to the upper entry lip of the tub by suction cups. In addition, the horizontal ends of the tubing may be secured to the tub enclosure walls by suction cups. The tubing may be presized to fit specific tub dimensions or adjustable to be used with tubs with a variety of dimensions. For tubs that have an end (or ends) that are not enclosed by a wall, an extension is available incorporating similar netting and tubing and horseshoe shaped clamp together with suction cups to secure the extension to the tub and wall.
