I was out shopping yesterday, and I saw this item in the baby bathtub section. It’s billed as an ergonomic wash basin, and the most natural way to bathe your baby.
It’s a $25 washbucket for your kid.
It’s a washbucket. For your kid.

Don’t you want the best kind of bucket to wash your kid in? Think of the children!

Can’t you just use a garbage can?

If it’s small enough, I don’t see why not.

I took a look at one of those in a baby shop in Belgium when Sophie was little enough that it could have been useful (she hated having baths until recently). It’s a good shape, it’s thick, and it’s more stable than the average bucket, but.. yep, it’s a bucket. The kid looks cute in there in the pictures, though, you have to admit.

I have one of these. There was no rational evaluation of the potential purchase – it was mere reaction to extreme cuteness from youtube videos.

Does the ergonomic design prevent the kind of crippling RSI you’d get from using a regular bucket?

Bbbbbbut those other buckets are made with BPA!

BPA-free buckets, for the concerned middle-class lolrus.

you can use it to paint the baby room too, so it’s dual use.

it’s cute and it’s probably not BPA free plastic and anyone who buys it is a suckah!!!

Well, two points worth noting are that a lot of people don’t have a bathtub (I speak from experience, having spent 3 months in a tiny house in Belgium with a bath-hating newborn) and that the sink’s just fine for babies who like being bathed, but for ones that don’t it can get really fun (more experience of a furious baby managing to scrape her hip on the taps, thus causing even more fury). So a lot of people will buy a baby bath as part of the standard equipment in this case – in which case, why not a bucket? Easier to handle a slippery baby in as well.

I assumed, based on the picture and my limited experience, that the baby would have to at least be able to sit up on their own before something like this would be safe.

Mike Jurney not really. The baby doesn’t have to be able to hold the head either – so you hold it for them, carefully.
