Bath time is more than just a daily routine - it’s a bonding experience, a calming ritual, and often, a whole lot of splashing fun. But when it comes to choosing the right bath tub for your baby, many parents are rethinking the classic plastic tub and opting for a smarter, more supportive solution. Enter Skip Hop’s innovative baby baths, designed with both comfort and practicality in mind. So, what sets them apart? Here’s why more and more parents are making the switch from traditional tubs to Skip Hop.
Ergonomic Support for Every Stage
Traditional baby tubs often lack flexibility when it comes to your baby’s growth. Skip Hop's Moby Smart Sling 3-Stage Tub, for example, grows with your baby—from newborn to infant to sitter. With a mesh sling that provides full-body support for newborns and adjusts as baby gains head and neck control, it eliminates the need to purchase multiple tubs as your child develops.
Why parents love it: No slipping, no sliding - just safe, supported soaking from day one.
Built-In Features That Make Sense
Skip Hop tubs are thoughtfully designed with busy parents in mind. Many traditional tubs are clunky, hard to clean, and lack drainage solutions. Skip Hop designs include:
-
Smart drain plugs for quick and easy emptying
-
Non-slip textures for added safety
-
Hooks or handles for easy hanging and storage
-
Contoured designs that cradle baby securely
Parents love not having to juggle their baby while struggling to pour out water or clean awkward corners
Style Meets Function
Let’s face it: some baby gear is an eyesore. Traditional tubs are often bulky and outdated. Skip Hop tubs come in modern, minimalist designs (think clean lines and soft greys or cheerful animal motifs) that look great in any bathroom.
???? Bonus: The Moby collection even coordinates with Skip Hop’s other bath time essentials - like kneelers, elbow rests, and bath rinser cups - creating a cohesive, stylish setup.
Designed for Real Families
Skip Hop listens to parents. Their tubs reflect real-world parenting needs - like having one hand free to wash baby, or being able to bathe your newborn without bending over a deep bath. Their designs reduce strain on caregivers while increasing safety for little ones.
???? Parent-approved: “I can finally enjoy bath time without feeling like I need three arms!”
Space-Saving & Travel-Friendly
Not everyone has a spacious bathroom. Traditional tubs can take up valuable space, while Skip Hop tubs are designed with storage in mind. Some models can be hung on a hook or stand upright in a cabinet. They're also lightweight enough to bring on trips to Grandma’s house or a weekend away.
Real Parent Testimonials

Skip Hop tubs aren’t just a trend - they’re a total upgrade. From the smart sling design to the easy-clean features, they make bath time safer, more enjoyable, and way less stressful. If you’re still using a traditional baby bath and struggling with slips, spills, and awkward angles, it might be time to make the switch.
