Baby Bathtubs

Bathing can be a fun filled, exciting activity for a baby that he looks forward to and enjoys, or it can be intimidating for both the infant as well as his parents. If you buy a bathtub especially designed to suit your baby's small body, you will help make the procedure comfortable and enjoyable for him.

If you accept the fact that you are most likely not going to remain dry, you can enjoy your baby’s bath as much as he does. There are lots and lots of bath tubs available in the market making it a very confusing situation when trying to choose just one for your bundle of joy.

Bathing a baby is not everyone’s’ cup of tea, but if you are nervous and afraid while bathing your baby, he will notice it and will not enjoy the experience.

It takes a bit of practice for every parent to be comfortable while bathing their babies but a lot depends on the selection of the right bath tub for you and your baby. There are many things to look for in an infant bath tub such as the safety and comfort of the baby, easy drainage, places to keep soap and accessories, and the size of the tub.

The First Years’ Infant to Toddler Tub with Sling

If you are looking for a bath tub that grows with your baby, this is the tub for you. It comes attached with a sling that is adjustable and allows babies to fit in snugly as they are developing and growing. Another great feature of the tub is its comfort to you as you can fit it into a double kitchen sink so that you do not have to bend over all the time to bathe your baby.

It is easy to drain all the water as there is a plug provided at the bottom. Another great feature is its color changing ability to warn you if the water is too hot for the baby; the dark pink plug turns white if the water is too hot. It is available in stores and online for under $20.00.

Fisher Price Precious Planet Whale of a Tub

Available at just $15.99, this is a fun bath tub designed in the shape of a whale for a complete fun bathing experience. It is contoured inside to provide maximum comfort for the baby while bathing.

It has a soft, non slip surface that provides comfort and does not allow the baby to slip while he is inside the tub. It weighs less than 4 pounds, which is manageable mom when she is trying to bathe the baby on her own. It fits in double sinks or full sized bathtubs, providing the convenience for mom.

PRI Infant Bath Seat

If you are extremely concerned about the safety of your little one while bathing, this is one bath tub you would love as it has support for the baby’s arms and legs, and cradles him while he is splashing in the water.

This seat can be put into both a sink as well as a large bath tub. It has suction cups that hold the tub in its place. It can easily hold babies up to 18 pounds. It is an inexpensive bath tub available for just $12.00.

If we compare the three bath tubs, we find that Precious Planet Whale by Fisher Price is the most comfortable while PRI is the most secure bath tub. Infant to toddler wins by virtue of being adjustable as moms do not need a new bath tub when the baby grows. Price comparisons really don’t factor in too much here, as the prices don’t vary greatly.
