Baby Bath Checklist
- There are classic hard bathtubs, inflatable bathtubs, and foldable baby tubs. The hard plastic bathtub is extremely sturdy and usually ergonomically shaped for better handling . A stand and a drain plug add to the comfort. An additional or sometimes built-in seat shell helps your baby stay upright.
- This type of bathtub is especially suitable for children up to 12 months. Inflatable bathtubs have a very soft edge, which is difficult for your child to hold on to, they are very practical especially for use in the shower, and are ideal for children over 12 months. Foldable baby tubs are a good choice if you have little space, but also offer your baby little support.
- An additional stand ensures that you can give your baby a back-friendly bath. It’s good if the stand can be folded and is height-adjustable. A soap holder is also practical. A plug for draining water and a drain hose saves you a lot of work.
- On some models, the drain plug discolors when the temperature rises above 40 degrees Celsius. A bathtub insert that gives you more freedom of movement is especially helpful for babies. An integrated anti-slip zone also makes bathing with your little treasure much easier.
- If you decide on a bathtub without a stand, it is important that the floor is such that the tub cannot slip away. In case of doubt, a non-slip mat can help.
- The tub should have no sharp edges and be free of harmful substances . Make sure that no plasticizers or bisphenol compounds have been used in its manufacture. Look for appropriate test seals.
- For newborns and babies up to 8 months of age, the tub should be about 80 cm long. For older children, you should choose a correspondingly larger model. These can also be used with a baby seat for small babies.

Bath Tub Advice
Which Baby Bath Is Right For Me?
As you can see, there is a huge selection of different bathtub models for babies. In the following, I would like to help you decide which bathtub is right for you so that you will be satisfied with it for a long time. To do this, you first need to answer only one question.
What type of bathtub are you?
The first decision you should make is whether you would like to have a single bathtub or a complete bathtub set. The advantage of complete sets is that everything fits together perfectly and you are fully equipped with one purchase. This not only saves time, but often also money. If you would like to have a complete bath set, then you are type A.
Type B would rather have a single tub and choose your own comb, nail set, etc. Many parents also do not want to bathe their child with a tub stand, but rather on the floor or on the washing machine. For them, it is then worth buying a single tub. If you are type B, you have to answer one more question right away to find out which baby bathtub fits you perfectly.
You Want A Complete Bath Set?
You Sre Type A!
Type A wants a complete bath set. This has several advantages. On the one hand, you save time and money, because a complete package is usually cheaper than buying all products separately and is also faster. Another advantage is that everything fits together and has the same design. Normally, you also get the bath stand directly with such a complete set, which is very easy on the back, because you can bathe your baby standing up. I would like to introduce you to the Luma Babycare bathing and care setting, as well as the complete bathing set from Rotho. The latter has everything you need to comfortably bathe your baby, and the former also includes general personal care accessories, such as a brush.
The Luma Babycare Bathing And Grooming Set
The set from Luma includes a bathtub with drain, the tub stand with removable legs, a bath seat, a diaper pail, a bath thermometer, comb, brush, and a manicure set. With this, you really get everything you need to bathe your little treasure, plus extra accessories for comprehensive body care. With the scope of the set, you can’t complain about the price either. In the end, this is a very inexpensive alternative to buying all the products individually. In addition, the Babycare bath and care set also convinces with a great modern design.
Rotho Babydesign Complete Bath Set
The bath set from Rotho includes the bathtub, a bath stand, a bath seat, and a thermometer. The bathtub is equipped with an anti-slip pad for newborns and on the other side with a comfortable seat for toddlers. The bathtub stand is height-adjustable and has foldable feet, which makes it particularly easy to store. Together with the bathtub seat for the very young and the thermometer, a relaxing bath with perfect bath temperature is ensured.
You Want A Single Bathtub?
You Are Type B!
Type B would rather have a single baby bathtub without any additional accessories. Here you still have to make a decision, because especially with single bathtubs there are a lot of different models. There are “regular” tubs that often have one side with anti-slip for infants and one side with a sitting position for toddlers. Another model that I would like to introduce to you has a warm function for the water, which makes bathing particularly relaxing and lastly there is the bath bucket, which is very safe and in which babies feel particularly secure.
You Want A Classic Bathtub For Your Baby?
Then the Rotho Top Baby bathtub is just right for you. It has a long service life, as it offers one side for newborns and one for toddlers. The side for the very young is equipped with an anti-slip pad and an armrest for the parents. Toddlers bathe comfortably in the seat recess on the other side of the tub. If you’d rather have a bathtub with a stand after all, you can buy it separately, as well as various other accessories.
You Want A Bathtub That Keeps The Bath Temperature Constant?
Bathing can quickly become exhausting when the water cools down and you have to convulsively try to restore the ideal bathing temperature for your child. With the Babymoov Aquanest, this is now very easy thanks to the Warm Diffuser System. This comes directly before bathing for 5 minutes in the microwave and is then inserted into the bottom of the tub. There is then constantly emits a gentle heat and thus keeps the water at a constant temperature for about 10 minutes. Very practical and a real help when bathing!
