Hy guys, has anyone hurd of the baby bathinette? I was reading a book about the Anderson quintuplits, can't spell write, and there mom had something called the baby bathinette for them. I was looking on line, and they say it's a baby bath incorperated into a changing table. Have any of you seen or used one of these? I am intreged, my sister in law might be able to use one of these.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give!

I believe you can get them at baby's r us. they are aussom! I wanted one for noah, but never got around to buying one.
I may be mistaken except I think I've heard of Baby Bathinette {Spelling..????} that can be had without also having the changing table.
A seperate little like tub {Baby sized} that can be placed on a sturdy table {one that will Not like tip over so as to have little baby-tublette and baby fall to floor}
never seen one, but it sounds like the perfect gift ofr a baby shower.
lol never heard of it either, got my son a froggie bathtub when he was an infint. it had the net thing with a frog thing on it that could move in stuff..
Hmmm! Have to say, I wouldn't fancy using a combination between baby bath and changing table in one. Mixing nice, fresh, clean water with weewee and poohpooh! I don't think so! I'll be using the good old fashioned, also much more portable padded plastic change mat plus terylene towelling nappy in place of that huge great immobile and also expensive change unit which also incorporates its own bath, lol, when I want to change baby, the not so old-fashioned womb tub for the tiny newborn baby then the inflatable bath for an older baby should I be away from home for any length of time with the little one(s). Much more practical and space saving than this bathinette thing sounds.

you don't baithe the baby in the same spot you change it in, it's two sepprat spots, just atatched to each other.
Maybe, but I could still see this huge great thing taking over the bathroom or what little space is left when you've squeezed all the toys, bouncy chairs, cot plus your average bedroom furniture in to probably the smallest room in the house you've set up as the baby's nursery. You'd have to keep turning the thing round all the time so you could access either the changing table or bath sides wouldn't you?

pritty sure it does take up alot of space
Ok, first of all, what it looks like, at least the origional ones, is an ordinary basinette, the tall baskity thing in which the baby sleeps beside your bed, then of course you can change the baby in the basinette, if you wish, most people do change in the cradle, co-sleeper or basinette while the baby is co-sleeping in the same room, or on the parents' bed if the baby is bed sharing. You lift up the surface that the baby sleeps on and underneeth is a smallish tub you can fill with water to bathe the baby, but of course you must carry water from another room. It really isn't meant to be a changing table, just the bath plus the bassinette, hense the bathinette. These were popular back when I was a baby, but due to recent safety concerns and changing trends in sleeping arangements and nursery design, these are not as common anymore. Honestly, our son slept in our bed with us, no crib, no basinette, no bathinette, no cradle, and he bathed, still does, right in the tub with me, no baby tub seat, no baby bath tub, etc. When he was tiny and needed spunge baths as a new born with the plastabell still on his penus and the imbilical chord stump still on his tummy, we did have a tiny folding bath tub that fit into our kitchen sink and that did work nicely. Hope that helps.
noah also takes baths with me, but my mom always gripes that it's not safe, I can't see how it wouldn't be safe, unless I peed in my bath water, in which, I don't.
just nice to know I'm not the only one.
mona keep bathing your boy with you. it's a lot safer. you have your hands on him and know exactly where he is. he's not going to jump up and swing from the soap dish. that has been done in our house. or pee on his sisters head, another thing which happened at my home.
heheheheh, fun times.
