Frida Baby 4-in-1 Grow-with-Me Bath Tub
A smartly designed convertible tub with a removable newborn cradle that thinks through the little details parents actually hit.
The verdict
Frida Baby built this tub around the annoyances of real bath time: a soft, removable newborn cradle for the earliest days, four stages that carry you into toddlerhood, and thoughtful touches like a drain and easy-rinse surfaces. It costs a bit more than the bare-bones budget tubs but earns it with a nicer newborn insert and a design that's pleasant to actually use night after night. The cradle piece is another part to dry, and it's still a full-size tub that won't fold for storage. As always, the AAP (healthychildren.org) notes that a tub or seat never replaces a hands-on adult. Skip it if you're chasing the absolute lowest price or need something that folds flat.
