Help! I suddenly need a baby bathtub! Please rec. yours

noryang

OK. So it has been confirmed that the water sucks big time at our next post. I am used to this from our last tour BUT didn't have a little one to worry about in the bath. Her go-to move is to put her hands and wash cloth in her mouth instantly.

This just isn't safe with water that isn't potable. SO...I will need to boil her bath water before use. This means that I need a stand alone baby bath tub rather than the kind that you can only use inside of an adult tub.

Can anyone recommend yours?

 

ETA: It needs to be a tub that can last a while in terms of size. I may be boiling bath water for the next two years or until I can trust her not to get water in her mouth.

Here's an Amazon list to the one we use, by summer infant. like it because it folds away in the closet, and it's easy to convert when LOs are able to sit up. It's big enough she could stillbe using it at 2. The only downside Is that you have to blow up the inside like a baby pool, but it only takes a minute, and if you don't need to fold it you can leave it inflated.

I can't make a link (on phone) but we have the Summer Infant Right Height Center tub.  It doesn't collapse but is large enough that LO will be able to use it for a while.  So far it's worked well for us.

Ditto on this!!!  The little infant "seat" is awesome.  It keeps Ben totally supported and the little back on the back keeps him from sliding around.  He can splish and splash without me holding him.  He loves it.  And when he can sit up on his own, the infant "seat" comes out and he has the deeper side of the tub.

I have this one now too. I love that it folds up and that it will be great when LO is older, but I hate that right now he rolls from side to side, and it is hard to keep him steady. Maybe my LO is just squirmy.

I have the Safety First 4-stage infant bathtub, and I do not like it very much.  DD constantly is sliding down on the infant sling in the tub and it terrifies me.  I'm not sure how the other tubs are at keeping babies in position, but I imagine that there's got to be a tub out there that's better than the one I've been using.

Used the whale tub till ds was 18 months and wanted to bathe with me. Affordable and practical.

I have the same one and love it. Air isn't hitting him in the tub so he doesn't scream from being cold ( my mom has one where there is a net thing and he gets so cold from the air hitting him) and the little thing in the middle keeps him propped up which makes everything so much easier
