It can be overwhelming to choose the right bathtub for your baby, and with all the warnings about constant supervision of your baby and the risk of drowning, even quite frightening. It was actually several months after giving our baby countless baths and working our way through two other bathtubs that we finally bought the right one – the Primo EuroBath.
We started off with the standard plastic bath for infants (the Safety 1st Comfy Bath Center), which was great until our baby reached about six months old and outgrew it. We had received an inflatable tub (Safety 1st Kirby Inflatable Tub) for the next stage, and it was inexpensive but awful – inflating it took forever, the plastic valves hardly stayed closed, and the bathtub leaked from somewhere. I came across the EuroBath and from the description, wished I had bought it from the start. Once we bought it I was hooked. This bath has a unique shape that allows it to be used on one side for infants (there is an incline) and on the other side for babies up to two years old. The side for older babies allows the toddler to sit up, with a raised bump between the legs to hold them in place. My baby just LOVES to sit in the tub; he sometimes even holds onto the plastic bump, and I feel reassured that he will not slip and fall backwards (though supervision is required, of course).
The EuroBath is a bit larger than traditional baby bathtubs and so it can be quite heavy when filled with water, but I just use a plastic container to first remove some of the water to lighten it up and then dump out the rest. It also has a hole so that you can hang it up on a hook (we just keep ours upside-down in the tub).
I wish I had done some more research before buying a baby tub, because I would have started off with Primo’s EuroBath hands down! This baby bathtub can be purchased in white or blue from Amazon for $25 USD or from these online retailers.
