Budget-Friendly
Being a parent is not cheap! It is easy to get overwhelmed with the seemingly endless list of items that need to purchased to bring home baby. While there are some items you will want to invest more money in - for example, car seats and strollers - a baby bath is one area where saving a few bucks won’t greatly affect your bottom line. The Angelcare is super affordable, around the price of a fast food meal for two. This will allow you to use your hard earned money on to splurge on more important baby items!

Hygienic and Mildew Resistant
The Angelcare has a mesh seat that allows water to flow through easily. The mesh is soft and designed to be gentle on baby’s delicate skin. Since the mesh seat allows water to easily drain off, you won’t need to worry about your product growing mildew which can happen to items exposed to water. Bonus points for the hook on this seat, which allows you to hang it for easy storage and drip drying.

Cost to Value
This product offers everything you need in a baby bathtub for a very reasonable price. The mesh seat keeps baby securely reclined so you can focus two hands on bathing. This unit is made from lightweight plastic that won’t stain or rust your bathtub, and the bottom is lined with a soft lip, to prevent the product from slipping and sliding around and keep it from damaging your tub or sink. Bonus points for the mildew-resistant mesh seat that lets water flow through and drain off easily. Bathtime will be a breeze for parent and baby with the Angelcare Bath Support.

Four Different Stages
Babies grow fast and they can rapidly outgrow their equipment before you have enough time and money to go out and buy a replacement. We love that the convertible Sling n’ Seat Tub has four different stages, so it grows with your baby all the way up until toddler stage. Stage one is a mesh sling that safely cradles your newborn. Next is stage two- the baby stopper insert, to keep your baby securely in a position allowing you two hands-free for bathing. Stage three is for when baby begins to sit up on his own, usually around 4-7 months. This stage is called ‘sit-me-up support’ and helps unsteady bottoms stay in an upright position until their sitting skills are fully developed. Lastly, the Sling ‘n Seat becomes a full-size toddler tub with lots of room to play in the water, which can be used in most size sinks and adult tubs.

Drying Hook
We love that the Sling ‘n Seat comes with a convenient hanging hook so you can easily drip dry your product over the big tub by hanging it on the shower curtain rod. You will want to make sure your tub is dry after each use to prevent mildew and mold from growing as well as stave off any foul smells that come with stagnant water.

Cost and Value
The Sling ‘n Seat is a mid-priced product but it is certainly worth the investment as it can be used all the way up to the toddler age. Babies are notoriously slippery and hard to handle when wet and we love that this product offers four stages so it can grow with your child and offer a safe, secure bath time at all ages. We give bonus points for the addition of a plastic whale scoop and squeeze bottle, to make cleaning baby even easier. If you are looking for a product that will last past the infant stage, you cannot go wrong with the Sling n’ Seat from Fisher Price.

Perfect for Travel
Travelling is stressful enough without having to worry about the additional hassle of bringing along all the gear that baby needs. This is especially true if you are traveling by air, where airlines have placed tight restrictions on the weight and size limits allowed on luggage. No one likes getting dinged for overweight bags when they are checking-in at the airport trying to start a stress-free and relaxing vacation. The Flyte easily collapses to fit in even carry-on sized luggage. This is great for at home as well if you are tight on storage space, the Flyte is slim enough to easily be stashed away in a drawer or slide into a cupboard.

BPA, PVC & Phthalates Free
Being a parent is a stress-filled job and one of the things many parents worry about is exposing their children to harmful chemicals. The media is filled with articles about the dangers of plastics and their cancer-causing effects. Luckily, the Flyte is made from a closed-cell foam material that is BPA, PVC, and phthalates free. The foam material is soft on baby's delicate skin, yet slip-resistant for security and safety while in the water.

Cost and Value
The Flyte is the perfect option for travel use, but also functional enough for everyday use at home as well. It is sized to fit most standard counter and pedestal sinks. The Flyte is made from non-absorbent closed-cell foam that is also free from any harsh chemicals that could harm the baby. The Flyte has a hook, for easy drip drying and also features a grippy-textured bottom for added security and to prevent the product from slipping or sliding in the sink. The price of the Flyte is mid-range, it won’t break the bank and offers a lot of functionality for new parents. For families who travel often, or want a space-conscious way to wash baby at home, you can’t go wrong checking out the Puj Flyte.

