Customer Reviews

The only tub to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get anything else!!
A friend of mine suggested this tub because of the "hammock feature." Your baby is cradled in a "hammock" that attaches to the tub, making it super easy to bathe your newborn. The pads in the tub are soft and they are mold-resistant. It fits in any sink you put it in, single or double, and it will save your back, not having to bend over your own bathtub. I also like how it has a built in bath caddy to put baby's shampoo/soap/toys/washcloths whatever. My only two complaints are that the plug DOES NOT change color when water is too hot. When we used those little floating rubber ducks that have the word HOT on the bottom that turn white when the water is too hot, the plug didn't turn white. One day I filled it with scalding hot water (without my baby in it, of course) to see if it would change color and it didn't. I guess it doesn't matter anyway since you should ALWAYS check the water temp before putting your little one in it, but I thought it would have been a cool feature had it actually worked. My other complaint is that is is bulky and big and if you live in a little house like we do there is no room for it. However, I would still not recommend any other tub but this one.

Top Tub
The included sling was perfect when my baby was newborn, the inclined side was great from 2 to 5 months and now that he's 5 months and sits up with support, the seat side works great, too.

Lots of room for my 27" inch long baby to kick and splash (I just started putting the tub on the kitchen floor with a towel underneath and let him splash as much as he wants). It fit great in our single sink when he was smaller, too.

The insides and edges are smooth, and the "spongy" pads inside help with slippage; I keep my hands on the baby at all times, but when you're rinsing a wiggly baby's hair, holding on to him one-handed, you'll appreciate this feature.

I only wish the "fresh water" basin was bigger or that there were 2, one at each end.

perfect!
I wasn't sure when I was looking at tubs, but I'm glad I got this one. I used the sling for the first 2 weeks to sponge bath my 5 pound preemie, and despite his size, I felt that he was very secure, he stayed put. For those a little nervous about bathing a baby at first, (like my hubby) the sling is adjustable, so you can loosen it add a little more water, and use it for a regular bath. The drain plug warns if the water is too hot, which again is good for the nervous new parent. Now 2 months old, I use the infant, slanted seat side, and it works well for us. the padding reduces slipping. I also like the space to hold clean rinse water or bath supplies. The only thing they may want to add is a hook to hang this to dry, which some have. Otherwise, it's perfect and cheap. Some may be attracted to a few tubs that are bigger, but I think the size is perfect. It's roomy enough but not so big that the baby can "escape", or to mane the baby feel insecure. It's also easier to store than those monster tubs, too.
