 Awkward and Uncomfortable...2 1/2 Stars... November 22, 2008
I used this tub for the first 6 months of my son's life, and I never really liked it. It was OK when he was a little baby and could fit in the sling part, but the pillow would get very cold very fast, and keeping him warm while trying to bathe him at the same time was a challenge.
When I took the sling out, the tub became a HUGE pain-in-the-butt. The seat area was almost too small for him, so he was always uncomfortable. Plus, he wasn't yet sitting up on his own, but laying back would make the tub tip backwards...even with water in it. What aggravated me the most though, was just how hard it was to get ALL the soap off his body. The water in the tub becomes soapy as you rinse him off, so unless you have a detachable shower head (which I do not) then there's soap on him when you pull him out.
I only used this tub maybe twice after removing the sling. At about 6 1/2 months, I ditched it and bought a bath chair...MUCH better! Overall, this was just OK as an infant tub, but no good for bigger babies. I do not recommend.
 Who knew a tub could cause so much trouble November 13, 2008
I have used this tub for my two kids and have never been happy with it. When using the hammock their back would lay right on that hump and it would leave a huge red mark on their back, I don't know how they put up with it. And only their little tushes were in the water, leaving me to constantly try to keep the rest of their body warm. The pillow also would get very cold. Without the hammock they keep slipping off that seat and can't seem to get comfortable at all. Then, we they are old enough to sit well, the dang seat is too small. At every stage, this tub has been a disappointment. We picked it because it was the fancier of the tubs, but honestly the 10 dollar Safety First tub has a better design and you can just buy your own toys.
 Well thought-out product November 11, 2008
Good design, easy to use for new mothers of newborns as the sling gives the baby support and mom less anxiety. Still useful as baby gets sturdier and mom gets more confident. Comfortable and well balanced with thoughtful little extras.
Very Disappointing ... Not Comfortable for Baby .. Difficult to Use October 22, 2008
I can't adequately express how much I hate this stupid, space-taking tub!!!! I agree with everything the other critical reviews of this product said. We bought it because it was cute and it looked like it would work well. The bump in the middle is an idiotic design flaw. If the manufacturers had tested the tub out with an actual baby in actual water, they would see how useless and scary it is. The bump makes it impossible to lay the baby down full length. The sling does not lift the baby off of the bump, but it does hold the baby almost completely out of the water (what's the benefit of that?). The inclined end does allow the baby to recline ... if you hold the baby at all times to make sure their [...] doesn't slip down past the bump. If it does, the baby could bump their little head. My major complaint is that the inclined section is too shallow, and that the deep part of the tub is too short. If you use the inclined part, you end up with a wet baby that is sitting out of the water getting cold. I think the "giant sponge" - type bath products (Safety 1st Comfy Bath Cushion) are best for newborns and then something like the Summer Infant Newborn-To-Toddler Fold Away Baby Bath or Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub would be much better.
This is a great tub!! October 13, 2008
I don't understand some of these negative reviews, my daughter is now 4 months old and has used this tub since she was a newborn, the hammock and the tub itself is great. The smaller end with pillow provides great support for the baby
