Abstract

A device for bathing infants aids the development of infants by allowing them freedom of movement appropriate to their stage of development. In one embodiment, a basin has an inclined surface with a drainage hole and a plug. In a second embodiment, a basin has a substantially flat bottom and walls shaped to allow the baby to sit in different positions transversely and longitudinally. Preferably, the bottom of this seated baby basin has feet to raise it off the bottom of the adult shower or bathtub. The basin has a perimeter comprising a flexible wall connected to an upper frame and a lower frame, adapted to allow an infant to sit, bend, kneel, walk, or crawl. Preferably, the tension of the flexible wall such as mesh fabric or the equivalent contributes to the good mechanical behavior of the periphery.
