Terrible Tub. Especially for small babies.
I originally purchased this tub because of the thousands of positive reviews and for the low cost. This is one of those purchases that I highly regret. When it comes to a baby bath, spend a few more dollars and get a better tub. Save yourself the headaches. After a couple months of trying to see the positive of this tub, I finally purchased Fisher Price's 4-in-1 Baby Bathtub. My daughter is currently 14 months old and we are still using the Fisher Price tub. It's fantastic!
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
•The BIGGEST issue I have with this tub is that the center of the bath has a raised hump that supports the baby once you stop using the sling. Problem with this is, when you are using the sling with a newborn, that dang hump digs into their lower back and causes a red indented mark. Every. Single. Time. This was one of the main reasons bathing my baby was so miserable the first couple of months. If you raise the sling as high as it will go so baby is no longer against this hump...well then your baby's body will barely be in the water.
•The sling is terrible! It provides absolutely zero support. My daughter was constantly sliding down. I had to keep one hand on her just to hold her up.
•No way to store this tub. It's huge and bulky and doesn't have a way to hang it to dry. I ended up just resting against the bathroom wall. Fisher Price's tub has a hanging hook!
•The padded sling takes forever to dry.
•Once baby is older there is no room for them to move around. The molded seats make it impossible for a curious baby to roam around and play with their toys. This means your baby will grow out of this tub very quickly.
THINGS TO LOVE:
•The top half of the sling is nice and padded. This is perfect for those delicate newborn heads. Newer versions of this tub no longer have this padded sling.
•Sling is adjustable. You can control how much of your baby's body is in the water.
•This has a very convenient shelf at the foot of the tub to store your bath essentials. I loved this feature.
•This tub is very easy to drain.
Overall, this tub was a waste of money. I cannot stress to you enough how important it is to have a quality tub. Especially as a first time parent. It will make your life that much easier. Spend a few extra dollars and go with the Fisher Price 4-in-1 tub. I stand behind that tub 100%.
