Can a 'normal' 3 year old climb into a bath by themselves?

[FairyTaleinNewYork]

obviously they wouldnt be unsupervised but can a normal phycially able 3yr old climb in and out of a bath unaided?

FTINY - My friends ds did!! Remember the scalding hot bath incident?

But my ds is 4.5yrs old and he can't (or doesn't want to try) climb in the bath himself.

my dd can and she is 2.5

my ds will be 3 in April and he's just started doing this.

climbing and physical stuff hasn't been his strengh so I doubt he's above average, although he is tall! I'm sure long legs help!

Mine could - can't remember what age it started at though. In easier than out!

Why Misdee???

DD can but I do make sure she uses a little stool when doing it as I feel it is safer that way.

thanks. can they do it safely? (apart from the scalding water incident ) i am fiulling in my dd2 disability forms and i have to lift her in and out of the bath as she cant do it safely (falls flat on her face), and need to compare her to a normal/typical child of the same age.

mine can.

ds wouldn't fall flat on face. he is pretty reliable.

she can, but only recently and she's only just 3.

but baths are very slippy....

My 2.8 year old can and does (with me there cringing)

i know they are. but she is hefty. its back breaking work.

Dd has just turned 3 and she wants to climb in by herself - I'm sure she could do it, but I won't let her because I'm not convinced she could climb in safely (ie staying upright). I think it would be dangerous in any case. I wouldn't let ds climb in unassisted until he was about 4, and even now, age 5, I don't allow him to climb in or out without dh or me being in the room with him.

dd is nearly 4 and can't, but we do have awkward taps in the middle of the edge of the bath (IYSWIM), which prevent her swinging her leg over!

yes
my 2.3 ds can
is this a competition?

unfortunatly not a competition, see post further down as to why.

mine can't, she is 3

but she is not very good at stairs or kerbs (!) either and cries

i dont ahve stairs to worry about lol. i am on the bathing/washing/dressing section atm.

so can yours dress themselves or have a good attempt?

coat - yes

pulls up pants/knickers (badly)

sock/shoes?

My DS2 could do it with relative ease at the age of three, misdee, and he's not exactly athletic, so if you are having to lift your daughter in and out, I would definitely put that on the form.

oh I see
my ds1 is a big hefty oaf and couldn't do it til he was over 3 if that's any use

My ds is 3 and he tries but I have to help him.

ds2, just 2 yrs can and could for the last while.

Drres themselves? Pretty much she can - can't do fiddly buttons or start off zips. She struggles a bit with tights. Can put shoes on but can only fasten in velcro of Doodles type.
