Baby Bathtub Cost

Typical costs:

• Basic bath bathtubs typically cost between $15 and $30. Folding or travel type tubs are a little less expensive, averaging between $10 and $20, while tub/shower combinations (which allow you to rinse your baby with fresh water rather than the bath water) cost a little more, ranging from $13 to $40.

• Features to look for, according to Consumer Reports, include: a drain with an attached plug, temperature indicator, convertibility or foldability, an internal mesh sling or cradle, a smooth, overhanging rim and a non-skid surface.
• BabyCenter^[1] says you should also check for thick plastic that won't buckle under the baby's weight combined with the weight of the water.

• Baby bathtubs are sold at numerous retailers and specialty baby stores, including Target^[2] , BabyCenter and BabyAge^[3] .
• Consumer Reports strongly advises against bath seats that are designed to be used in a regular tub. Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports, says the suction cups typically used to hold the seat in place don't adhere well to non-skid surfaces in newer tubs, and may cause the seat to tip over, trapping the baby under water.
• According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission^[4] , more than 60 fatal drownings have been blamed on baby bath seats.
• Check the CPSC website before buying any baby product to see if there have been any recalls on the brand or model you are considering.