Three Stages
The Skip Hop Moby is suitable for children up to 6+ months thanks to its three-stage design. The sling locks into two different positions. Stage one is a reclined position, suitable for newborns and infants up to 15 pounds. Next, lock the sling into the lower position to offer support and stability as baby learns to sit up on their own. We give bonus points for the ‘Comfort Edge’ on the sling that won’t chafe or rub baby causing discomfort. Finally, you can remove the sling all together, leaving ample room for your toddler to splash and play but offering more security and control than having them loose in an adult size tub.

Non-Slip Interior
The interior of the Moby is non-slip, offering all the security and support baby needs to be safe and comfortable during bath time. It is stressful enough handling newborn babies and infants, before you add in the factor of soap and water making them even more slippery. You can have piece of mind bathing with the Moby tub that baby will secure and safe, giving you two hands free to use for washing and play. Bonus points for the PVC and phthalate free plastic that won’t expose baby to any harmful chemicals.

Cost and Value
The Hop Skip Moby is quite budget-friendly, especially if you consider that it grows with baby all the way up until 6+ months! There are three stages that you can adjust the Moby too. The first two stages use a “comfort edge’ mesh sling to keep baby securely in a reclining or seated position. Remove the sling when baby can sit up on their own, and the non-slip interior will offer plenty of stability and support to unsteady bottoms. Adding even more value to the Moby are the swivel hook, for easy drip drying and the PVC and phthatlate free plastic that won’t expose baby to any harmful chemicals. If you are looking for way to make bathtime both fun and safe, the Moby is a great product to consider.

In-Sink Design
The Blooming Bath Lotus is made from soft, cushiony minky fabric. This textile is known for is super-soft cashmere like texture, which is perfect for babies delicate and sensitive skin. The in-sink design features four, wide petals that fold out to cradle baby making them feel safe and secure. The Blooming Lotus can fit in most standard countertop or pedestal sinks.

Machine Washable
We love that the Blooming Lotus is both machine washable and dryer safe. You can toss it in the tumble dryer for 10-15 when you are done bathing baby and it will be dry in no time. Tumble drying the item will prevent mold and mildew from growing and also keep unpleasant odors at bay. You can also wash this product in the washing machine, which is great for keeping the Blooming Lotus fresh and hygienic.

Cost and Value
The Blooming Lotus is pricier than some items we have seen thus far on the list. It is worth noting however that the Lotus can be machine washed and tumble dried, both factors help maintain cleanliness of your product and prevent you from buying replacements if the item begins to develop odors, mold or mildew. We give a ton of bonus points for the collapsible design of the Lotus , which makes it ideal for travel or for use at the cottage or cabin where you may be short on storage space. Many parents raved that the Lotus was great for fussy baby’s who found bathtime uncomfortable, as the soft, cushiony fabric design cradles baby making them feel safe and secure.

Suitable Up To 12 Months
One reason we love the Schnuggle Baby is that it is suitable for baby’s up to 12 months old. This will save you money from buying a bath seat later down the line when your infant outgrows the newborn stage. Baby can recline back or sit up in the Schnuggle tub, depending on what stage of development you are at.

Foam Padded Backrest
The Schnuggle tub has a foam padded backrest that is not only comfortable for baby, but retains heat to help make bathtime comfortable for longer. There is an integrated bum-bump in the bottom of the Schnuggle tub, so provide security and keep baby from sliding out of an upright position. The lightweight design of the Schnuggle uses only two liters of water and weighs only 7.3 pounds, when full!

Cost and Value
The Schnuggle is pricier than other options on our list, however it does offer more versatility as it can be used all the way up to 12 months of age. There is a large foam backrest that is comfortable for baby and also retains heat, so your little one will never get chilly before bath time is over. The Schnuggle will fit in your adult tub or your sink, giving you versatility in use. Many reviewers stated that this product was worth the extra money because of the superior support and comfortable position that it offered for baby. Whether lying down or sitting up, baby is fully supported by the foam backrest and molded bum-bump. If you are looking to invest a product that will last all the way up until one year of age or simply want to utmost in comfort, you should consider the Schnuggle.

