OXO Tot Splash & Store Bathtub - Folds Flat for Compact Storage, 0-18 Months Review (2026)

A newborn-to-toddler tub sized for tight storage

This OXO Tot bathtub targets parents who do not have room for a bulky standalone infant tub taking up permanent space beside the bathtub or in a closet. It measures about 30.8 inches long by 18.5 inches wide by 4.375 inches high when set up, and weighs roughly 5.47 pounds, light enough to lift in and out with one hand. OXO designs it to cover birth through 18 months, with a narrower end that cradles a newborn and a wider end that gives an older baby who can sit up more room to splash. That range covers most of the early bathing years before a child graduates to bathing in the main tub.

How the fold-flat design and support post work

The tub folds flat and its legs fold in against the base for storage, so instead of taking up a cabinet shelf it can slide into a narrow gap behind a door or hang from a hook using the built-in swiveling hook OXO includes. A support post in the middle of the tub is meant to help keep a smaller baby positioned securely as they lean back or shift during a bath. OXO states the tub holds up to 50 pounds, well beyond the 18 month upper age range, so the tub itself is not the limiting factor for most families. The plastic construction and folding hardware are built for repeated daily folding and unfolding without the hinges loosening quickly.

Bath time and storage in a small home

In daily use, the narrow end works well for a newborn who still needs to be cradled, and switching a baby to the wider end as they grow into sitting up is a matter of turning the tub around rather than buying a new one. Because it folds flat, it stores easily behind a bathroom door, on a closet shelf, or hung from its swiveling hook, which matters most in apartments or small bathrooms where a rigid infant tub would otherwise sit out permanently. The plastic surface rinses and wipes clean after each bath. Always follow OXO's instructions for supervision and water depth, since no infant bathtub replaces watching a baby closely during bath time.

How it compares with other foldable bathtubs

Against rivals like the Stokke Flexi Bath, which is rated to about 4 years and folds into a flatter, more minimal shape, the OXO Tot's 18 month range is noticeably shorter, so families wanting one tub through toddlerhood may prefer Stokke's longer window. Compared with the Frida Baby 4-in-1, which adds a removable sling and seat for multiple growth stages but is not described as foldable, the OXO Tot is the more compact option for tight storage. Against the Summer Foldaway, which adds an inflatable base and inclined positioner, the OXO Tot leans simpler, with its support post as the main built-in aid rather than a separate insert.

Verdict: the right size for small bathrooms

For apartment dwellers and anyone without a spare closet shelf for baby gear, the OXO Tot Splash and Store earns its our score of 8.4 out of 10 by folding flat and hanging out of the way between baths. Families who want one tub to last well into toddlerhood should look at a longer-rated option like Stokke Flexi Bath instead, since this one is built for the 0 to 18 month window. For most newborn-to-toddler bathing needs in a space-limited home, its size, weight and fold-flat storage make it an easy fit.
