3 Essential Bath Items for Babies & Toddlers 🛁✨

Bath time with little ones can be the sweetest part of the day—or total chaos. Over the years (and many soggy towels later), I’ve found that the right tools can make all the difference.

If you’re looking to simplify your routine and make bath time safer and more organized, these three essentials are absolute must-haves in our home:

1. 🚫 Non-Slip Bathtub Mat

Homerella Children’s Non-Slip Bathtub Mat
Bath time and slippery surfaces do not mix. This mat stays put, covers most of the tub, and adds a comfy layer for little ones to sit and splash safely. It’s also washable—because let’s be honest, everything in toddler life needs to be washable.

No more slip-n-slide bath disasters. Worth every penny.

2. 🐳 Skip Hop Moby Spout Cover

Skip Hop Baby Bath Spout Cover – Moby the Whale
We love this cheerful little whale. It covers sharp tub spouts to help prevent bumps and bruises during all the “look at me, I’m swimming!” moments. It’s soft, easy to secure, and honestly… kind of adorable.

Functional and cute? That’s a yes from me.

3. 🧺 3-Compartment Bathtub Toy Organizer

Bath Toy Storage Holder with Large Openings
Tired of bath toys taking over your tub (and your sanity)? This organizer has three roomy compartments so you can sort toys by type or child. The mesh design allows for quick drying, and the strong suction cups actually stay on the wall. Game. Changer.

Say goodbye to moldy toys and cluttered corners.

Final Thoughts

These three items are our ride-or-die bath time MVPs—keeping the tub safe, functional, and (mostly) mess-free. Whether you're just starting out with a baby or managing toddler bath toy chaos, these picks make life easier for both of you.
