The Design Challenge

The main challenge was to create a product that could effectively combine multiple functions while ensuring safety, comfort, and accuracy. Key challenges included:

  • Create a multi-function baby bathtub with integrated weighing capabilities
  • Ensure maximum comfort and safety for both parents and babies
  • Develop a product suitable for use from birth to 24 months
  • Integrate precise weight measurement and temperature monitoring features
  • Design an ergonomic shape with anti-slip functionality
  • Implement easy conversion between newborn and toddler positions

The Solution

Paraform’s approach to overcoming these challenges involved:

  • Multifunctional Design: The Aqua Scale combines a bathtub, digital scale, and temperature monitor in one product.
  • Ergonomic Shape: The tub features two positions – a lay-back position for newborns and a sitting position for toddlers, accommodating children from birth to 24 months.
  • Precise Measurement: The digital scale calculates the baby’s weight down to the ounce or gram, adjusting for water and movement.
  • Temperature Monitoring: A built-in thermometer continuously monitors and displays water temperature on an LCD screen.
  • Safety Features: An anti-slip pad ensures the baby’s safety and comfort during bathing.
  • User-Friendly Interface: The product includes easy unit conversion, memory function for tracking weight changes, and a clear LCD display.
  • Versatile Placement Options: The Aqua Scale is designed to either sit on a flat surface or in a custom-designed stand. It features rubber feet for extra grip, ensuring stability during use.
  • Practical Drainage Solution: The tub includes a drainage system that can be attached to a hose, making it easy to empty and clean after use.

Baby Patent’s Aqua Scale demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform everyday parenting tasks into opportunities for better care and monitoring. By combining multiple functions into one well-designed product, Baby Patent and Paraform have created a solution that not only simplifies parents’ lives but also contributes to the health and well-being of babies.
