Why Choose a Baby Bath Tub?

A baby bath tub is a small, shaped bath that supports your baby and uses far less water than a full-size bath. Newborn baths such as the Shnuggle Baby Bath and Skip Hop Moby Bathtub cradle your baby in the right position, while foldable baths such as the Stokke Flexi Bath and Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus fold away when bath time is over. Add a bath stand to bring the bath up to waist height, which is easier on your back, especially in the weeks after birth. Whatever bath you choose, always stay within arm's reach of your baby.

Use-Cases and Compatibility

The right bath depends on your baby's age, your bathroom and where you want to bath them.

- For newborns

Newborn baths and supports hold your baby in a safe, reclined position. Look at the Shnuggle Baby Bath, Skip Hop Moby Bathtub or Angelcare Baby Bath Support.

- For small bathrooms and travel

Foldable baths store flat behind a door or in the car. The Stokke Flexi Bath and Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus Foldable Bath both fold away and suit babies up to around 4 years.

- For bathing at waist height

A bath stand saves bending over the bath. Pair the Shnuggle Bath Stand, Stokke Flexi Bath Stand or Maxi-Cosi Indigo Bath Stand with the matching bath, or choose the Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus Bath and Stand set.

- For babies who can sit

Once your baby can sit up unaided, a bath seat such as the Angelcare Baby Bath Seat gives extra support in the big bath. A bath seat is a bathing aid, not a safety device, so stay with your baby at all times.

Looking After Your Baby Bath

Keeping your bath clean and dry helps prevent mould and keeps bath time hygienic. Always check the care instructions for your specific model.

Rinse and dry after use - Empty the bath, rinse it and let it dry completely before folding or storing.

Clean supports and inserts - Wipe foam and mesh supports and let them drain and dry between baths.

Check suction and feet - Check suction cups, non-slip feet and stand locks regularly.

Store it safely - Store folding baths and stands out of reach of older children.

What to Check Before You Buy:

- How long it will last

Some baths suit only the newborn months, while others last until around 4 years.

- Storage space

If space is tight, choose a foldable bath that stores flat.

- Height

Consider a bath stand if you want to bath your baby at waist height.

- Safe bathing

Always test the water with your elbow or a thermometer, use only a small amount of water and never leave your baby alone, even for a moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best baby bath for a newborn?

For a newborn, choose a bath or support that holds your baby in a reclined position, such as the Shnuggle Baby Bath, Skip Hop Moby Bathtub with its mesh sling, or a foldable bath with a newborn insert such as the Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus or Stokke Flexi Bath. The right choice also depends on your storage space and whether you want to use a stand.

---

How long can a baby use a baby bath?

It depends on the model. Newborn baths such as the Shnuggle suit babies to 12 months and beyond, while foldable baths such as the Stokke Flexi Bath and Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus can be used until around 4 years.

---

Do I need a bath stand?

A bath stand is optional, but it brings the bath to waist height so you don't have to kneel or bend, which many parents find easier, especially after a caesarean. The Shnuggle Bath Stand raises the bath to around 72cm from the floor.

---

Are baby bath seats safe?

Bath seats and supports are bathing aids, not safety devices. They help hold your baby in position, but babies can drown quickly in a small amount of water, so you must stay within arm's reach and never leave your baby alone in the bath, even for a moment.

---

What temperature should a baby's bath be?

Baby bath water should feel warm, not hot, at around 37 to 38°C. Always test the water with your elbow or a bath thermometer before putting your baby in. Some baths, such as the Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus and Roger Armstrong Aquascale, have a built-in thermometer.

---

Can I use a baby bath in the kitchen sink?

Some compact baths are designed to fit in a sink. The Shnuggle Baby Bath fits inside most kitchen sinks and uses only around 2 litres of water. Always make sure the bath is stable before you start.

---

How do I clean a baby bath?

Empty and rinse the bath after each use, wipe it with mild soap if needed and let it dry completely before storing. Let foam and mesh supports drain and dry between baths to prevent mould.
