After 30 years, the iconic Tummy Tub baby bath has been renewed. What began as an initiative in the maternity ward of the Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital in Nijmegen, has since grown into a beloved product worldwide – and now comes the next step: the Tummy Tub 2.0.
A 1994 icon gets an upgrade
In 1994, a young mother developed a womb-shaped baby bath in cooperation with the maternity ward of the Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital in Nijmegen. After 30 years and millions of models sold, an improved version is now available.
100% Dutch craftsmanship
Tummy Tub® is manufactured entirely in the Netherlands, in cooperation with AKF Plastics – a leading company that normally produces parts for the high-tech sector. This cooperation guarantees excellent quality and allows us to monitor every step of the process locally.
Why produce locally?
Complete quality control: From raw material to finished product, everything is monitored under Dutch supervision.
Fast turnaround & reliable delivery: Without depending on global transportation chains.
Sustainable from start to finish: Fewer transportation miles = lower carbon footprint, in keeping with our mission to have “the smallest carbon footprint of any baby bathtub.
Strong Dutch economy: Through local production, we promote employment and invest in craftsmanship here close to home.
Moreover, this fits with our vision: every visit to the Tummy Tub bathtub is a loving moment between parent and child, and that deserves attention, detail and safety. The beginning of that special bond starts with quality production – craftsmanship that is felt in every tub.
Thicker, firmer and more comfortable
The new version is made with a completely new mold. As a result, the walls of the tub are considerably thicker, which offers several advantages:
The water stays warm longer, providing extra comfort for the baby.
The tub feels more robust and has even better stability.
AllergyCertified: safe for the most sensitive skin
Tummy Tub is the world’s first baby bathtub with the Danish AllergyCertified seal of approval. This means the tub is completely free of harmful substances and suitable for even the most sensitive baby’s skin. A reassuring thought for parents who are increasingly conscious about what they use for their baby.
Environmentally friendly in every way
Low water and energy consumption
Minimal material deployment
Recycling programs for old bathtubs
And a unique partnership with AKF, which offsets CO₂ emissions through its own forest near Kootwijk.
