Will a 36 in little inflatable pool fit in a shower stall at FW?

[dreambound]

My youngest is terrified of showers, but I can't have him going 10 days without bathing. I found a little 36in diameter inflatable pool (little one-ring thing) to use in the shower stalls at FW. I would just fill it with a little bit of water from the shower and then let him bathe in the little tub.

Will this pool fit in there?

Thanks!

It should fit, they are small about 3ft x 3ft.

I used to bathe my little ones in a plastic storage tub. I used it to store the pots and pans in my camper. I would fill it about 1/3 of the way with water and let them play just like they were at home in the tub. I did it right at the campsite. The tub was opaque, so they couldn't be seen, and I picked them up in a towel and took them inside to dry off and dress, then dumped the water. I also tried to find soap that wouldn't hurt the environment. At the end of the trip, I would wash the tub and repack my pots and pans in it and store it all in the camper for the next trip. That way I didn't need to bring any additional things for them...just multi-tasked with what I had.

We also have used the storage tub, but we take it to the shower. Fill it, wash em up and you are good to go. It works great.

Do the campsites have hot and cold water? We'll be there in December so obviously we can't do just cold. I'm probably imagining it will be colder than it will actually be at that time, but I wonder if it might be too cold for an outdoor bath?

Thanks!

Funny you should ask that.....Last time we were there it was December! The first two days were a bit chilly, but it warmed up after that to shorts weather.

As for the hot and cold water, we have a water heater in our popup so that wasn't a problem.

Are you tent camping?

Yup, we'll be in a tent. Last time we were there it was late Nov, early Dec and it was reallly chilly a few nights, but a few days we were stripping down our layers. This is our first FW trip though.

There is no hot water at the campsites, only the comfort stations.

Thanks! We'll just stick to taking the little inflatable pool and hope it fits. I saw a product in the baby section of Target that is a little inflatable bathtub. It's a few inches smaller than the one I got but it costs 6 times as much.

We're not cooking this time and we're going to be on the dining plan, so a little extra work with bathtime won't be a big deal. Anything to get a really wild little boy clean!

It might be a tight fit in the regular shower stalls but the handicap stall is much larger and also has a hand held shower head so you can get a good clean rinse with out getting water on his face. You should have no problem in there.
