Best Baby Bathtub for tight space?

[Sunspot]

Hi, We are looking for best baby bathtub for small bathroom. I'm not sure Puj will work in our sink. Any other recommendations for tubs? Ones that might be good for newborns too? Thank you!:kisscheek:

I don't think this will work in your sink, but it would in your tub. we have used this with DS and really like it. It's inflatable, so it can just disappear if you want it to.

I've been happy with it. I found it recommended a couple of years ago on the BBB.

I know you said you wanted a smaller one, but we really loved our Eurotub. We used it in the bathtub and then when not in use we just stored it in the bathtub with the shower curtain closed or under his crib. My DS used it from newborn to age 18 months or so. Some families on here have used it longer. We had a small bathroom and small house at the time. But, we stilled loved using the Eurotub. We just used it in the tub and used a gardening kneeling pad to kneel on when giving DS a bath.;)

after dealing with a little boy who HATED baths, we were desperately looking for a solution. We found this http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-washPOD-Bathe-Blue/dp/B000QIJ020/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1301170803&sr=8-1 and he LOVED it ( he was INCREDIBLY!!!!! calm in it).

We didn't deliberately search something out that was small, but this is by far the smallest baby bath tub that we've found. We used until he was about 6 months old, so not a super long time, but long enough to get him to an age where we could transition him over to the "regular" home bath tub.

I am intrigued by this fold up tub, it has good reviews, but I haven't personally tried it.

I highly recommend this:

Leachco Safer Bather Infant Bath Pad, Blue Fish by Leachco, Inc.

We use it right in our kitchen sink, still at 1 year old. It dries super fast just from hanging (and has a built in hanger).

We have this tub (in red) and LOVE it. Worth every penny. It folds very easily, the bottom of the tub is not slick so baby/toddler doesn't slide around. We have taken it on vacation. My almost 2 year old still uses it.

We were satisfied with the simple, cheap Summer Infant mesh bath sling from BRU. Not a baby bath, more like a lounger that you put in the regular tub.
Sprog was a chilled-out bather from the beginning and we have always been in the tub with her. I'm not sure, if she'd struggled against baths, maybe we'd have wanted something more substantial.

One reason we really liked it was our tiny bathroom. We could never put up with a big baby tub. There's a towel rack in our bath/shower (no idea why) and we just stored the sling hanging from that by some of those plastic baby links. Took up no space and was able to drip-dry.

Would it be worth it to purchase this at 18 mos? We'd like something to use in a stall shower, just not sure we'd get enough use at this point. Thanks! Nice to hear from someone that actually has it!

My daughter is 22 months and I figure we will probably get another year's use out of it. Even though she can sit in the big tub now, I do like how much less water I need for the folding tub. We also travel a lot to places that only seem to have showers so I like that we can easily take the tub with us. I don't know if that answers your question or not. DD is our third and last child so I am not sure I would buy a new one at 18 months. If I was planning on having another child or had a family member I could hand it down to then I wouldn't hesitate to buy it at this age.

The flexibath looks great, but does it work with newborns? I'm looking for good newborn bath that will last and is compact if such a thing exists? :)

We used the bathroom sink as long as dd would fit (I think until about 3 months) and then started using the flexibath after that.

I had a $10 off coupon so I went ahead and ordered one. If he can use it for 1+ yrs, that would be great. Based on the points you made, it sounds like it will be a great fit for us. Thanks! Will let you know how it goes.

OP--I have seen pictures of people using this tub with newborns, they just put something like this on the bottom:

Personally I think this tub sounds great, if you can make it work from NB until 2 or 3! I really haven't seen anything else like it, for small spaces or travel.
