I will be able to access the kidlets from all sides (ours is in centre of room) plus has a hand held water spray for hosing both them and the bath down. Some things are worth waiting for.

Jeff and Jem Building in Byford Scott Park Homes - The Floreat Settlement on Block 17 June 2009 Re: Child friendly bath 4Jul 04, 2009 10:23 am We wanted (or I should say ... I wanted) a clawfoot as well, in the end the builder was going to charge us way too much (like $5k) so I opted for a similar depth & shape Caroma Medina which is built into a tiled hob (hope that's the correct term). We've tested it out . .. lovely and deep, I only need to fill it half way. Our kids are nearly 5 and 6.5yrs and it was ok for them, kind of deep and thus tall to get out of, not a problem because I can lift them out etc, but it could be a problem for someone old / frail or disabled. As far as babies go I am not sure if the height makes a big difference or not, but I know low baths are generally easier when it comes to bathing the bubs. With our current bath it could be an advantage if they can't climb out I suppose, and now all I need is that hose attachment So clawfoot I dare say that kids (depending on age) won't be able to get in / out easily and probably same for older people, if that's not an issue then go for it. A hob type bath has the advantage of being able to have toys etc around it (you could always put a shelf near the clawfoot), but the disadvantage is the hob is water on the tiles where toys are and thus potential mould etc too. Anyway just my thoughts out loud.... Re: Child friendly bath 5Jul 12, 2009 8:35 am I see that Pebble has already pointed out water and mould issues. Make sure that the bath is positioned so that you can reach on all sides to dry down splashes. Clawfoot baths are a little easier as you can always reach underneath.
