I live in Chicago in a 2 bed/bath condo. As space is limited I am looking for a baby bath that can be compact when we aren't using it. We have a double sink. Any recos are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
A puj tub will only work for when they are very small. I skipped that altogether (my sink was too big for a puj tub anyway). I use a pad in the actual bathtub. It works perfectly and DS will already used to the big tub for when he is finally sitting up to enjoy it. The one I use is this one:
Folding bath sling in the big tub. Or one of the folding mesh bath seats that are reclined.
We used a small sling in a plastic bath tub we bought at ikea then we transitioned to the reclined bath seat in the big tub.
The Boon Naked folds up and hangs for storage. We have this and really like it, but really, you don't need a tub. It's just as easy to shower with DD or bathe together. If space is really an issue, I'd get the Puj tub to use while your baby is really small and then just use the regular bath when they are a bit sturdier.

We use this one now that LO is a little bigger and is easier to handle when wet. I just put it in the bottom of the sink and it keeps him from sliding around while I try to wash him. https://www.amazon.com/green-sprouts-Baby-Bath-Mat/dp/B005OUIT5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362112893&sr=8-1&keywords=baby+bath+mat
When he was younger (up to 3 mos old) we used this. It was a little to big for our sink but I made it work. https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12268558.
