Bath Time Question for Toddler

Bath Time Question for Toddler

My DD is 15 months and is quickly outgrowing her bathtub (same one she had as a baby, Fisher Price, whale of a tub)

I don't want to buy another bathtub just because she outgrew the last and I remember when I was pregnant with her that I saw this ingenious device that basically allowed you to fill up the tub to however much water you want, and then this "thing" allows you to push all the water to one side of the tub and acts like a wall so that the water stays in that one area. You save a ton of water and don't have to fill up the whole tub. I've been looking everywhere online for one and I can't find it.

I've tried looking for a bathub divider, bathtub separator..nothing. I remember thinking this was awesome and it didn't cost more than $20-$25 but the only one I have found online is like $50 and that's not worth it.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? or what its called? Or if you have one, where you bought it?

it looks something like this:

im sure as with most things for the bath it got recalled. sigh... gone are the days of bath chairs. my DS has grown out of that fisher price tub at 8 months. he just kicks all the water out and acts crazy. i bought this tub and it does the job. i just hate storing it!!! http://www.target.com/p/munchkin-white-hot-inflatable-duck-safety-baby-bath-tub/-/A-10209874?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=10209874&CPNG=Baby&kpid=10209874&LID=9pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=10209874&gclid=CKH6lKDguL4CFUOFOgodEDsAjQ

Why not just put her in the regular tub? DS loves being able to move around the tub and play.

That's what I want to do. But I thought it would be easier and helpful to push the water all to one side to conserve water but if I can't find it I'm just putting her in. I already have the tub mat.

I've seen on pinterest that you can put a laundry basket in the tub... That wouldn't conserve water for you, but it would contain her/her toys.

we got a small inflatable tub for DS when he outgrew the whale tub and was still a little too small for the entire tub himself - it was probably $10 at BRU or BBB. He only used it for a few months before outgrowing it.
If she can sit up on her own and you're not worried about her falling over, then you can put her in the whole tub (with a mat).
Or the laundry basket works too!

I was actually looking for that same product. I ended up not finding one sold in the US (one was sold in some other country but was super-expensive). I ended up just putting him in the regular tub (at 18 months, mind you lol)

At this age, I say time for the bathtub. You can have her sit in laundry basket & put in water. I wouldnt buy a tub seperator....she is going to be moving around before you know it. I think waste of money.

At 15 months they will be fine in the tub. And that water saver thing would just drive my ds crazy. He'd be climbing over it.

This and it would make me nuts to have something else to store when it's not being used.

Mine all switched to regular tub(out of a bath seat, which they only sat in from 3 months, so it wasn't used long) at 4-5 months old(we switched once they could sit without tipping). I only put enough water to cover past their legs, so it wasn't deep. By your daughters age, she will do just find in a regular tub.
