Best Baby Bathtubs 2024

September 18, 2024

Picking out the best baby bathtub for your family is surprisingly personal. Parents might look at a number of factors, including how much space they have in their home (or bathroom), parental mobility issues, as well as comfort levels around how best to bathe infants. But overall, you might also seek out the tub that makes bathtime with your new baby safer—and easier. We think the Munchkin Sit and Soak is the best baby bathtub overall because it allows babies to remain upright, has a convenient drain and is easy to clean.

The best baby bathtubs provide a stable, safe and easy-to-use bathing station for your new infant or … [+] toddler.

“From a safety issue, babies are slippery when wet, so, to me, having a secure base is really important,” says Shannon Willett, a mother of two who reviews baby items online as Parenting Products Guru on TikTok.

In addition to safety, portability was top of mind for Willett and her husband when they first searched for a baby tub for her oldest child two years ago. Their baby would be using a guest bathroom, so the tub needed to be stowed away when not in use. After much searching, the couple landed on the OXO Tot Splash and Store Tub, which they continue to use with their second baby.

Like Willett, look for a bathing setup that best fits your home and family. We’ve compiled this list of the best baby bathtubs for various preferences, according to recommendations from parent reviewers, bestseller lists, personal experience and safety standards.

The unique design of the backrest of this tub allows for babies to remain seated upright during bathtime. Parents have noted that it’s not the best for newborns, though, since they cannot sit up easily. However, the size and shape are suitable for babies up to 12 months. The tub is lightweight and can be used on the countertop, and it also features a drain, which makes it easier for parents to empty. The simple lines and lack of crevices make it easy to clean, and the handle doubles as a hook for convenient storage in crowded bathrooms.

Dimensions: 31.5 x 18.1 x 9 inches | Recommended age: Newborn to toddler (max 25 pounds)

Adorable and functional, the whale tail on this baby bathtub is actually an infant seat for smaller babies that can be removed once they get bigger. The tub also features a drain, and the infant insert includes a padded headrest. Unlike some other baby tubs, this one doesn’t fold down for storage—it’s small enough to fit in most shower stalls—but be sure to double-check the dimensions if you need it for a very small space.

What our editors say: “I used this tub with my son after it became clear that baby baths in our kitchen sink weren’t working for us,” says Margaret Badore, Forbes Vetted’s baby and kids gear editor. “He was never thrilled to take a bath as a baby, but this tub did make it easier for us to get him in and out quickly.” She also appreciates that it’s quite easy to clean.

Dimensions: 26.4 x 25.5 x 1 inches | Recommended age: 0 to 6 months (max 17 pounds)

This origami-like, foldable foam tub can fit into most sinks. The best part of the Puj tub is that, for those who may not have a lot of space for storage, it folds flat and can hang on the wall. That design element also means that the Puj can drip-dry without ever growing moldy.

What our editors say: Forbes Vetted’s deputy editor Rose Gordon Sala used this simple tub in her Brooklyn apartment’s kitchen sink and loved its simplicity and flat storage. “I had big babies, so we couldn’t use this tub for long, but it was so ideal for our teeny city apartment and its galley kitchen,” she says. “It’s made of foam, so it feels a bit flimsy, but it provides just the right amount of support and padding and is easy to tuck away afterward.”

Dimensions: 29.8 x 15 x 11.3 | Recommended age: Newborn to toddler (max 25 pounds)

Newborns can be wriggly and make bathtime genuinely scary to attempt, but the infant hammock in this tub safely cradles them to keep them in place. The sling itself can be laundered along with other baby items. The tub also gets bonus points for accessibility, because it can be used inside an average-size tub or placed in a sink. As baby grows, remove the sling for a slightly reclined bath for your older baby or let them sit up on the more upright side of the tub.

What the reviews say: Amazon customers have overwhelmingly rated the tub positively with a 4.7 out of 5 and more than 25,000 reviews.

