Can this be used as a bath for a 3 year old toddler?

Ours very frequently bathes while sitting in this bucket. If they're standing, the water will be about hip level.

My older grandchildren used it to fill with water in yard to play in. I don't know why a 3 year old couldn't take a bath in the tub supervised by an adult the tub is soft but sturdy. I love them for everything.

I'd say no. The head, hands, and feet are rubber but the body is plush and would just soak up water like a sloppy sponge. It could get really moldy unless the doll were thrown in the dryer immediately after the bath.

No, I use it in my bathtub as well as the other responders. I didn't buy this until my son was 5 mos, & we both love it!

I don't think so. Depends how big the 3 year old is. It is adjustable. But they won't fit in it super long. Maybe 1 or 2 summers.

You could. It's shallow so it's easy to manage with a newborn. I used it in the kitchen sink, on a slant, but it can be placed flat in a bathtub.

Recommendation is 12-24 months. I agree and would not use this tub for a 2 month old infant.

I wouldn't, but she can go in the bath tub. So you can hand wash her easy enough. Just don't squeeze out her body. My husband didn't know that you can only squeeze water out of the head but the body needs to drain and he rung her out...she is very floppy now and doesn't hold her shape and her pants always fall down. Our other one has not been squeezed or rung out and she is fine. We love these dolls.

My son is nine months old now and is sitting up and splashing in this tub. He doesn't seem uncomfortable despite the position of his legs (they are so flexible as babies). My main concern at this point is now that he is sitting up in the tub, he is able to grab the faucet handle and possibly change the temperature of the water before I grab his little hands. I think once they are able to sit up, they need to be in the "big" tub.

No, it did not work very well in a bath tub. There are other baby tubs that work a lot better

It states that it can be used for a newborn...but i would be hesitant. The tub is slippery and newborns are so wiggly it just seems a bad combination. I used it around 4-6 months. Hope this helps.

It's a little simple for an 8 yo. I'm thinking this is more a 4-6 yo toy. And it's not holding up so well for the 3yo. He did put it in the bath, but it now talks if you shake it, but doesn't dash off. I'm blaming the mother who let him put it in the bath rather than the toy.

It has been a while, my daughter is three now, but I do believe you could fit two in a bathtub.

my daughter is 2 years old, 32lbs and 37 inches tall and still has room to fit in it. I am not sure how big your 3 year old is. I would say they might be too big for the tub. Just my opinion.

This tub is great for newborns all the way up to babies who can sit on their own. Once my babies were about 8 months old and able to sit up pretty well on their own, we transitioned them to a regular bath tub. This gave them more room to play, splash and explore. My babies will be one next month and I can't imagine bathing them in this tub any more. They're probably too big to sit in it comfortably and bath time just wouldn't be as much fun for them.

No that's not possible and they (twins) are now 8 months old and we no longer are using the tub. But we loved it while they were smaller, it's much better than the tubs with the mesh over the top to hold them because they would scream the entire bath because they were cold. Once we got this tub they loved their bath time....was worth every penny.

You can definitely use this for a newborn and I have, for both of my children. I do put a towel down first, for more cushion and "hold". But unless the baby is tiny, the way this tub is constructed actually allows the baby to safely lay down, in the water, while you can use both hands to wash him or her.
