Every year more and more gadgets and devices appear that can make caring for a child an easy and enjoyable duty. One of these innovations is the changing table with bath. You can understand how much you need it even before making a purchase by considering all the pros and cons of such products.
Features:
The purpose of the item is clear from its name. The product is a changing table, complete with a bathtub.
The tub is fixed directly under the changing surface. During the day, the product will serve as an ordinary changing table. In the evening, when you need to bathe your baby, you simply remove the lid, leaving the bath.
For ease of use, most models are equipped with additional shelves, which allows you to store all the necessary creams, powders and other items for the care of delicate baby skin. In the bath itself, when it is closed, you can also store bathroom accessories. So you have all the items at hand.
Another advantage of such tables is the ability to immediately wipe and dress the baby after taking a bath. After all, even adults who come out of a warm shower are cold from the change in temperature.
For ease of use, bathtubs are equipped with a drain with a hose. After completing hygiene procedures, you do not have to turn over the heavy bath. It will be enough to simply open the valve and direct the hose into a large tub or toilet.
Is it really necessary?
Many do not see the point at all in buying a table for newborns. They use a bed, sofa or regular table for these purposes. Of course, if the financial situation does not allow, then it is quite possible to do without this device. But still, such a table is very convenient. The baby will be comfortable and will not fall, even if he is restless.
As for the table with a bath (2 in 1), it is suitable only for the happy owners of a large toilet room, since it simply does not fit into a small one. Most of these models are equipped with wheels, which allows you to freely move the product from one room to another. If you are planning just this method of operation, then do not clutter up the additional shelves with tubes that can easily fall off when moving.
It may seem that constantly rolling the table from room to room, as well as swaddling a baby in the bathroom, is inconvenient. However, judging by the reviews, bathing a child in a bathtub, which is at waist level, is very comfortable. You do not have to constantly be in an inclined position and at the same time hold the baby.
How to choose?
When choosing, pay attention to whether the model you like has anti-slip rugs in the bath itself. This will prevent your baby from slipping into the water when bathing.
Another difference between baby changing tables with a bath is the materials used in their production. Models can be made from wood or plastic. Making a bath from wood is impractical, since the material quickly becomes unusable with frequent contact with water. Plastic is not afraid of water. If you are an adherent of natural materials, you can choose a design with a changing table made of wood, although the bathtub for bathing your baby will be made of plastic anyway.
When it comes to design, don't worry too much about how well the table will fit into your existing interior. You will be able to swaddle and change your baby at any table for up to a year. And the modest bath will quickly become small and inconvenient for the grown-up toddler.
