A Real Cool World Flexibath Fold Away Baby Bath Tub (White/ Grey)

We had a Mothercare baby bath, which my son grew out of at about 18 weeks. We then started using a Summer Infant Baby Bather seat in the big bath but it was terrible - we needed to use an awful lot of water to get above the seat and at least submerge his legs to keep him reasonably warm, which was very wasteful and very time consuming... and we both hated bending over the bath.So we bought one of these based on Amazon reviews and we're delighted! My house is small and I have to travel to visit his grandparents, so being able to fold it up is just brilliant. Some people complain that it's too small for their children but I don't know what they want or expect because this will definitely do my lad well beyond his first birthday at a guess. Maybe even near his second.We bath our little fella as part of a nighttime routine; we fill this under the kitchen tap and bath him on the kitchen table so we don't have to do all that bending over, then we dress him, give him his nighttime bottle and bring him up to bed.Pluses:1. Suitable from birth to (I'd guess) 2 years old.2. Being able to fold it up makes storage easy and you can travel with it.3. Despite being foldable it's not at all flimsy.4. You can put it in the big bath, thus saving time and water. Or you could bath your child in the nursery or the kitchen like we do.5. It's ergonomically friendly - you can bath your child standing up.The only reason I took a star off is that it's a touch too narrow - those bath mats with built in support so the child can sit up, that you can use in a big bath from 8 months or so, are a couple of inches too wide for this. Also if it was a couple of inches wider I'd say it would definitely last to 2 years, because it is long enough.Still, if there's a newborn in your house. I highly recommend this - it's the cleverest baby product we bought.

First I though it is a bit too small but when I filled the bath with hot water the width actually go wider and quite spacious for my 20 month old daughter. She loves it! Also it's easy to clean and of course it's very good that you can fold it!

I bought this because I will soon be moving into house with no bath. My son is 3 years old and LOATHES the feeling of running water on his head/face, so I have been dreading the thought of making him take showers, but I can't afford a new bathroom. The Flexibath seemed like a compromise, at least until I get the little one accustomed to showers.The product arrived quickly and was well-packaged. It is incredibly simple to open and to fold away and was very sturdy. My son took to it straight away, and when it came to bath time he couldn't wait to try it. We popped it in the shower tray and it was filled in seconds. He fit in it, but only just, with very little room to spare. I thought he looked a tad cramped, but he absolutely loved it, and it certainly got the job done. When I pulled the plug out, it drained quickly and was easy to clean.I bought it for a particular purpose - to acclimatise my son to showers by easing him in gently - and I believe it will fulfil that purpose. I can also anticipate that it will come in handy when the weather picks up for water play and/or as a small paddling pool. Once he's outgrown it, it could be used as a storage device for toys.However, I think the company is stretching the truth a bit by saying it's suitable for children aged 0-4. Sure, a 4-year-old will FIT in it, but he/she won't be able to move much. The main problem with the Flexibath is the width of it: it is nowhere near wide enough. My son is about average height and weight for his age, and he can just about get comfortable if he sits with his back at one end and his feet at the other - when he turns sideways and crosses his legs, the plastic bends. At age 4, I can imagine it would be quite uncomfortable trying to squeeze into there. I think the company would really benefit from changing the age range to 0-2 years and perhaps creating a bigger product for older toddlers - one which is a great deal wider and at least slightly longer.Overall, I think it's a great product for age 0-2, and it will do as a temporary measure/stop-gap for children between the ages of 2 and 3. I would avoid buying it as a bath for children over the age of 3, but it may come in useful for other purposes (such as water play).

I bought this for my small dog as a temporary measure while bathroom is being decorated. I should have really looked at the measurements as it is a lot smaller than expected. The description says suitable for up to a 4 years old so thought it would be adequate for a west highland terrier. Well she just about fits in with her head hanging over the edge, and also for the price I would have been better off buying a large plastic storage box which would cost around £15. Seems a good idea but think is a waste of money. Even for a baby you would really benefit with a moulded bottom to stop the baby slipping so do not think is adequate or reasonably priced.

When I got the tub out of the box, I was immediately crestfallen, thinking it was not nearly as big as I expected (to fit up to a 4-year-old). When I tried it out with my 10-month-old daughter, though, I realized it's much bigger than I originally thought. I fill it slightly more than half full for her, and that is plenty of water for her bathtime.The drain plug is a bit cumbersome, though. It's easy enough to remove with one hand (e.g., during baby's bathtime) but requires both hands, picking up the tub a bit and a very firm push to get it back in. This means that I can't just drain a small amount of water from the tub during my daughter's bathtime, if I overfill it or want to replace some hot water with cooler water, etc. That is a real bummer for me. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.

I love this bath!It folds away neatly into a kind of purse, so if you don't have storage space, this is for you! It is deep, but I found that I could fit a baby support seat into it (0-6months)to spare my back. It is also very light and I can see myself travelling with it.I will definitely be buying this for the next baby born to friends.
