The First Years Newborn to Toddler Baby Bath Tub - Convertible 3-in-1 Baby Tub with Removable Sling -

I purchased this tub for my Grandson. He is a newborn (3 weeks old) and we used it for the first time yesterday. It was very easy to fill (we set it on the counter next to the sink) and also easy to drain (we scooted it over a little, unplugged the drain hole and let it drain into the sink) He did slide down a little in the sling because of how tiny he is, but it wasn't an issue. And as he gets a little bigger, it will fit him perfectly. I really like how the sling clipped onto the tub and is adjustable so we can keep him in the warm water but have control over how deep in the water he is. The head rest of the sling in slightly padded but not too much. The mesh is sturdy but not rough on his skin. The tub is a nice sturdy plastic. The foam on the inside is soft and smooth but not slick. When we were done, I dried the tub off with a towel and also patted the sling off. The sling was air dry within an hour. It slides under my bed easily for storage. I like that I can bathe him on the counter. I feel like I have better control over what is going on and he is safer because of it. I also don't have to bend over the side of the bathtub and sit on my knees while I bathe him. A BIG plus!! My daughter was given a different tub at her shower (that was FAR more expensive than this one!!). We really didn't like the construction and design of it and ended up returning it to the store. This tub is everything that we needed and wanted. Several other Mom's recommended this tub to us and with good reason. The more expensive tub (almost $60) was no where near as well thought out as this one nor was the construction as sturdy as this one. The other tub was also only intended for newborn and small infants. It was not made for toddlers. I would recommend this baby tub to anyone. Read more

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! Read more

Great tub. Strong, stable, easy to sit our 3 month old in with good support. Easy to clean. Read more

When bathing my son, I've tried multiple different options. I did sponge bathing, bathing in the sink, bathing in our tub, and using another infant tub. The other infant tub I had (don't remember the name) was too upright and didnt hold much water. I liked using our kitchen sink, but after a while of holding him my back hurt. He is now too big for the kitchen sink, anyways. When he out grew our kitchen sink I moved to our bathtub, but our bathtub was so big I 1) Had to sit in there with him, or lean over the tub 2) Use way more water than I needed to make it deep enough for a bath. That's when I decided to get this little tub. I love the infant sling. I wish I would've bought this tub when my son was smaller. He is 3 months now and is too big (about 15 lbs) to fit in the sling. However, I am saving it for my next baby. It would work perfectly. I like that it doesn't take too much water to fill up. I like that it is somewhat reclined so he can sit in there without me holding him (since he can't sit up on his own yet). I like how lightweight it is so I can fill it up and then move it to the counter. That way I can stand and bathe him instead of leaning over the tub. I like the holder at the edge of it to hold his soap and washcloth. It says it is an infant to toddler tub, but I don't imagine myself using this once my son is over a year old. I think it would be too small. But it works great now. I am very pleased with it. Best infant tub I've ever used. Read more

Love the vibrant pink color. The baby sling for newborns is a bit small, but will probably work well for smaller newbornss. My 2.5 month old sits fine in the newborn side with the slanted back. I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because non-slip tabs at the bottom are not that great. I have to put a towel underneath to keep it from sliding on my countertop. Otherwise I would buy again! I definitely like it better than other baby tubs I have used. Read more

Love the options for using both sides! Easy to use and dry. Wish there were draining holes on both sides but it still works. I love the extra attachment for the newborn. Having the seats be slip resistant makes me feel better about my baby not sliding around. Read more
