When did ou do this? I think Abby's just about outgrown her blue tub and I'm afraid to put her in the big tub!! Did you put one of those mats down so they don't slip? I'm terrified she's going to slip forward or someothing. How high up do you fill the tub, too? To the waist? Lower?
Thanks!!

yeah, this is what happened the other day. actually, we used a tub my mom gave us that has a little spa motor in it, and abby slipped all the way forward and smacked her face into the motor part. she wasn't too happy about it! i felt sooo bad. lol i'll have to get one of those ring things..
thanks for that link, jen! i'll have to see it in person. abby squirms so much, i would be afraid of her get over those little bumps!
We used a bath ring around 6 months and I highly recommend using one. It made bath time fun and easy and Riley loved it!
Just recently all I've been using is a tub mat from target. https://www.target.com/Circo-Rainbow-Fish-Tub-Mat/dp/B001JK8KMA/sr=1-1/qid=1246069710/ref=sr_1_1/186-9521714-2678745?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Afish%20circo%20bath%20mat&page=1
It works great!
Have you seen the duck tubs? They are 15 bucks and you just blow them up. When Zachary outgrew his infant tub we used this tub because he was sitting up on his own but I was still worried about him falling. I still worry about him slipping so we've continued to use the duck and I really like it. It is very convenient and easy so I'll just use it until he outgrows it. We put it in the big tub so that he gets used to the idea of being in the big tub

I highly recommend then Duck Tub that Karen recommended. They sell it at Target for $9.99, it's inflatable and basically sits in the big tub until you feel more comfortable to have her in the big tub alone. We used the duck tub from 7-12 months, and then put her on a bath mat in the big tub.
We have this First Years Infant to Toddler tub. It looks like it's going to work for quite a while.
I like the idea of the ring in the tub too. I'm scared to put him in the big tub by himself.
Sometimes he just flops over without warning!
Hi, we started off with the fisher price rainforest tub; then at about 10 months, because he started to want to stand up and the rainforest didn't have any grip to the bigger tub, we found this at IKEA:
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70098121
It was just perfect, has grip both in and on the bottom, so if he stands, or grips the sides in an attempt to stand, he has grip and it doesn't tip over like the rainforest wanted to...Also, when filled, it is super sturdy and hard to move because of the grip on the bottom. We also only fill up up to about his belly button, cause it holds a lot of water. After this one, probablt transition to the tub. Our LO is 31" tall and when he sits in it, he still has plenty of room for him and toys..take care,
