Redoing our only full bathroom…tiny tub/shower combo or walk-in shower?

We’re redoing the only full bathroom in our 3 bed, 1.5 bath, 1700 sq ft starter home. It’s in a great neighborhood with a mix of older folks and young families. We plan to stay here for another 5–7 years, likely moving once we have a second kid and outgrow the space.

The full bath layout is tight and a bit awkward, only a 48” tub/shower combo would fit. The alternative is a decent-sized walk-in shower. We don’t take baths ourselves, but we’re torn because:

• Baths are helpful for young kids (we’re planning to start a family soon). • We’ve heard tubs are a “must-have” for resale, especially for older buyers or families. • A 48” tub feels cramped and not super functional, while a walk-in shower could be much nicer day-to-day.

Is it worth squeezing in a tiny tub for future resale value, or would a well-designed walk-in shower be just fine? Curious what others have done or would recommend in a similar situation.

EDIT: To get a larger tub than 48” we would have to totally reconfigure the space and move the toilet, which doesn’t seem worth the investment.
Current bathroom dimensions: 80”x94”
