We only have a shower cubicle and no bath, so good old classic baby bath in the bottom serves this purpose well.
Toddler inadvertently leans against one side of basket, basket tips, bottom of basket becomes wall holding toys that impede Toddler from getting up… This seems like a well-intentioned dumb idea.
How wide is your bathtub? A standard basket would fit almost snugly into your basic bathtub, so I can’t see how it would tip, even with a little bit of movement. Plus the added fact which was also noted by the author, that one should ‘never’ leave a baby or toddler unattended in the bathtub no matter how secure they are.
Not ‘never’, but really, NEVER.
