MamaLoop mums pick

We researched the cheapest sensible option, because a baby bath only gets used for a few months in many homes. IKEA's LÄTTSAM is a simple moulded tub with rubber slide protection underneath, rated from birth, and it is well reviewed by IKEA Australia customers for being sturdy and easy to clean. There's no affiliate link; we earn nothing on it. Trade-offs: it doesn't fold, so it needs storage space, and it has no built-in support for newborns.
