Baby Tubs Features
There are five main styles of baby tubs: standard, infant bath cradle/seat, inflatable, contoured, and wash pods. We want to share details and highlights in our key features and reviews of the best models.
With the standard type bathtubs for babies, the baby generally lies down in a flat tub for easy washing. The 4Moms Clearwater Infant Tub is designed for newborns up to six months old babies who weigh less than 25 pounds. A feature on this infant tub is the used water drains as clean water flows in for a continual supply of clean water. A built-in thermometer is colored code for reaching a safe water temperature before placing the baby in the tub. The code blue means the bathwater is too cold. The color green is for jump in the water’s fine. Red stands for stop; the bath is excessively hot for baby!
An infant bath seat/cradle is small and designed for newborns and babies up to 6 months old. The seat allows the baby to be safely bathed and can be used in sinks, on counters, or with adults in a regular bathtub. The Munching White Hot Safety Baby Bath Cradle comes with a safety disk for water temperature. A special feature parents appreciate is the infant cradle fills and drains very quickly.
An inflatable tub is ideal for traveling. The Summer Infant Newborn-To-Toddler Inflatable Baby Tub with Sling makes the tub useful for cleaning newborns babies to toddler age. The sling is in place to help keep infants from slipping in the water.
Contoured tubs are designed to fit to the shape of your baby and prevent slip sliding away! The Primo European Baby tubs with dual usage design permits it to be used for newborns to 2 year olds! In the baby pool end, babies lie down with arms and legs supported to prevent slipping. On the big boy or girl end, older children enjoy bathing and splashing in safety. The large size Primo baby tubs feature a built in drain and suction cups at the bottom to hold the tub in place.
A wash pod bathtub resembles a bucket and is designed to help baby sit in a fetal position. The baby can naturally sit in the warm water that simulates the womb. This type is popular in European countries and is gaining popularity in the United States. An example of this style is the Prince Lion heart wash pod bath.
