Baby Products Reviews of 4moms Cleanwater Infant Bath Tub with Digital Thermometer
Customer Review: leaked, but was fixable...
Summary: 4 Stars
I read some criticisms and I agree that some of the plugs initially leaked and had to be fixed by my husband (not a big deal). It's absolutely something the company could improve upon.
The real bonus of this tub is that when baby pees, there is an opportunity for it to flow out through the drains. There are many drains on the tub and at various depths. Once I lather up the baby, I unplug the bottom drain and rinse him completely, the replug if he wants to play in clean water. This feature is wonderful, as with my previous tub I was forever trying to get the soap off of him and wondering just how much of the tub had pee in it. With the "flowing" tub, I feel much more confident that the baby is clean, and soap free after his bath. Another thing is that he really likes the flowing water.
The thermometer works well, so long as you don't drench it. It could be sealed/contained better. I once doused it and then had to dry it for days, and it ultimately resurrected itself, thankfully. Bottom line, don't run your water over the thermometer, but the sensor. This requires you to keep the pressure low, so as not to have it splash all over the thermometer area either. It is best to dry this tub upside down with the thermometer on the top end, so as not to drain INto the thermometer area.
I love the concept, I use the tub exclusively....although I think there could absolutely be improvements made to it - I would still buy it again.
Customer Review: One of our best baby buys
Summary: 5 Stars
OK. We didn't buy this ourselves, but we put it on our registry. We love this tub and are sad that soon our girl will be too big for it. This tub has been great. It has definitely been one of our top baby items.
We love that there is always clean water in the tub, and the reservoir keeps the tub water from getting to hot or too cold too quickly which is great since my daughter tries to grab for the hot water handle. If she ever did turn up the hot water, the alarm on the tub would go off, and the initial pool of clean water would temper it before it reached my girl.
My only real complaint about this tub is that it slide around in our double sink if nothing else is under it.
PROS
* Easy to use and fits easily in our double kitchen sink.
* Temperature control is great! No cold water, no scalding water.
* Allowed us to bathe our girl standing at the sink till she gets too big.
* Always clean water.
* Easy to drain, rinse, and refill when pee/poo happens in the tub.
* Padded tub seems comfortable and very safe
CONS
* Probably bad if you are trying to conserve water under drought conditions.
* Bulky to store
* Slides around in sink (put a washcloth under it to stop that)
* Wish there were a bigger version for older infants
All in all, we have loved this tub. Our girl gets excited when she sees us setting it up.
Customer Review: Nice tub but thermometer broke early on.
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this bathtub for our son and started using it when he was just a few weeks old. It is a nice tub - I like that its designed for the water to continue flowing through it during the bath. There is a reservoir in front to catch the water coming out of the faucet and then that spills over into the shallow tub area for your baby. It comes with a cup for washing your baby and the bath has two holders for the cup, which is very convenient. The major problem I had with this tub is the thermometer. The fact that this tub had the thermometer was the reason we purchased it, but the thermometer broke after three months. One day it just started flashing and making a buzzing noise, and replacing the batteries had no effect. So we had to go out and purchase a tub thermometer anyway, which is what we were trying to avoid in the first place. I was disappointed that the thermometer wasn't made to last longer. If I had known that it was not going to hold up, I probably would have purchased a less expensive bathtub with a separate water thermometer.Customer Review: Love the Clean Water
Summary: 5 Stars
This bath tub has been in use for over three months at our home and we appreciate it every night. We place the tub over a standard double-basin sink and it fits perfectly. The temperature sensor is very helpful - I cycle the water through at a good clip, so the temperature in the bath is really not any colder than the sensor states. The digital sensor is definitely worth the extra money. Also, the shape of the tub makes it really easy to turn baby over and wash her back. She just kneels on the non-slip pad and dips her hands in the reservoir. Most importantly, though, the tub is very simple to clean if baby goes to the bathroom in the bath. With several outlet holes in the tub, we can pick baby up and I have clean water in the tub before baby even gets cranky about leaving the warm water. Our baby loves bath time and I think it is largely because this tub has made it so low-stress from the beginning. I only wish it was a little bit larger, as our child is tall and she is outgrowing it far too soon.Customer Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
The product is good and does the job, the heat monitoring features is good which i personally like. The size is good and the baby is comfortable in it. The outlets are placed in 3 locations which allows for easy control of how much water is present in the tub.
The improvements could be :
a) It does not show the actual temprature of water in the tub, but the flow in, this kind of brings us down to testing with our hands at times, so you might as well go for a cheaper tub without temp control. The temprature sensors should be moved to the bottom of the water flow side which gives a better picuture of the temparature of water flowing to the baby side of the tub.
The outlet flaps are little flimsy and came off easily exposing a hole, though it was no big deal putting it back.
Overall i would recommend this product since the temprature control turning color based on the temprature adds to the fun for the parents to give baths more than anything else.
