Stokke Flexi Bath Bundle or X-Large Tub: Which Fits Your Bathroom?

The deciding factors: age range, footprint and newborn support

Choosing between the Stokke Flexi Bath Baby Bath & Flexi Bath Newborn Support Bundle and the Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large Baby Bath comes down to three practical questions: how long you want the tub to last, how much floor or bath space you can spare, and whether you need newborn support included from day one.

Both are foldable baby bath tubs with a non-slip base and a heat-sensitive plug that changes colour as the water warms. Neither is a thermometer, so check the water temperature separately. The differences are in the age range, the folded footprint and what comes in the box.

Bundle vs X-Large at a glance

• Stokke Flexi Bath Bundle: Suitable from birth up to approximately 4 years. Includes the newborn support, which is ideal up to around 8 months or approximately 8 kg. Open dimensions approximately 66 x 24 x 35 cm; folded approximately 66 x 24 x 10 cm. Compatible with the Flexi Bath stand (sold separately).
• Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large: Suitable from birth up to approximately 6 years. Approximately 25% larger capacity than the standard model. Dimensions approximately 80 x 24 x 40 cm. Not compatible with the Flexi Bath stand. Newborn support is not included but is compatible when sold separately.

How much space each tub takes up

The bundle folds to approximately 66 x 24 x 10 cm, so it stores flat in a cupboard, behind a door or in a car boot. The X-Large measures approximately 80 x 24 x 40 cm, which is longer and taller when open. If your bathroom is tight or you plan to move the tub between rooms, the bundle's smaller open footprint is easier to manage.

Both weigh approximately 1.7 kg, so neither is a burden to carry. The X-Large's extra length is the trade-off for its larger bathing space, which suits growing children and siblings sharing.

What the bundle includes

• Stokke Flexi Bath Baby Bath & Flexi Bath Newborn Support Bundle - Ocean Blue: Includes 1 foldable baby bath and 1 Stokke Flexi Bath newborn support. You get newborn-ready support in one purchase, with no separate accessory to buy.

  

• Stokke Flexi Bath Baby Bath & Flexi Bath Newborn Support Bundle - Ocean Blue: The newborn support is ideal for use up to around 8 months or approximately 8 kg. This tells you how long the included support will serve your baby before you switch to the tub alone.
• Stokke Flexi Bath Baby Bath & Flexi Bath Newborn Support Bundle - Ocean Blue: Compatible with the Stokke Flexi Bath stand (sold separately). If you want to raise the tub off the floor, this model supports that setup.

What the X-Large adds and leaves out

• Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large Baby Bath - White: Suitable from birth up to approximately 6 years. A longer usable life than the bundle's approximately 4 years, which may suit families planning for more than one child.

  

• Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large Baby Bath - White: Approximately 25% larger capacity than the standard model. More room for movement and play, and enough space for siblings to share.
• Stokke Flexi Bath X-Large Baby Bath - White: Not compatible with the Flexi Bath stand. Newborn support is not included. If you need a stand or newborn support from day one, budget for the support separately and plan to use the tub at floor level.

Which one fits your bathroom and your baby

• Choose the bundle if: You have a newborn or are expecting, want the newborn support included, have limited storage space, or plan to use the Flexi Bath stand. The smaller folded size and included support make it a straightforward space saving baby bath for the first months.
• Choose the X-Large if: You want a tub that lasts to approximately 6 years, need extra room for a growing child or siblings, or plan to bathe outdoors. Accept that it takes more floor space when open and that you will need to buy the newborn support separately if you want it.
• Check before you order: Measure your bath or shower base and your storage spot against the open and folded dimensions above. The X-Large is longer and taller, so confirm it fits where you plan to use and store it.

A note on the heat-sensitive plug

Both tubs have a plug that changes colour as the water warms, giving a visual indication that the water should be checked. This is a prompt, not a measurement. The catalog states that neither tub is a thermometer, so always verify the water temperature with a separate thermometer before bathing your baby.
