Bathtime for Babies
The 4moms Cleanwater Infant Bath tub with digital thermometer could make the job of bathing baby a little easier with a design that allows clean running water to enter the bath tub and be tested for correct temperature before coming into contact with your baby’s delicate skin.
The water collection area in the tub flows from the faucet into the reservoir where the temperature is tested by a digital thermometer. The water from the reservoir then overflows into the main part of the tub in a gentle, flowing motion. Meanwhile, dirty water is being continually expelled through sidewall drains.
The thermometer responds immediately to the water temperature and the color changing backlit display shows at a glance when the water is too hot (red), just right (green) or too cold (blue). In addition, there is an audible high temperature alert so you can focus on bathing baby without worrying about the water temperature.
The bottom of the tub is contoured and will fit in single and double basins as well as in the bathtub. The bath also includes a rinse cup, which is handy when it comes time to rinse baby’s head after shampooing.

The 4 Moms Bath Spout Cover with Digital Thermometer brings a whole new degree of ease to bath time. No more checking the water temperature with your hand or wrist. Simply set the water temperature using the faucet and see it on the screen. No more worries about faucet danger. The soft, cushy cover protects even the most active child. Now your child can enjoy a comfortable bathing experience while you enjoy complete peace of mind, every time baby gets in the tub. The fast responding digital thermometer makes it easy to set a safe, comfortable and consistent bath temperature for your child. The soft cushy cover protects baby’s head from bumps and bruises. The backlit display, which changes color with water temperature, and graphic Comfort Zone take the guesswork out of monitoring bath temperature.
These are just more pieces of plastic junk that parents don’t need, use valuable resources to make, and with electronics embedded are a chore/responsibility to dispose of or recycle correctly.
Is bathing your child really this difficult?
The inside of my wrist was an acceptable temperature gauge for my kids. If it’s hot for you, it will burn the baby. If it’s cold, the baby will cry. Doesn’t seem overly complicated to me. I can understand wanting to cushion that hard bathtub faucet, but do you really need a built-in electronic thermometer?
I think it is a far better idea to simply test the water on yourself, and then stay with your kids while they bathe. If you’re there watching them, accidents are much less likely and you won’t have to worry about padding the faucet. Unless you are the one who needs the protection from burning and bumping, in which case I apologize for my rant and wish you the best of luck.
