Portable Baptistry Woes

Well we are getting a portable baptistry for the new church. There are a lot of plusses to a portable system. Obviously the biggest one is flexibility. We could utilize it throughout the church (ie a special youth baptism service in the youth wing), we can use it in multiple locations in the worship center, and could even take it off site for church picnics etc. The problem is there are just not a whole lot of good options out there. I'm surprised no one has come up with a good system. We even checked with a local pool and spa place to see if they would custom build something for us. Nothing. I have a clear favorite out of the three choices below but am open to any votes you may have!

Hello kiddy pool?

The bottom one looks the most practical but the top one looks the best.

This is going to sound nuts but I'm serious. I was on a message board awhile back with some throwers and we got talking about ice baths for recovery purposes. One guy said he had gotten a giant tub from a farm equipment store he used to fill up with ice and water.

I wonder if we could get a giant tub and build something around it to look nice. I don't think something like that would be as portable off the stage though.

yeah - we actually used a big farm trough for one of our picnic baptisms before - they're pretty big and clunky - not sure it would work for our purposes. Just making it look decent would be a bit of a chore...
