Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large Baby Bathtub, White Grey - Lightweight, Foldable & Easy to Store Review (2026)

Who this larger folding tub fits

This X-Large version suits families who want one bathtub to last well beyond the newborn stage, since Stokke rates the Flexi Bath line for children up to about 46 pounds and roughly age 6, longer than most infant tubs that get outgrown within a year. Its larger footprint compared to the standard Flexi Bath makes it a better match for parents who plan to bathe a toddler or a growing preschooler in it rather than only a newborn. Because it folds flat and weighs about 4.1 pounds, it also suits small bathrooms where a rigid infant tub would take up too much cabinet or closet space, and it works for travel or visiting a relative's home where a built in tub is not baby sized.

Dimensions, materials and drainage explained

The tub measures about 31.5 by 15.7 by 9.4 inches when open and weighs 4.1 pounds, noticeably larger than Stokke's standard size Flexi Bath. It has a non slip base to help keep a slippery, wet baby from sliding during a bath, and a heat sensitive plug at the drain that Stokke designs to change appearance as a visual cue tied to water temperature, though always check water temperature by hand or thermometer rather than relying on the plug alone, and follow Stokke's included instructions for supervised bath use. This X-Large listing covers the tub itself in white grey and does not include Stokke's separate newborn support insert, which is sold on its own and is sized to cradle a baby up to about 8 months or 17.6 pounds.

Living with it, filling and folding away

Because the X-Large tub is bigger than the standard Flexi Bath, expect to run more water to reach a comfortable bathing depth, which means a slightly longer fill time and more water on hand in a small bathroom without a full sized tub spout nearby. Once bath time is over, the tub folds flat for storage, letting it hang from a hook on the back of a door or slide behind a washer or dryer rather than taking up permanent floor space. If you want extra support for a newborn who cannot yet sit, plan to purchase Stokke's newborn support insert separately, since it snaps into the tub but does not come bundled with this particular listing.

How it compares to other foldable tubs

In the site's foldable baby bathtub guide, this X-Large ranks second of nine, just behind Stokke's own standard size Flexi Bath, which covers a similar age range in a more compact shape better suited to smaller bathrooms or families who do not need the extra room this X-Large version provides. Against the OXO Tot Splash and Store, rated for 0 to 18 months, this Stokke offers a much longer usable window but in a larger folded footprint. Compared with the Frida Baby 4-in-1 Grow-with-Me tub, which includes a removable seat and backrest as part of the base price, this Flexi Bath keeps its accessories, including the newborn support, as separate purchases.

Verdict and who should size down

Choose this Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large if you want one folding tub to carry a child from infancy through the toddler years in a small bathroom, and you do not mind buying the newborn support insert separately if you need it for a very young baby. Its fold flat storage and roughly 46 pound weight rating make it a long term option rather than a tub you replace within months. Parents who only need a tub for the newborn stage, or who want built in seat support without an extra purchase, may prefer Stokke's standard Flexi Bath or the Frida Baby 4-in-1, both of which fit smaller bathrooms or bundle more accessories at the base price.
