Important information when buying a baby bath

Differences in shape and set-up

The keeeper bath has a rigid shape. The Indigo folds and has a built-in thermometer. In the third option, the same Indigo bath sits on a suitable stand with a drain hose. This requires two separate purchases. The longer usage period for the separate bath does not apply when it is used on the stand.

The bath and stand separately or together

The stand is a separate product and fits only the Indigo and Indigo Plus. The manufacturer states that the separate Indigo bath can be used for up to four years, and the stand for zero to six months. This product specification is not a complete set of instructions. Before buying and using them, check the instructions for both bath and stand, including the limits related to your child's development.

Before use, check the stand's locking mechanism and stability. Place supplies within your reach so that you can stay with your baby.

Stay with your baby and keep hold of them

VeiligheidNL recommends bath water at 37 degrees, constant supervision and no distractions. Keep hold of your baby. Do not use a bath seat as a way to keep your hands free.

If you do need to leave, take your baby with you. Drain the water after the bath and store the empty bath safely.

Best baby baths: which suit you?

The keeeper bath has a rigid shape. The Indigo bath folds flat for storage. The matching separate Indigo stand raises the working height, but different usage limits apply. Start with a stable setup where you can hold your baby securely.

Selection criteria and sources

What we look for

  • Choose a stable, level set-up in line with the instructions. Do not improvise a raised surface using furniture.
  • For a stand, check exactly which bath models it can hold.
  • Measure the space where you will use and store the bath.
  • Compare the cost of the complete purchase, including the stand, delivery and any drain hose.
  • A thermometer or non-slip surface does not replace holding your baby.
