The First Years Newborn to Toddler Baby Bath Tub - Convertible 3-in-1 Baby Tub with Removable Sling - Ages 0 to 24 Months - Sure Comfort - Pink

Loved it. Need a bath tub for my infant. The spacing is amazing and it is very sturdy

My baby LOVES this tub and so do I! She’s a big fan of bath time but the newborn attachment makes it so much easier and makes me feel more comfortable giving her a bath. She doesn’t slip at all and she splashes around a time so it seems really safe. It is a little big but luckily it fits in our bathroom closet when we aren’t needing it.

With my first child, I scorned the idea of a baby bath. I ran a bath with a low water level in the regular bathtub and sat in it with her in my lap, her head on my knees and her feet against my belly. This worked great and saved the space a baby bathtub usually takes up, especially in our tiny house. Unfortunately, with my second child, I just don't have time for this everyday and so I ordered this baby bathtub. All in all, it's worked out better than I hoped.Even though my baby was a whopping 21" long at birth, I used the sling that comes with it for the first five months and it was fantastic at keeping my daughter from sliding around. She was too long to have her feet in the sling, but was comfortable enough with one foot in it and the other hanging over the edge into the tub. Now that she's 6 months, 15lbs & 26" long and can mostly sit up, she's okay sitting in the tub itself with a low water level - her feet can easily reach the foot end to kick or brace against it.I understand it has some kinds of notches cut out to fit on the rims of sinks, but that was almost useless for the sinks in my house; it fit awkwardly on the half-double sink in our old kitchen and not at all on our new Ikea bathroom sink. (I might have been able to squeeze it onto the pedestal sink in our guest bathroom, but the bathroom is so small, I didn't even bother to try it.) Most of the time I use it in the regular bathtub and and envy the people with sinks. :-) I usually just flip it over to empty, but the little plug in the bottom was handy the few times I used it in the kitchen sink so my mother wouldn't have to bend over. I also used it out on our deck on a hot day while my toddler was playing with her water table, which made for great baby water play.The little cup area at the feet seemed silly at first, but I have actually used it quite a bit. Most of the time it holds a small cup for pouring water and a washcloth or two, sometimes soap. The latest tip is that I can aim the bathtub faucet for it and pour warm water into it at a trickle; it fills up with slightly hotter water and then slowly overflows into the foot end of the main bath, a great way to keep the water warm if it starts going cold. It should go without saying, but ALWAYS monitor the temperature of the water!Perhaps the only downside still is the size. I usually prop it up to fully drain and dry at the foot of the bathtub, and then toss it out randomly on the bathroom floor until we next use it. I know my aunt figured out to prop hers up hanging on the wall over the bathtub on two hooks, which would be a good idea to try since my daughter will still be using it for another 3 to 6 months.Pros:* Easily supports slippery infants* Grows with your small wiggly one* Drain plug for easy emptying* Great for grandmothers and less nimble caregiversCons:* Space gobbler, if you have a small bathroom* Yet Another Baby Item, to some extent

This is the hands-down best baby tub out there. Don't let the price fool you - they could charge a whole lot more and still sell a bunch of these tubs because they are truly the best! The mesh sling is absolutely perfect for those first two months or so when baby is tiny and slippery. Fill the tub a little more than halfway and they lay very comfortably "in" the water while you don't have to worry about holding them steady with one hand and washing them with the other. This allows you to have both hands free and know that baby is safe. The little padded headrest is a nice added touch - it's not super thick but definitely is enough to cushion their little heads against the plastic. There are adjustable straps that allow you to lower or raise the sling depending on how submerged you want the baby to be.When you think baby is big enough to sit in the tub without the sling, you have several months of use still ahead of you. Our little guy got too long to stay in the sling but he was very skinny so he would slip down the seat a little bit. We resolved this issue by folding a washcloth and placing it under his bum before putting him in the seat. We absolutely LOVED this tub! We used it until he was about seven months old - at that point we felt comfortable that he could sit by himself in the big tub on a mat and not fall all over the place. The tub is great because when they get too big to lay back on the reclined seat you can turn it around and have them sit where their feet used to go. The way the seat is shaped makes it a comfortable tub for baby regardless of which direction they're facing.The only con is that there isn't a built-in hook to hang it like some other tubs have but that is such a tiny con it's barely worth mentioning. We would just turn it upside down in the tub to air dry and would run the mesh sling through the washing machine about once a week or so. It's so light that we always took it with us on overnight trips and it doubled as a "luggage" carrier. We'd put his hooded towel, washcloths, shampoo, a couple toys, etc into the tub and the whole thing would come with us so we knew he could have a safe bath wherever we were. So excited we're having baby #2 and get to pull this tubby back out!
