Not All Tubs Are Created Equally.
Finally, the perfect tub for my baby. I originally purchased The First Years, Sure Comfort Tub and absolutely hated it. My newborn daughter was constantly slipping down into the water and the tub also pressed into her back, marking her up. I finally purchased this when she was about 3 months old. I should have done it much, much sooner. This tub is amazing. I have been using it for almost 5 months now.
PROS:
.Fits perfectly in my kitchen's double sink.
.The center wall of my sink (divides the sink into two), is about 1in lower than the edge of the sink. This tub still works perfectly.
.Newborn Sling clips on easily and is very sturdy. I used this insert until my baby was about 4.5 months old (12lbs). Make sure you do not have the green seat attached when you are using the newborn sling.
.Green seat easily clicks into place.
.Comes with a rinsing bottle that made rinsing my daughters hair easier. It sprays like a shower.
.Tub is very large and spacious.
.Infant position is very comfortable. My baby never has any marks on her skin.
.The green seat provides the perfect position for infants to rest against. Their butts rest on the front part of the seat, with their body reclined back and their legs resting comfortably in the green seat (my baby is almost 8 months old & still mostly uses the reclined infant position 15lbs).
.Foam lining along baby's back keeps baby from slipping down. It really works.
.The seat is also very comfortable once baby is old enough to sit in it. My baby can easily lean forward or rest back into the seat.
.The green seat insert DOES NOT have any rough edges that can cut baby (many other reviews mention this).
.Comes with an attached hook to hang the tub to dry.
.Very sturdy. Tub can withstand A LOT of rough movement from baby.
.The body of tub (white) is a very thick plastic with a gloss finish.
.The green seat insert is very thick plastic with a matte finish.
.Green seat has drain holes that allow entire tub to drain.
.Tub comes in a large box already assembled. You just have to snap on the newborn sling or infant seat.
CONS:
.The green seat is pretty hard to take out. You have to use quite a bit of force. Not a huge deal, just loud and annoying.
.The drain plug is located under the green seat. So you have to remove the not so easy green seat every time you want to unplug/plug it. *see tip
.The newborn insert is very thin. No cushion at all. The entire sling is made out of mesh. Except for the blue trim that is around baby's head has a little bit of foam.
.Drain plug is also located on the bottom of the bathtub. Meaning if you use this on the floor or any flat surface, the tub will not drain unless you lift it.
.Newborn sling is not adjustable. Other tubs you can control how high or low your baby sits in the water.
TIP: I drain the tub while my baby is still in it, so at first this was a problem because of where the plug was. But you can actually reach your hand underneath the tub and push the plug up with your finger. Problem solved.
Overall, this tub is perfect. I wish I would have gone with this one first. It's better than First Years and 4moms. I highly recommend this tub.
