I never worried about getting one as it seemed like a lot of hard work carrying the water around the house, and you only use a baby bath for around 6months max. If you want my suggestion, get an ordinary baby bath and pop that up on the kitchen bench (or table) to save your back.

I was told that these are a bit of a waste of time, for the reasons Flutterby gives. We didn't even have a baby bath, we (well, DH) showered with Clara for the first six months and now that she's getting a bit longer we bath her in a regular bath.

We've bought one and its on wheels so there wont be the problem of having to carry it around. It also has a plug thingy to drain the water.
We havent used it yet so cant comment on that but even if its only used for 6 months we will use it for future children.

Hi we just brought the normal baby bath (about $14 at Farmers) and used it only a couple of times - we have found it much easier to get in the normal bath or shower with bubs! My MF actually told us to get in the shower with bubs as soon as possible to get her used to water (for future swimming lessons).

Ok bought one from Baby Factory with a drain pipe! It was awesome with my first born...I use the original bath up to 5 months with my first born...then I used a bigger bath from BF that fit in the space too so yah. I am using it again this time around and its great. The table is in our room ..I have a bucket and I go to our ensuit and filll the bath with two buckets.when I am finished I open the plug...fill the bucket again and get rid of the water....easy!
I wouldnt go with out my change table specially useful because I had a CS with both and bending was not an option for me!

We had one, and only used it once! It was one of the ones with the drain pipe and on a change table with wheels
We found it much easier to put the baby bath in the bottom of the shower and fill it there, bath the baby there and then tip it out.
Each to their own though!
(The change table itself was great though...)

Thanks everyone I'm finding this really useful information as I was thinking I needed a special bath stand and it looks like I can manage well with just the bath. Anyone got any thoughts on / experience with 'Tummy Tubs' I've seen them advertised and think they look good but I'm a bit of a sucker for that sort of thing, my hubby reckons it's just an expensive bucket!
Any thoughts appreciated...
