Stokke Flexi Bath Bundle Review (2027)
In-depth review of the Stokke Flexi Bath Bundle: folding design, included newborn support, temperature plug, and preschool lifespan.
Stokke Flexi Bath Bundle
A folding rigid tub bundled with its newborn support, newborn to preschool.
Our verdict
The Flexi Bath solves the storage problem without becoming an inflatable compromise: rigid walls, a real drain with a heat-sensitive plug, and a flat fold that disappears behind a door. Sized generously, it serves years longer than baby-specific tubs. The bundle fixes the standalone tub's one annoyance by including the newborn support in the box.
What we like
- Folds flat for storage and travel unlike any framed rival
- Rigid, durable plastic with a non-slip base
- Newborn support included in the bundle for the pre-sitting months
- Heat-sensitive drain plug changes color with temperature
- Large size serves toddlers and preschoolers longer than baby tubs
What to watch out for
- Premium price, above the standalone tub
- Wide footprint when open needs a suitable floor or tub space
- This listing is the Transparent Blue colorway
What owners report: Stokke Flexi Bath Bundle
Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.
Most praised
- Owners praise a rigid tub that folds flat behind a door, solving the storage problem other tubs create
- The heat sensitive plug gives a visual second check on bath temperature
- Its larger size keeps serving through toddler and preschool baths long after stage tubs retire
Common complaints
- The bundle price sits well above basic framed tubs for what is still a plastic bath
- Opened up, the wide footprint needs a floor or tub area that suits it
- Owners in small homes must commit to folding it every time to actually save the space
Who it is for
Small-space and travel-minded families, and homes without a full-size bathtub, wanting one long-life tub.
Fold without compromise
The panels lock into a rigid tub that does not flex alarmingly when filled, then fold genuinely flat. In an apartment that single property outweighs a shelf of features, and it makes the Flexi Bath the travel tub for car trips and rentals.
Temperature plug and size
The drain plug's color shift with heat is a useful second check alongside a wrist test, and the tub's volume suits toddlers and preschoolers for shared sibling baths. Fill it where it sits; a full Flexi Bath is not a carrying proposition.
Newborn reality
With the bundled support fitted, a newborn gets the reclined insert this wide tub needs; without it, a newborn here would be a two-adult, two-hand job. Buying the bundle instead of the standalone tub removes that extra purchase from the plan.

Questions, answered
Is the newborn support required?
For a baby who cannot sit, yes in practice: it provides the reclined support the open tub lacks. This bundle includes the support made specifically for the Flexi Bath.
What does the plug color mean?
The heat-sensitive plug changes appearance as water warms, giving a visual cue; still confirm temperature with your wrist before placing the baby.
How long will it last?
By size it serves into the preschool years on the larger version, far beyond typical baby tubs, and the rigid plastic has no fabric to retire.
