Sink inserts: These tubs are designed to be used in a bathroom or kitchen sink, which saves you from stooping over or kneeling next to your regular tub. This may be particularly useful for moms with c-section incisions. These types of tubs are usually made of foam, fabric and other soft materials and sit in the sink to keep your baby cushioned and comfy.

Of course, some parents love to get right in the tub and bathe with their babies. That's fine, as long as you're careful. But it's not always convenient, and you'll have to keep your slippery baby from hurting herself. Instead, you may want to try one of these types of bathtubs. Portability:A portable tub can be a great choice for families that travel often or just need to be able to move the tub around the house. Foldable bathtubs are space savers when not in use, and they’re also easier to take with you when leaving the house. You should also look for hooks on baby bathtubs for easy storage.The best baby bathtubs offer a safe and comfortable bathing experience, whether they’re used in a large sink or in the shower/tub area. There are a variety of options available, including baby bathtubs for newborns and tubs that will help with toddler bathtime, too. Depending on what you’re looking for, there’s a baby bathtub that will best fit your bath routine, budget and home. How we chose the best baby bathtubs Caregivers in the WTE community rave about the Blooming Bath seat for how easy it is to use and how comfortable it is for their babies. Because it’s not a structured tub, it will fit in almost any sink, turning the space into a comfy bath space for your little one. The petals form contoured sides that keep your baby in place, and the seat has anti-slip beads on the bottom to stay put.

For many families, bathtime is an essential part of the daily routine. A good soak in the tub (and getting dried off with a fluffy baby towel after) is the best way to clean up the mess caused by diaper blowouts and spit up, as well as a nice way to help your little one wind down before bed. Although you can just use the sink or the bathtub you have as their bathing space, many parents feel more comfortable using a baby bathtub to keep their child more contained. Parents find that it’s pretty easy to install (though it seems confusing at first), and you can even leave it in place if you want to. Some reviewers also like that this seat allows for younger and older babies to be in the tub together, which might make bathtime easier if you have multiple children. “I can have the water as high as my oldest likes, and it's not too high for my littlest,” one person wrote. It also allows parents to fully use their hands — you don’t have to worry about holding your baby up, and you also don’t have to stress over whether or not a small tub is going to flip over. Safety: The most important thing to consider with a baby bathtub is how safe it will be for your little one (remember, infants can drown even in a small amount of water in a bathtub). Going along with guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), we selected tubs with rounded edges to prevent baby from getting cut or bruised, and tubs that are free from protrusions that jut out and could hurt baby. We also prioritized bathtubs with additional safety features, like non-slip bottoms that can keep a tub in one place. You'll find a lot of choices for baby tubs these days: tubs designed specifically to fit in a kitchen sink, tubs with sling inserts to hold infants, tubs that fold flat, and even tubs that can tell you the temperature of the water so there's no guessing required.Parents love that this tub comes with a hook for easy storage and drying, as well as a convenient drain to ensure all of the water comes out. It’s large enough to comfortably sit in a tub, but also fits in many sinks. I don’t have a regular sized bathtub in my house, and I personally have been using this option for my daughter since she was 3-months-old. Once the infant insert is removed, it becomes a tub of open space that is ideal for a toddler who likes to move around. My now-18-month-old loves splashing around in the tub. There’s plenty of room in there for them to play but still be contained, and a non-slip bottom keeps it firmly in place. It’s very easy to clean and the silicone plug at the bottom makes it simple to drain without worrying about baby’s skin snagging. At barely three pounds, it’s also super lightweight, which makes it easy to clean and move around. “The size and weight makes it easy to turn the tub over to dump the water out,” Leah says. “The plug on the side is also super convenient if you don't have a partner around to help you or you're dealing with postpartum pain.”