You’d Rather Have A Bath Bucket?
Oops what’s that? Many midwives now recommend the use of a bath bucket instead of a baby bathtub. In a bath bucket, the babysits a little closer and this has several advantages. First, it is much safer than a bathtub (still, please don’t let the baby out of your sight). Secondly, most babies feel much more comfortable in the bath bucket, as it reminds them of the warm and tight womb. It also makes the best use of the water volume, saving water and energy. If you have acquired a taste for it, then I recommend the Tummy Tub. It has a pleasant shape with an extra wide rim and two handles. A marker indicates the ideal water level. When your child gets too big for the bucket, it can easily be used elsewhere.
Bathtub Info
Why Do I Need A Baby Bath Tub?
A baby bathtub is the safest way to bathe your child. The normal bathtub is very large and apart from the safety risk, most babies feel very uncomfortable in it. Therefore, many try to bathe their baby in the sink. But for this, the sink must be large enough and it is easy for your baby to get hurt by the faucet. So this is not really ideal.
Therefore, I can only warmly recommend the purchase of a suitable bathtub. If you don’t want a complete set, these are also available very inexpensively.
What You Should Look For When Buying A Baby Bathtub
As with all baby products, the baby bathtub should of course be stable and last as long as possible. Depending on how long you plan to use the bathtub, you should make sure that it is large enough. Some bathtubs even offer space for two children at the same time, which can be an advantage under certain circumstances. An integrated armrest for the parents provides even more comfort.
It is important when bathing that your child does not cool down, so the water should cover the baby’s shoulders, especially in the first months. For this, especially a bath bucket is practical, using the water effectively, so you need less.
There are also a few small accessories that are very practical. Such a plug and possibly even a drain hose. With this, you can easily drain the water without having to lift the heavy tub. This is very important, especially for women in childbirth.
Many also prefer a safety seat for newborns, which provides even more stability. This is not a must, but it can be very practical. I would also make this dependent on the tub you choose. Many are well shaped and equipped with anti-slip, there it also goes well without extra seat.
A bathtub stand is also a matter of taste. It is of course much more comfortable for the back of the tub is placed high and many stands are height adjustable and fit you perfectly. If you prefer to bathe your child sitting on the floor, or have a suitable place to put the tub at home, then it works without.
So you see, it’s basically up to you which model you prefer. As long as your baby is well supported, there’s not much you can do wrong when buying a baby bath.
FAQ About Baby Baths
A baby bath is a larger shell in which you can bathe your baby. They come in a wide variety of designs and can be large, small, colored, oval or even transparent.
Your child should have enough space in the baby bath and not feel cramped. To ensure the safety of your child, you should make sure before buying that the tub is free of harmful substances and has no sharp edges. Therefore, it is advisable to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and to look for an appropriate test seal.
In the first few months of life, your baby should not be bathed in the bathtub for longer than 5 to 10 minutes at first, as it first has to get used to the unfamiliar situation. If you notice after some time that your baby feels comfortable, you can increase the duration.
For babies 8 months old, the baby bath can be 80 centimeters long. As your baby gets older and grows, you will of course have to go for a slightly larger model.
A good baby bath does not necessarily have to be expensive. As a rule, it can cost between 10 and 50 euros. Nevertheless, it is advisable to purchase a high-quality model so that the safety of your child is always guaranteed.
A baby bath is important so that you can bathe your child safely. In addition, with it you can often better determine whether the water is too hot or too cold. The matching drain plug on some models indicates when the temperature is exceeded.
Most baby tubs are made of hard plastic. Also, there are certain anti-slip materials so that your baby can not hurt himself in the tub.
There are hard bathtubs, inflatable tubs or even foldable baby tubs. Included with some models is also a stand, with which you can adjust the height perfectly to your height. A seat shell inside the tub also ensures that your baby has a better grip in the tub.
A baby tub can be relatively large if the necessary space in the apartment or house is not given. Therefore, it is best to place the tub in your own bathtub or shower. Should you want to purchase a baby tub with a stand, it is best to consider whether you have the necessary space for it before buying.
A baby tub is very suitable because if you choose the right size, your child will have enough legroom and therefore feel safe in the tub. A bath bucket, on the other hand, is useful if there is little space in the apartment or house. In addition, mainly newborns do not need much space in the first months, because they did not have it even in the mother’s womb. Therefore, your baby probably feels a little safer there for the beginning than in a large tub. A big disadvantage of the baby bucket is that you won’t be able to use it for long, as your baby will soon be too big for it. Accordingly, it makes more sense in the long run to purchase a baby tub.
Your baby should only be bathed once a week, as the skin is still very sensitive and using soap or other care products many times can quickly lead to skin irritation or dry skin.
Some babies do not feel very safe in the bathtub at the beginning and therefore need a distraction. Bath toys are perfect for this. However, make sure that there are no harmful substances in them. In addition, you can also purchase other care products or cuddly towels, so that your baby does not freeze after the bath.
