Choosing a stand under the bath for a newborn

Bathing a newborn is quite a responsible process, and, according to psychologists, the further love or dislike of a child for water depends on how the first procedure is carried out. And if a couple of decades ago, thumbs and stools were used as a stand for a baby bath, today practical and multifunctional structures are used to install baths.

The stand for the baby bath is certainly not a necessity, but its use can make life much easier for parents. When installing the bath on the chairs, the bathing person has to bend and stay in an unnatural position for some time, and when placed on the floor - sit on his knees altogether. Purchasing a special bath stand helps to easily solve this problem.

In addition, some models are multifunctional and provide a number of additional options. For example, some coasters are endowed with the function of a changing table and drying for linen, others have several shelves and are able to compactly fold.

Great attention is paid to the safety of the use of coasters. Thus, manufacturers equip structures with special clamps holding the bath in the desired position, and rubber anti-slip pads, located on the legs. In addition, the coasters are assembled in such a way that even folding models have high stability and overall structural rigidity.

Structurally, bath stands are of several types, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses, and different appearance, number of functions and price.

• Universal models are the most common and best-selling variety of coasters, and are characterized by low cost and simple design. The model can be displayed, can easily be installed at the desired height and is quite stable. The main advantage of universal supports is the optimal price-quality ratio of products, thanks to which the models are very popular and are well bought. The disadvantages include the lack of additional functions.

• Stand with clothes dryer very comfortable to use and ergonomic. The model is well suited for small apartments in which the installation of the bath and drying for baby clothes separately is problematic. The product is not much more expensive than universal models and is also quite popular.

• Stand with changing table equipped with an additional surface for dressing the child, and in the process of bathing it can serve as a stand for toiletries and hygiene items: soap, shampoo, oil and cream. This design allows you to not leave the baby alone, in order to bring a towel, and will not allow the baby to freeze during his movement from the bath to the changing table. The disadvantage of the models is their high, in comparison with simple products, cost.

• Stand Bracket is the most ergonomic and is a surface-mounted device, mounted on an adult bath. The undoubted advantage of the model is that the child has the opportunity to play freely in the water, creating a lot of spray and without fear of falling on the walls or the floor. The disadvantages include the need for parents to bend over the baby and the lack of additional functions in some models.

Before you start purchasing the stand under the bath, you need to decide on the basic parameters of the product. One of the highlights is the material of manufacture of structures. Most models have a metal frame, thanks to which they are characterized by high strength and durability. When buying, you should pay attention to the thickness of the tubes, not forgetting that the larger the section size they have, the heavier the structure will be. In addition, you need to make sure that the frame is painted with moisture-resistant enamel and free from defects and dents.

Particular attention should be paid to product safety. Prerequisite should be the presence on the legs of rubber anti-slip pads that do not allow the stand to slide on the wet tile. The ability to change the height and width is also an important function. Thanks to the regulation options, you can place the bath at a comfortable height for parents, and securely fix it on the sides.

Additional equipment, such as drying, shelves for toiletries and a changing board make bathing your baby convenient and comfortable. Therefore, the choice of such models depends entirely on the personal requirements and preferences of the parents.

When choosing additional options, you should carefully read the operating instructions. This is due to the fact that often the presence of any additional function is possible only to the detriment of another. For example, a stand equipped with a changing board may not fold out, and a product equipped with convenient shelves may not have accessories for drying clothes. In addition, you should buy coasters only in specialized stores, asking for a certificate from the seller and having read it carefully.

The modern market for children's products offers a wide selection of coasters under the bath. The most popular and purchased is a number of models.
