FlexiBath Wins TIPS Award

Published: 13 July, 2010

Said TIPS: "The design of this bath is quite different from others on the market. Designed and made in Denmark by A Real Cool World®, the Flexibath™ has an ingenious folding mechanism, which makes it ideal for people who don’t have a lot of space. It is particularly useful for trips away as it folds flat with a clever locking device. The Flexibath™ is light but strong with smooth edges. It comes in six colours to suit every taste. It is made from safe plastic that is free from phthalates and heavy metals. The manufacturer’s advise that the bath is for babies from 0 to 4 years of age, but some of our Testers felt it was best suited to infants over six months. This is because from that age, they can sit without being supported and really enjoy using all the space in the Flexibath™ for toys. This helps make bath time even more fun."

TIPS continued: "Testers found this bath easy to set-up and fill. They also praised the ‘splat’ design of the plug which helped to drain water away quickly and easily. Instructions on pack and online were found to be excellent, as they provide detailed information about safety.

The Flexibath™ is a contemporary piece of design which Testers overwhelmingly agreed was worthy of our TIPS ‘Innovative’ award.

This is what some of the Testers said:

* The Flexibath™ freed up much needed space on our family holiday

* It’s good for playing in as well as bathing so can be used for much longer than a conventional bath

* It folds flat like a cardboard box becoming very compact

* I don’t have the luxury of space and the way it folds away is excellent

* The kids love him being in his little bath while they are in the big bath!

* I still smile when I see just how easily it tucks away

* It fits perfectly over the sides of the big bath so I dry it upside down."
