Posture is everything, especially at bath time. Start ‘em off right with the Primo Infant Bath ($12). The best way to bathe your little one is with them sitting upright, and the Primo ensures they stay up without you having to prop them against the side of the sink. No bending over for you, either. Suction cups hold the base down, and the design offers full leg and arm support. Perfect posture, perfect bath.

Primo Infant Bath
Infant Bath Tub
No throwing out baby with the bath water here! The Infant Bath Tub from Potty Patty ($14.99) suctions to the sink and holds your baby secure and ergonomically upright, leaving both of your hands free for scrubbing and rinsing. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is getting splashed with soapy water. (And dad owes you a chore or two, right?)
Spa Baby European Tub
It is total immersion in squeaky-clean with the Spa Baby European-style Baby Tub. ($44.95) Babies are most relaxed sitting up in water. (Nine months in the womb will do that.) So it only makes sense to sit baby upright for bath time, right? Right. Best of all, no more chucking your angel in the sink with all those nasty lettuce leafs and rotting onions.

bumGenius Diaper Sprayer
Dads, you will LOVE this. The bumGenius Diaper Sprayer ($44.95) is like a pressure-washer for cloth diapers. Just hold the blown-out diaper over the toilet and turn on the jet. It cleans off the sludgiest diapers, and even adjusts to a gentle spray for baby bidet action. Playing with tools, and no diaper mess: your days of gutlessly passing the clean-up buck to mom just may be over.
Bug Pod
You’re a pitiful slob. Fortunately, mom can help set a good example with the Bug Pod. ($34.99) This nifty little guy is the ultimate organizational tool for your baby. It holds shampoos, soaps and bath toys in one wall-mounted unit, so baby knows where everything is at bath time. Your kids should always do better than you. Here’s a good start, at least in terms of organization and cleanliness.
Rondo Toothpaste Cap
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: BRUSHING YOUR TEETH ISN’T FUN. So you need to make it fun if you want junior to brush proper. Start with the Rondo Toothpaste Cap from Alessi. ($10.50) This crazy guy fits over the tube, and dispenses toothpaste by pulling his hand away from his mouth. Shut him up again when you’re done. Brushing is suddenly fun! And soon it’s a habit.
WashPOD
Baby needs a good long bath, but how? The tub is too big, and the sink is too crowded with dirty dishes and rotting lettuce leaves. (Not to mention faucets.) Try the WashPOD ($28) instead. It’s specifically designed for bath time. The vertical shape holds your newborn in the optimum upright bathing position. And with the WashPOD, you don’t have to use your car-wash bucket anymore. Talk about win-win.

Otto Floss Dispenser
You know you need to floss. You know you don’t floss, except for the day before your dentist appointments, which occur as often as Knicks wins. Why? Because flossing was never fun. It’s too late for you, but not for your wee one. They have the Otto Floss Dispenser. ($15) This crazy monster pulls floss from its mouth to your child’s. Making flossing fun. Unlike how it was for you. Make flossing fun for Junior with the Otto Floss Dispenser.
Bear Cub Swaddle Blanket
Watch out for the ranger when baby is wrapped up in the Bear Cub Swaddle Blanket. ($40) He might think your little guy is trying to swipe picnic baskets. This adorable, smooshy soft swaddling blanket is as precious as it gets. Your baby will love being swaddled in hibernating warmth, and you’ll love how adorable he or she looks. Get the camera ready.
