A foldable bath tub includes a base, a rim, and a basin wall disposed between and interconnecting the base and the rim. The bottom wall has an upwardly extending crotch support. The basin wall includes at least one crease. The basin wall is configured to be positioned in one of a folded condition in which the basin wall is folded into itself at the at least one crease an extended condition in which the basin wall is configured to receive an associated child. Where in the extended condition of the basin wall a distance from the base to the at least one crease increases along a length direction of the bath tub from a first end of the bath tub to a second end of the bath tub.

Foldable bath tub

A foldable bath tub includes a base, a rim, and a basin wall. The basin wall includes at least one circumferential crease. The basin wall is configured to be positioned in one of a folded condition and an extended condition. When in the extended condition, the basin wall defines opposing lateral sides, a first back rest adjacent a first end of the bath tub and a second back rest adjacent a second end of the bath tub. When in the extended condition, the first back rest extends at a first angle relative to an associated subjacent surface and the second back rest extends at a second larger angle, and respective ends of the opposing sides of the basin wall nearest to the first end of the bath tub are offset a greater width distance as compared to respective ends of the opposing sides of the basin wall nearest to the second end.
