Fisher-Price® 4-In-1 Sling 'N Seat Tub

Product Information

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.

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. 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. We have the Fisher Price one from our first and loved it. We would fill it so the bottom part of the sling was in the water and we kept the bathroom really warm so no fear of little one getting cold. I liked that it grew with our daughter and she used it until about a year, which was longer than necessary, but more convenient and water saving for us. I also loved the hook it has. After bath, we would wipe it down and hang it on the curtain rod to dry/ get it out of the way.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 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.”

Best Baby Bathtubs and Bath Seats of 2023 - What to Expect 7 Best Baby Bathtubs and Bath Seats of 2023 - What to Expect

Versatility: A tub that can only be used for newborns up to, say, four months, obviously isn’t going to go very far —and may feel like a waste of money. We chose tubs that are versatile with inserts or slings that can be taken out, as well as adjustable features to make the tubs larger or removable seats that can be used in your main bathtub. 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.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.
