It's so much easier in my opinion. What I do is set up the baby bath (dry) outside of the tub, lay a towel down in it and I have another towel ready. Give him a bath in my lap, and then when he's done wrap him in the second towel and lay him in the baby bath outside of the tub. I take a quick shower myself then we both go get lotioned and dressed. Sometimes he's kinda active after a bath so i dry off one of his bath toys to keep him occupied while I shower.
