Bath, changing & care

These are the items you use every single day, so practicality beats specification. For bathing, the choice is mostly about your space — supports and buckets suit small bathrooms, full baths with stands save your back.

For changing, a dedicated unit at hip height is kinder on your back than a floor mat, though a simple wipeable mat works perfectly well. Nappy bags are worth choosing for layout and strap options rather than capacity alone.
