How To
Choose a Baby Bathtub
|

Choosing a baby bathtub is likely one of the
easiest decisions you'll have to make when it comes to acquiring
supplies for the new arrival. Basically, if it holds water, you're all
set.
There is little in the way of advantages to baby bathtub designs. Your
basic tub shape, made of sturdy plastic, preferably with a drain plug
in the bottom, will do you for quite a while. About the only essential
differences, are whether the tub comes with one end that is built up so
you can lay an infant back against the elevation, while washing them
with water from lower down in the tub.
This style of baby bathtub, may come with a non-slip padded surface
that doesn't mildew with use, but which may take a while to dry
afterwards. Alternately, you can get “chairs” that are frames with
terrycloth covers that create a tilted rest for your child, so you can
wash them with ease, and rinse out and hang the cover when you're done.
Any tub that has a reasonable lip to it, for easy moving or carrying,
is handy, although sizes do vary some, and you may want to measure them
against where you plan to bath your baby. If you have a bathroom
counter that will allow the space for a tub and laying the baby
afterwards, you're all set. But if your space is limited, and standing
at a sink is more comfortable, you might want a tub that is sized to
fit in the sink itself, so that you can lay the baby on the cupboard
afterwards. Working this way is also easier on a parent's back, than
placing the tub on the bathroom floor.
Some parents will also choose a baby bathtub that folds up, for when
they are traveling or visiting relatives. If you are interested in
these, surf the Internet for the brand name, and see what consumer
reports and user reviews have to say. Check for essential points such
as whether there is leakage where the ends of the tub fold in, and if
the tub comes with locking mechanisms that prevent an accidental
collapse.
