Advantages For Baby:

• Using the Tummy Tub means bath time is enjoyed from birth.
• Specifically designed to mimic the womb, ensuring babies relax in the familiar foetal position.
• Constructed from soft baby-friendly material.
• A baby can be immersed in the water up to shoulder level and will therefore remain warmer for longer.
• Babies feel warm, reassured and secure.
• Especially recommended for premature babies.
• Helps babies settle and sleep better, and is excellent for colicky babies.

Advantages For Parents:

• Stress-free bathing of baby, particularly helpful for first-time parents. Baby is buoyant in the Tummy Tub which aids in handling.
• Baby can be support with just one hand, leaving one hand free for bathing.
• Easy handling, ergonomic hand grips for carrying.
• Lightweight even when full (very important for new mothers).
• Takes up less space and is easy to transport.
• Wide rim to support parents' arms, allowing a relaxed position for the mother.
• Relaxed, upright position for the mother.

Safety And Ecological Considerations:

• Clear, polypropylene material allows for easy viewing of your baby.
• Safe and easy handling of the baby within the Tummy Tub.
• No harmful substances or sharp edges.
• Highly stable with its anti-skid base.
• Tummy Tub has the Rheinland Germany TUV safety certificate/assessed by BSI.
• Conforms to the CE Certification 93/42 EWG Medical product law regulations.
• Tummy Tub is constructed from fully recyclable materials.
• Uses less water, and saves energy.

Why not use a normal bucket?

• A household bucket is not designed, and the overall shape is not suitable for bathing babies safely.
• Normal buckets don’t have an anti-skid bottom. The bottom is not curved and therefore does not give the baby any support.
• Babies discover their new world by touching with their hands and tasting with their mouth. The pigments in plastic buckets contain toxic elements, as normal buckets aren’t meant for bathing babies.
• Buckets have sharp edges that could easily damage a child's sensitive skin.
• The handle of a bucket can easily hurt the fingers of a baby. A bucket with a handle adds an extra risk, as an older brother or sister could – by holding it – pull the bucket from the table.
• Normal buckets are too low and narrow. Without the adequate water level a baby can’t stay warm.
• Using too large a bucket doesn’t give a baby the support it requires and causes an uncomfortable sitting position. The Tummy Tub is designed to keep baby in a position which feels natural.
• A normal bucket would never have the TÜV and BSI approval for baby bathing. Nor would it be endorsed by physicians, midwives and health care professionals worldwide.

When developing the Tummy Tub, midwives and maternity ward nurses tested no less than 17 different forms of bathing-buckets in their daily practice. The first prototypes were discarded by them as either too wide, whereby the babies could not feel the sides and therefore were not reassured or were not deep enough to allow the babies to be sufficiently immersed in water to keep warm. A smaller bucket would mean the babies would outgrow it much sooner and did not seem practical.

Safety was given top priority in the creation of the Tummy Tub. The Tummy Tub complies with the strict criteria of the BSI (British Standards Institution) and TUV Rheinland (Germany) and is permitted to carry the seal GS (Proven Safety).
