You could use it for sponge baths on the countertop, and it would work as a bit of support in the sink as they get older and can recline or sit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469071 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:32:02 +0000 Bao 469071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: haha wow!! That's rough tubbin' right there. I think a towel would work, I'd think the only down side would be it wouldn't dry very fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469065 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:29:35 +0000 LazyLightning 469065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, LOL, when I searched for baby bathtubs on Amazon this was on the third page of results.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Galvanized-Oval-Wash-Tub-3-7/dp/B00002N5XW/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Galvanized-Oval-Wash-Tub-3-7/dp/B00002N5XW/</a></p> <p>A kid's gotta be TOUGH these days eh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469062 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:28:35 +0000 LazyLightning 469062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I was literally just looking at that one! Mainly, trying to weigh the benefit of something like that over using say, a big folded up towel.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469058 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:24:01 +0000 Bao 469058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: or this:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Comfy-Bath-Sponge/dp/B000H953Y2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1356726156&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=foam+baby+bath" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Comfy-Bath-Sponge/dp/B000H953Y2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1356726156&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=foam+baby+bath</a></p> <p>That would fit in any size sink, and not take up a lot of storage space. There are other variations of that one as well.

It's an option for sure--though i"m not sure our sinks are deep enough for it to work right (says your sink has to be more than 6" deep and 14" wide - not sure ours is but I intend to measure before buying). I guess I liked the kitchen sink idea better because it's got a countertop. No place to set anything like soap or a towel near our pedestal sinks (our house is weird. sigh.)</p> <p>@Bao: I had not seen that one, thanks for the suggestion. I'll put it on my list (I'm making a huge list of options for various things then narrow it down later) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469042 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:15:35 +0000 Bao 469042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: That's the thing I was originally trying to think of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469037 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:14:47 +0000 Bao 469037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: What about something like this? You can fold it up nice and thin, and you could even hang it on a couple hooks. I've seen theses even hung up on those 3M plastic adhesive hooks in the shower. Just thinking of possibilities :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Fold-Store-Sling/dp/B005EHEJ0G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1356725590&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+bath+sling" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Fold-Store-Sling/dp/B005EHEJ0G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1356725590&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+bath+sling</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469032 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:13:25 +0000 Weagle 469032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you use the PUJ in one of the pedestal sinks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469028 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:11:22 +0000 LazyLightning 469028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Honestly I have no idea. Wood floors everywhere, tiny little bathroom, no closets. I was planning to do the thing where you get in the shower holding baby and wash them that way, till my mom pointed out 1) how clumsy I am and 2) how slippery babies are. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-469018 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:06:59 +0000 Bao 469018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: We just take it out and set it standing up on the rug, leaning against the tub. Where will you store a tub that will be used in the kitchen sink? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-468998 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:00:29 +0000 LazyLightning 468998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: wow that is a crazy looking thing!! ;) I thought about storing in tub/taking out when showering, but my husband pointed out that everything about that idea would be hell - from where to put it while showering, it would take up all the floor space in the bathroom, to trying to kneel in that small space to bathe the baby. (Clearly, i have 'bigger bathrooms' and 'more than 1 full bath' on my list for the future home requirements. haha.)</p> <p>@Weagle: I thought about that too. Again - wondering where it gets stored though. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-468994 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:58:20 +0000 Weagle 468994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a regular plastic baby tub on the countertop. It was easier for us than using the sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-468975 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:48:01 +0000 Bao 468975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: We have that sling, but there is no way it would fit in a standard kitchen sink, it's way too large. We put it in our bath tub though. We keep it in the bath tub to store, and take it out when we shower. We kneel on the bathroom rug to bathe her. Our bathroom isn't super tiny, but it's not large either. </p> <p>What about something like this?<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blooming-Bath-Baby-Turquoise/dp/B007S1T42O/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1356724008&#038;sr=8-8&#038;keywords=infant+bath" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Blooming-Bath-Baby-Turquoise/dp/B007S1T42O/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1356724008&#038;sr=8-8&#038;keywords=infant+bath</a></p> <p>I know they have different variations of something similar to this too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kitchen-sink-bathers-recommend-a-tub-or-sling#post-468945 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:36:50 +0000 LazyLightning 468945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting to look at registry stuff. We live in a very old home with the following options for baby bathing:</p> <p>--standard sized 'double' kitchen sink<br /> --2 pedestal sinks, no countertops in either bathroom<br /> --bathtub, but in a narrow bathroom you could not get a chair in to, would have to kneel on the tile floor with either the toilet digging in to your back, or the pedestal sink bottom between your legs. </p> <p>So the kitchen sink is the answer to us -- at least until baby is too big for that option. Was thinking it'd be good to get some kind of tub or sling for it though. </p> <p>This one is one i saw that looked like it might fit. Anyone have this one?<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Mothers-Deluxe-Bather/dp/B003BTXSCE" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Mothers-Deluxe-Bather/dp/B003BTXSCE</a></p> <p>Or, recommend another one? I want something that isn't too huge. There is no storage in our home or places to 'hide' things away in bathrooms or elsewhere. I was looking at the PUJ tub but it doesn't seem like it would fit in our sink correctly... </p>
