Wondering if I should return this item

in 3rd Trimester

When registering at BRU, I registered for both a bathtub set (the bigger, stay-at-home type) and a lesser expensive, foldable, "travel" tub to take along if we visited either set of our parents or had to stay somewhere overnight, etc.  Well, we received the small travel one, and the more I look at it, the more I wonder if I really need it.  Have any of you found having a "permanent" tub and a "portable" tub helpful?  Or is the portable tub unneccessary?

Thanx!

    portable seems unnecessary.

    I am planning just to use the tub or sink at my parents house when we travel.

    My SIL uses a portable tub. I think she's used it since birth and when he hit about 6.5 or 7 months, she just used the sink. He's sitting up on his own now, so I'm thinking a portable one will be the easiest. I'm hoping she just passes it right on down to me!

    We didn't get a tub for travel until we went on vacation and DD was 9-10 months old. Even then, it was inflatable. If we were at my parents or anywhere over night she either didn't get a bath or if she really needed it we bathed her in the sink.

    The bathtub is so small, you could take it with you anywhere.  Anytime we visited someone, we just used the sink and it worked perfectly.  I'd return the portable one.

    See I see it the other way around... the smaller foldable ones make much more sense to me than thepermanent type you are referring to.  I do agree that you do not need two but I would keep the foldable small one.

    I'm planning on using the sink at home, so I'm not even registering for a big bulky tub--just a bath sling that will support LO in in the sink.

    never needed a portable one w/DD;  went to FL to stay w/my grandmother for a week and just bathed her in the kitchen sink w/a towel on the bottom to help w/slipping.  For a week it was doable.  When she stayed overnite at my parents' they did the same.  If I were staying in a hotel I'd just shower w/her (usually wrapped in a towel to help w/the slippy-baby factor.

    portable seems way unnecessary to me..never had one with DD and never needed it. When we were somewhere else we would just hold her in the sink... or when she was a little older bring her in the shower with us.

    This is what I was thinking too.
