Baby Bath : What is it?
| Baby baths are portable tubs that support a baby's back and shoulders during baths. They are designed to hold a limited amount of water to keep babies from drowning, and allow parents to check water temperatures before seating the baby. They can be placed inside full-sized bath tubs, sinks, or bathroom floors. Most baby baths have slightly curved bottoms to allow the baby to recline. |

Stability: Choose a baby bath with a wide, sturdy base to keep it from tipping over on slippery surfaces. Look for one with suction cups or rubber grips to increase traction. For sling seats, make sure the side supports are even and can handle your baby's weight.
Shape: Choose a baby bath with a molded plastic seat to keep your baby relaxed and comfortable during the bath. For newborns and infants, the seats and backrests should be fully padded to prevent injuries. |
