Baby baths are used every night for years and then spend the rest of their life in the way. The Maxi-Cosi Indigo Plus folds flat and hangs on a hook, which solves the second half of that problem without giving up anything on the first.
It takes a newborn from day one with the QuickDry insert, has a thermometer built into the bottom of the tub where the water actually sits, and keeps going until your child is about four.
Features
- Thermometer built into the base. Not a floating duck, an actual sensor in the bottom of the bath where baby sits. A green circle shows when the temperature is right.
- QuickDry newborn insert. Soft support for the first few months, and it dries fast enough to use again the next night. Lift it out when they can sit up.
- Non-slip pad moulded in. Nothing to position, nothing to lose, nothing that slides around.
- Folds flat in seconds. Up in seconds, down in seconds, hangs to dry on the retractable hook.
- Big plughole. Drains fast, which you will appreciate at 7pm with a wet toddler on the mat.
- Newborn to four years. Plenty of room as they grow, so you are not buying a second bath.
Why parents love the Indigo Plus
The storage is what sells it. Most baby baths are a bulky plastic shell you end up hiding in the laundry. This one folds down flat and hangs up, so a small bathroom stays a bathroom.
The thermometer is the bit people end up relying on more than they expect. Elbow-testing works, but a green circle at the bottom of the tub takes the guesswork out on a cold morning.
Pair it with the Indigo Bath Stand to bring it up to a metre and save your back, or take both together as a set and save.

FAQs
How does the thermometer work?
It sits in the base of the tub rather than floating on top, so it reads the water where your baby actually is. A green circle appears when the temperature is right.
Can I use it from birth?
Yes. The QuickDry insert supports a newborn, and comes out later once your baby can sit up on their own.
How small does it fold?
Flat enough to hang on its hook or slide down the side of a vanity. That is the main reason people pick it over a rigid tub.
Do I need the stand as well?
Not at all, but your back will thank you. The Indigo Stand raises the bath to a metre so you are not kneeling on a tiled floor every night.