Although the Splash and Store is collapsible for storage purposes, it’s certainly not flimsy. The tub narrows at one end, where newborns can be placed securely for bathtime, and widens into a larger space ideal for toddlers. With drains on both sides, parents can easily empty the tub even with their infant still in the tub. This tub is on the pricier end of the spectrum for baby bathtubs, but parents say it’s worth it. “All the water drains really easily and efficiently,” says Willett.

The two-sided design of the Primo EuroBath includes a reclining seat for newborns on one side and an upright seat for toddlers on the other. It’s sturdy and a bit larger than some of our other picks, so it works well for older or larger babies, too. It can support babies up to 30 pounds. Featuring BPA-free and phthalate-free polypropylene, the whole thing is recyclable, too. Cleanup takes just a quick and easy wipe down. Keep in mind that it’s a bit bulkier than some options, and it doesn’t fold for storage.

Dimensions: 33 x 33 x 33 inches | Recommended age: Up to 6 months (max 25 pounds)

In-sink baby tubs can be great for parents recovering from C-sections or who have back problems, because they reduce the amount that you have to bend down. The Blooming Bath Lotus is made from soft polyester that nestles babies in sinks. Clean-up is a little unorthodox, but maybe ideal. Simply rinse the petal or hit the gentle cycle on your washer, and then throw it in the clothes dryer for 15 minutes (or air-dry it), eliminating the opportunity for mold to grow. The Bath Lotus is best for babies under 6 months old and less than 25 pounds.

Why Trust Forbes Vetted

The Forbes Vetted parenting editors who cover the kids and baby gear vertical have extensive experience testing, researching and reviewing parenting products, including bath-related items like baby shampoo. We also consulted experts and government agencies for guidance around what to consider when shopping for a baby bathtub.

Maya Polton, a freelance kids and baby gear writer and mom to three kids, and Gabriela Resto-Montero, a parent and editorial contributor to Forbes Vetted, are the coauthors of this article. Polton recently covered the best gifts for 10-year-olds for Forbes Vetted, and Resto-Montero recently wrote about teething toys.
This story and its iterations are overseen by kids and baby gear editor Margaret Badore. She reviews all product selections and has personal experience as a mom to little ones herself.
In addition to our already thorough parenting expertise, we also polled other parents on staff and in our networks for their recommendations and observations.
We received expert insights for this piece from Shannon Willett, a mother of two who reviews baby items online as Parenting Products Guru on TikTok and consulted the baby bathtub guidelines from The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC).
We also pored over online reviews of baby bathtubs to ensure the options we chose for each designation were worth it and highly rated by consumers.
We regularly update this article to maintain accuracy and make sure all the baby bathtubs we recommend are still in stock and the best you can get. It was most recently updated in September 2024 by Maya Polton.

How We Chose The Best Baby Bathtubs

To recommend only the best baby bathtubs, we relied on our own parenting experience, expert insight, deep research and online reviews.

We first turned to our own experience as parents and polled other parents on the Forbes Vetted team for their favorite baby bathtubs.
We deeply researched this story, seeking out safety considerations and guidelines first and then considering the baby bathtub features parents appreciate the most, including a supportive structure, portability and storability, as well as products that can pull double-duty or age with your child.
We spoke with Willett to get her thoughts as a parenting product reviewer and incorporated her opinions and recommendations.
We made sure to include options for a wide range of ages and for use in both a sink and bathtub.
Customer reviews with positive ratings of at least 4+ stars help to support our research.

Best Safety Practices For Using Baby Bathtubs

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC) released its guidelines on baby tub safety back in 2017 and warned that the biggest danger to infants was drowning when left unattended. “Young children can drown quickly, even in small amounts of water,” the CPSC report stated.

To that end, the CPSC outlined several rules to make sure that parents keep their babies safe.

Never leave a baby alone in the tub. Ever.
Keep children within arms-length during bathtime and take them with you if you have to leave.
Don’t leave babies in the care of small children.
Learn CPR.

When shopping for a baby tub, the Commission also recommends buying brand-new tubs instead of secondhand, so that you know the tub meets the latest standards and is in good working condition.
