Use-Cases and Compatibility

The right baby bath depends on your baby's age, the space you have and where you like to bath them.

- For newborns and the first months

A bathing tub for newborns should hold your baby semi-reclined with their head above the water. The Shnuggle Baby Bath uses its bum bump to stop your baby sliding, the Skip Hop Moby Smart Sling 3-Stage Baby Bath cradles newborns in its mesh sling, and the Bubble Cuddle Bath with Bath Seat comes with a removable newborn insert.

- For using the big bath

If you'd rather use the family bath, a bath support holds a young baby in position. The Angelcare Baby Bath Support, Angelcare Baby Bath Support Fit and Shnuggle Newborn Baby Bath Support suit babies from birth to 6 months (up to 9kg). Once your baby can sit unaided, the Angelcare Baby Bath Seat gives extra support.

- For bathing at waist height

A bath stand lifts the tub so you're not kneeling or bending. Each bath stand is made for a specific bath: the Shnuggle Bath Stand raises the Shnuggle Baby Bath to about 72cm, the Maxi Cosi Indigo Bath Stand brings the Indigo Plus to one metre with a drainage pipe, and the Roger Armstrong Aquascale Bath Stand and Roger Armstrong Oasis Bath Stand pair with their matching baths. Sets such as the Shnuggle Bath & Stand and Maxi Cosi Indigo Plus Foldable Bath and Stand come together.

- For small bathrooms and growing toddlers

Short on space? The Maxi Cosi Indigo Plus Foldable Bath folds flat and hangs up. When your baby outgrows their first bath and sits confidently, the Shnuggle Toddler Bath fits most shower trays and a wide range of baths (it isn't suitable for the Shnuggle Bath Stand).

Keeping Your Baby Bath Clean and Fresh

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

Empty and rinse - Empty the bath straight after use, rinse it and never leave water standing in it.

Dry completely - Let the bath dry fully before folding or storing; many models, including the Skip Hop Moby and Indigo Plus, hang up to dry.

Supports and inserts - Let foam, mesh and quick-dry supports drain and dry between baths, and wipe them over with mild soap when needed.

Check the grip - Check suction cups, non-slip feet, stand locks and safety straps regularly, and replace worn parts.

What to Check Before You Buy:

- How long it will last

Some baby baths suit the first 6 to 12 months, while others, such as the Indigo Plus and Mininor, are designed to last until around 4 years.

- Newborn support

Check whether a newborn sling, insert or seat is included, or whether you'll need a separate bath support.

- Bath stand compatibility

Most bath stands fit only their matching bath, so choose the bath and bath stand together if you want to bath at waist height.

- Safe bathing

Babies can drown in a few centimetres of water. Never leave your baby unattended in or near water, not even for a moment, and always check the water temperature before your baby goes in.
