Questions, answered
When should a toddler move to the family tub?
When the baby tub is outgrown or the child stands persistently in it. Use a non-slip mat, shallow water, and an arm's-reach rule at all times.
My toddler stands in the tub. What now?
End the framed tub stage. Standing in a raised baby tub is a tipping and falling risk; move bathing to the family tub floor level.
How do I stop splashing from flooding the floor?
A contained tub like the EuroBath or duck tub, a bath mat outside, and toys that reward sitting, pouring cups over balls, all help; supervision does the rest.
Are bath seats for toddlers safe?
Suction bath seats have a long incident history and are not recommended as supervision substitutes. This guide does not pick them; an adult within arm's reach is the safety device.
