We bought a TummyTub and i am sooooo glad that we did spend the extra $$ for it.
Its basically a glorified bucket in which your baby sits in, but it means that i can bath MJ in the lounge room where it is warmer.
She loves sitting in it and splashing around.
Here is a link to her sitting in it a few months ago. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...8&ppuser=10258
It uses minimal water too so is great for the environment.
You can put it on a table so it is higher up if you like.
The only concern i had was that she would not be use to larger bodies of water, but occasionally will bath with her Daddy and loves it and is one of the most relaxed babies at the pool, so no worries there.
I think it was about $50, but i can tell you that it isvery worth while money spent as we have used it nearly every day
HTH
fingerscrossed, we bath directly on the floor - i sit with the tub between my legs so that i am nice and close to her.
She now sits in it unaided, but when she was younger i needed to hold her head up a bit so need to be really close (now we just play )
If you can justify the stand go for it, but we decided against it and i dont regret it.
I tried finding 2nd hand tummy tubs but they sell for close to retail, thats why we ended up getting one new.
Sammiejane thanks for that opinion, my mother in law offered to buy us one as a gift but when we went to the shop, the saleslady was a bit negative and put us off at the time for a bit, although she wasn't speaking from experience, she just said that none of her customers had bought one so she hadn't had any feedback. I am still keen when thinking of the idea - after your positive experience I might tell my mother in law to go ahead as she was quite keen in the first place! Good point about occasional baths with dad to get used to more water.
(sorry for the thread hijack - it's been interesting reading though!)
Great to hear the Tummy Tub works & is as good as it sounds, I love the idea of it!!
I also like the idea of the bath/change table for protecting my back. Have heard that the ones that 'pull out' on wheels from the change table bit are better than the lift back lid as you can then use the bath and change table without having to 'close the lid'.
I also saw this inflatable bath when I was shopping online one day & book marked it for future reference. I figured it would be nice and light for setting up on table/bench & easy to transport/store by deflating.
