Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Skip Hop is a recommended infant tub (often cheaper during sales), but moms note babies outgrow infant tubs quickly - once a toddler can stand you can bathe them standing or repurpose a large lidded storage box.
⚠️ Caution:Never leave a baby or toddler unattended in a bathtub, even for a moment, due to drowning risk.
Parents want a safe, good-value tub but worry about spending on something quickly outgrown. The community reassures with a trusted pick (Skip Hop), a tip to buy in sales, and clever low-cost ideas like a lidded IKEA storage box that later becomes useful storage - so the purchase never goes to waste.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Skip Hop is good - just ordered and used it, it's good; usable up to about 1 year.
You can buy bathtubs cheaper on Prime Day or Diwali sales - I've used a couple and they're great.
Once she could stand I stopped using a tub - now she stands and we bathe her.
I use a big plastic storage box from IKEA for bathing; when outgrown it stores things (it has a lid), so no waste.
