Baby tubs
Frida Baby Soft Sink Baby Bath
Our take
A soft, folding insert for the sink that packs flat for small spaces and travel and dries quickly. It gives less support than a hard tub, so it isn't the best pick for brand-new newborns.
Fits in a sinkFolds flatMachine washable
Consider instead: Angelcare Bath Support for a newborn bath seat.
Before you buy
Do you need it?Must-have A simple, supportive tub makes newborn baths easier. Bath seats are not safety devices, so never leave a baby alone in one.
Cost per monthAbout $2.42 a month over a typical 12 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Cheaper optionAngelcare Baby Bath Support: About $20, scored 78 (Good).
Secondhand?Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand if it's clean and not cracked.
