A practical purchase, but one that raises real questions on day one
You have just received your Treelys foldable bathtub, or you are thinking about getting one. How do you set it up properly, and how do you look after it so that it lasts? Here are the practical answers.
Setting up: a straight back and a stable tub
Positioning the stand
The removable stand attaches in just a few simple steps. It lets you bath your baby standing up, at hip height. Many traditional baby baths force you to kneel, which takes its toll on your back over time.
Check stability before every bath
Once the stand is assembled, make sure all four feet are firmly on the floor. The tub can be placed on and lifted off the stand independently, which is handy for bathing your baby directly on the floor on some days.
The built-in thermometer
The digital thermometer means you no longer need to test the water with your elbow. The recommended comfortable temperature for bathing a newborn is around 37°C, close to body temperature.
Care: what really extends the product’s lifespan
After every bath
Empty the tub using the 120 cm drain hose rather than lifting it while it is full of water. Rinse with clean water to prevent soap residue from dulling the material over time.
Once a week
A wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is all it needs. Avoid abrasive or heavily scented products, which can irritate your baby’s sensitive skin.
Folding and storage
Make sure the bathtub is completely dry before folding it. Once folded, it can be put away in ten seconds, which is handy for stays with the grandparents, as mentioned in our guide to travelling with a baby.
A product designed to last, not to be replaced
