Though most babies have no complaints about being bathed in cheap plastic tubs, one Italian company “clearly believes there is an untapped luxury market out there.” The MagicBath baby hot tub, from BluBleu, promises to take stressed-out infants on “a fabulous journey of sensory experiences.” Ten air jets pump out thousands of bubbles to caress the user in a warm whirlpool, while underwater LEDs provide “chromatherapy” by emitting blue, indigo, and violet light in a preprogrammed cycle. A baby can recline in the tub until about 6 months and then sit for the next six. Subsequently, life goes downhill.
