Tub in Shower?
Hi, My family is moving into a new home with no bathtubs. We have a 2 year old and 3 month old. We are not in a place to do a renovation and are looking for what has worked for others to create a bath space in a shower - inflatable pool, large rubbermaid, etc. Thanks for any advice!

We used our kitchen sink during our remodel when we had no bathtub. Our kids were 2 and 4 at the time and they loved it!
We actually used the kitchen sink for a while. Then we used an infant tub in the shower. Replacing the standard shower head with a hand held shower head eased the filling process. After they got big enough to stand the kids started taking showers.
I grew up in a home with no bath and my mom got two large square clothes storage boxes (like you would get at target) and we took baths in gen until age 8-10. Super fun my mom figured out how to get two of them in the shower so my sister and I could still take baths together. We did this in our shower for the first two years before we moved to a house with a bath with my daughter. Saves water and she is just as happy (and big baths were a super treat)
When my son was an infant we used one of those flexible plastic storage tub with handles (now we use it to store toys). Then for a couple years we used an inflatable duck bathtub (used a scoop for rinsing hair). Then now that he's 3 he sits on a plastic non-skid stool and we use a hand-held shower to bathe him (he has fun using it too).
