Angelcare Soft Touch Bath Support - Aqua(Pack of 1)

Product Information

You’ll be hands-free too, as your baby is completely supported, so you can wash and play easily - more fun for both of you! We chose the Shnuggle Baby Bath as the best baby bath of 2023 as it’s lightweight, easy, comfy, can be used anywhere and popular with Mumsnetters. A built-in seat stops your baby from sliding down and leaves you hands-free; while a soft foam headrest ensures they are comfy to enjoy their soak.

To be used from six months when your baby can sit up, it’s an investment as the decent size means it’ll last a long time. An anti-slip base means the tub won’t move around on hard surfaces and easy-grip handles make it simple to pick up and move to empty after use. Award-winning and incredibly popular with Mumsnetters, the Shnuggle offers something a little different to most baby baths. Our babies spent nine months growing and developing in water and having a bath can have a very calming effect on even the youngest of children. If a bucket bath feels odd but you want your baby to remain largely upright (perhaps if they have colic) and to feel snug and secure, this is the happy medium.and took note of what they looked for in a baby bath and which brands they were recommending to their readers, weighing up which ones we think will appeal most to Mumsnet users. A plug means you can empty the Flexi easily if you’ve used it in a bath or shower tray; and the plug is heat-sensitive so will change colour to warn you if the water is too hot (but always check yourself).

Look for non-slip areas on any hard plastic parts so that, as they get bigger and move around, they're less likely to wriggle and slip. If you have any issues with your back, a freestanding bath offers you the freedom to bathe your baby wherever you like. Nicely, it has a comfy hammock for your baby to lie in made of a mildew-resistant rubber mesh that feels warm to touch. But for a couple of pounds more, you can have this - something actually made for its job with a simple, solid design. Keep this arm around them while they're in the bath if you aren’t using a tub that supports them with a sling or similar.

This innovative bath product fits into most standard kitchen or bathroom sinks, thanks to its extendable base and non-slip extendable arms.

Some bath supports or sink inserts are only big enough to last until around six months, while others can be used all the way up to six years of age. Strip your baby down to their nappy and wrap them in a towel while you first wash their face and then hair, leaning them over the bath. We’ve included recommendations of baths for tiny bathrooms, baths for homes with no bath at all, baths for travel, and even blow-up baths, so we think you’ll find the right option for you and your family here. The foam back rest is soft and warm for comfort and it has a nifty ‘bum bump’ - rather than a seat - on the base, so they can’t slide downwards.It has a non-slip base to keep it steady on hard surfaces (like your bath) and an insert that stops your baby from slipping down. There’s plenty of room for splashing and playing but, once emptied, it folds down like a cardboard box to be neatly tucked away. New guidelines from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) actually advise against using one, because of the false sense of security a bath seat can give.

There’s no reason why a bath time routine can’t be established from very early on in a child’s life. It can just as easily be used on the nursery floor or wherever your baby is happiest being bathed, and the rubber feet mean it stays steady on any surface. A baby bath isn’t a necessity and many parents will tell you that they got by just fine without one.The bum support in this bath is reassuring for younger ones, plus it's adjustable as your baby grows (though it’s only suitable up to 12 months). Take parenting to a whole new level of convenience and cleanliness with Angelcare®'s nappy disposal systems. Just remember to always check the water temperature before you put your child into the bath, never leave your child unattended (even for a second), use a non-slip bath mat and wipe up any floor puddles straight away.
