They can be safe for children, but we would advise caution when they are using them. It is not recommended that children under five use a hot tub, and they would be better off in a kids pool instead. You should also consult with your doctor if you are pregnant or have any heart conditions, in terms of getting in the pool, it’s always good to get some hot tub steps and there are also some great hot tub accessories too.
With older kids, you should never leave them unsupervised in the whirlpool bath. You should treat it as if you had a swimming pool in your yard, or you were at the swimming pool. Even children who can swim can fall victim to a tub because of the heat. Always be with your child when they are in the bath, and with younger children, limit their time in the tub to fifteen minutes.