Color-Changing Drain Plug
One feature of The First Years tub that we love is the color-changing drain plugs that indicate when the bath water is too hot. Parenting experts agree that baby bath water should be between 37 and 38 degrees to avoid discomfort or even worse, injury. Temperatures that are tolerable to you can be way too hot for babies sensitive skin so the color-changing plug is a great feature to have if you don’t want to pull out a thermometer to check the bath water every night. Other great features on the First Years Sling Tub include mildew-resistant pads and a machine washable sling.

Grows With Baby
Another reason to like the First Years Sling is that it grows with baby and is suitable up to the toddler stage, saving you money on bath seats later down the road. The sling is for newborns and infants, to securely cradle them safely out of the water. Once the baby gets a little older, they can recline back and lay down comfortably. Finally, turn the tub the other way to allow your toddler to sit fully upright, and enjoy splish-splashing around.

Cost and Value
We love that this product is super budget-friendly. The First Years Sling Tub would be a great option if you are looking for a second tub to keep at the cottage or cabin. We love that this item grows with baby and is suitable all the way up until the toddler stage. We give bonus points for the mildew-resistant pads, non-slip base and machine washable sling which all add even more value.

"Grows" With Your Child
This tub has a soft fling that is removable once your child is out of the newborn stage, making it simple and convenient to use as your child reaches toddler-hood.

Fun, Colorful Design
This adorable tub has bright and colorful images of friendly-looking animals that are sure to catch your little one's attention. As a bonus, this tub comes with a whale-shaped strainer and a soft spray rinse bottle for easier bath times on Mom and Dad.

Cost and Value
This option Fisher-Price is budget-friendly and offers a ton of value if you consider that it is suitable for children up to the toddler stage. The removable infant seat keeps even the tiniest newborns secure and offers support for babies neck and head so you can worry about bonding. Bonus points for the fun bright design, which will come in handy if you have finicky toddlers who dislike bathtime.

Adjustable Bump
The Boon Soak 3-Stage has an adjustable support bump in the bottom of the basin. The bump provides support to hold baby either in a reclining or upright position. Many parents raved about how easy the Boon was to clean and how the one-piece design didn’t leave a lot of cracks and crevices where bacteria and germs could easily multiply.

Fits Double Sinks
Another great feature of the Boon 3-Stage is that it fits in most double sinks. This is great for parents who don’t want to break their back crouching down over the adult bathtub, especially in the newborn stages when the baby requires constant attention and support while in bath mode. A kitchen sink is a much more back-friendly height that won’t require crouching and bending at awkward angles, allowing you to fully enjoy bonding over bathtime with your baby.

Cost and Value
The Boon 3-Stage has a very impressive price tag along with all the great features it offers. There is a color-change plug which will indicate when bath water gets too hot for babies extra sensitive skin. Bonus points for the 3-stage design which grows with baby, to prevent you from purchasing further costly bath items later down the road. The Boon can be used in the adult tub or the kitchen sink, which is great for parents who don’t want to spend bath time crouched and hunched over. The Boon 3-Stage will keep baby safe and happy during bath time and leave enough money in your wallet to worry about the next important piece of baby gear you need to purchase.

Very Affordable
This no bells and whistle design has a great price tag. This would be perfect for older children to feel more secure before they graduate to using the full-size adult tub. One feature that we love about the Munchkin White Hot is an indicator disk that signals if the water is too hot.

Two Designs
Munchkin makes this inflatable bathtub in two kid-friendly designs - a duck and swan. This is great for toddlers who associate bath time to corporal punishment. Parenting experts say one way to get your children excited about bath time is to make the experience fun for them.

Cost and Value
While the Munchkin White Hot may be the least impressive in terms of features, it does have the lowest price tag out of all the products on our list. It is worth noting that this product doesn’t offer the support and stability that is required of infants and newborns, however, it is suitable for toddlers and small children. The bargain price and small-size of the Munchkin Inflatable make it a great option for vacations. Bonus points that the floating design can also do double-duty as a pool or beach floatie as well. This made our list for the parents that need a economical solution to bath time while travelling with older children who won’t fit into collapsible, in-sink style tubs any longer.
