If you've been a parent for more than five minutes, you know that all it takes is a split second for your baby or toddler to take a tumble. And you know that there is not a more dangerous place for this to happen than in the tub. Of course constant bathtime supervision guards against many tub accidents but even then small scrapes and bumps are bound to happen. Faucets, slippery tub floors and just the act of getting in and out seem to be the biggest bath owie culprits, which is why it pays off in spades to take a few minutes to babyproof these areas. All the products featured below are top-rated by real parents, and even better, they are easy to install and very affordable.
