Do you prefer having a tub with a shower curtain or glassdoors when bathing your kids? Need advice!

We are redoing our entire main bathroom and have a question. With regards to giving your kids baths (I have a 22 month old & PG with #2) do you prefer a bathtub with a shower curtain or glass doors?

I like the look of glass doors but am worried about the inconvienience. It will be half covered. I worried about my toddler banging on the glass or trying to move the doors.

Any input is appreciated!

We have shower doors right now and I HATE it! It is so annoying to give DD a bath. I would defintely do a shower curtian.

I just hate our shower doors in general Chat Icon The kids have nothing to do with it...I tell everyone if I ever do a bathroom again, I'll never have glass shower doors again. Such a pain to keep clean.

We have a large door so it's easy for baths though.

We had glass doors and took them off so we could bathe DD. So right now we have a curtain but still have the metal frame for the doors. A curtain is MUCH easier to deal with - I can't imagine doing it with doors!

If you have a choice, go with a curtain!!! Bending over the rail of the doors is a PITA!!

We redid our bathroom right before DD was born and even though I would have preferred the look of glass doors, I went with a curtain for convenience especially since I hope to have more than one DC and could not imagine how difficult it would be with a glass door causing half the tub to be covered if I needed to bathe both at the same time.

I am dreading the day I can't bathe dd in the infant tub in the sink because we have a tub with glass doors. just leaning in cleaning it is a huge hassle. Get a curtain

we just redid our bathroom. totally the curtain! you can always add doors later. right now, my setup lets me bathe two children together and reach them both. i wouldn't have it any other way!

we thankfully can still use the sink but I've tried the tub and I HATE our shower doors for bathing DD! I will take them off and replace them with a curtain when she outgrows the sink.

curtain 100%

now that we are house hunting, that is one of the things I look for! my ILs have a tub with shower door surround and its nearly impossible to bathe him there.

i also cringe at deeeep jetted tubs! how do you bathe your kids? Chat Icon

Definitley curtain!
We have glass door in the master bath and I HATE it!
We have curtains in the other bathroom (where kids take showers/bath) and its so much easier!

curtain...we fold it up and hang it over the rod so it is not dangling when we bath them....DEF a lot easier!

I grew up with a shower door at my parents' home (which I still use when I bathe DS) and I have a curtain in my home where I also bathe DS.

Honestly: it is just different. I don't really have a hard time with either. The shower door doesn't open fully and the shower curtains get moldy and grimey quickly (and are harder to really get clean).
