Customer Review: Great device espcially for that "Sponge Bath" period... but READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
Summary: 5 Stars
We love the system. We keep looking at others to see if we find one that we like better and it just isn't out there. I have already given it to someone as a baby gift since we loved ours so much.
I have read reviews on this product, and honestly... most of the complaints wouldn't be complaints if people would have read the instructions on how to use it past using the netting. I thought the little hump in the middle was a little strange, then I found out what it was for and I love the idea (it helps keep them from slipping down into the water when they are small but big enough to sit up.) I guess that you wouldn't think that a bathtub would require you to read the instructions, but with with the cool... but different... features, you need to.
My one actual complaint is that one of the scoops has a "scalloped" type edge. I haven't gotten even close to hurting the baby with it (not sure if you can), but I would like it better if it was smooth. I guess I need to go back through the instructions myself and see if there is a use for this :D Since this is just an accessory and not an important part of the system, this isn't too much of a concern.
I would definatly recommend this to anybody who has a baby or is getting ready to have one. Just take a few minutes before you use it the first time to familiarize yourself with it and do that each time you need to take your baby to the "next step" of this system.
Customer Review: Great tub! It grows with your baby!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tub! I bought it before my daughter was born and have used it ever since she was 1 month old. The hammock worked great at supporting her full body, then once she passed the 10 pound mark (as recommended) we removed that completely and placed her in the small end. The recline on that end is great for infants who can't hold their head up, and the hump in the bottom of the tub keeps them from sliding down. We kept her in the small end even when she could sit up by herself because she would slide around in the larger end when she would move. The recline is also a great benefit, as you can lay your child back to rinse out their hair. Our daughter is now 16 months old and is able to sit in the large end- she still slides around a bit when she splashes as there is quite a bit of room, so I switch her back & forth between ends to ensure she feels stable, although the sliding has never phased her! I will agree with other reviewers that there is no "toy with a thermometer for testing the water temp", it's simply a gadget that attaches to the tub and holds the other 2 toys. ** Overall, it's a great tub for anyone who likes products with multiple stages (3-in-1, etc) that grow with your baby! **Customer Review: Great tub!

I really liked this tub, I received it as a baby shower gift. It is great for newborns because only their back is in the water (so their umbilical stump and new circumsision do not get wet!).
When the baby gets a little bigger, you can unclip the bottom part of the hammock so it becomes more like a pillow for the baby's head while they recline in the tub. The hump in the middle comes in handy because it makes it so the baby can't slip and lay down completely in the tub.
When the baby gets even bigger, remove the sling completely and they can sit in the bigger end.
My son loves to splash, so the floor around the tub always got wet.
The little toys are nice because they can be used to rinse off the baby.
It also has a stopper so if you are using it in the actual bathtub, you can just pull the plug instead of dumping the tub out!
My son is now 10 months old, and we finally had to trade in the tub for a bath seat in the real bathtub because he finally outgrew it. But I loved it the whole time we used it!!
I'm going to add some photos of my son from when he was younger under customer photos, feel free to take a look :)
Customer Review: Finally a tub that worked
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this tub. I first bought the Summer Infant bath with the spray,and while I still really miss the spray, this tub is MUCH MUCH better and makes bath time less stressful. I bought it after my son was a newborn, so I didn't get to use the sling feaure. Right now he is using the sling as a back rest and sits up in the seat. WOW that makes all the difference! He can sit upright and I can bathe him much better than before. I can use both hands, too. The toys that come with it are a great little addition, it helps with washing hair and getting baby clean.(but the toy that attaches to the side is kinda useless!) The drawbacks are that it doesn't look like it will truly hold a toddler but we will see. It's hard to wash the back of it b/c of it's shape, but that is minor. Also, the plug doesn't drain the water at all, you have to hold it up to get it out. Other than that,it's a great tub that doesn't take up much space. And it really does look cute. I would reccommend this over what I used to have b/c you can sit the baby up. that makes so much of a difference! It's a little too expensive but pretty well worth it.Customer Review: Like this tub best.

When my third child was born, we got this tub. It has been the best yet for us. From infant stage to now 6 months old, my daughter has fit snugly. As an infant, the sling is perfect because you can't immerse the baby while the stump is still attached. We used the tub on the counter by the bathroom sink, which worked very well while she was in the hammock stage. Once her stump fell off, and she was able to control her head well, we lowered the bottom half of the hammock into the tub and let baby's bottom rest in the nook that is created between the hump and the top part of the tub. A perfect angle for baby to rest comfortably while getting a bath. This is the position in which we currently use our tub. Now, however, we bathe her in the Aquarium tub instide the bathtub so we don't have to worry about where the water lands. Finally, once baby is old enough to sit without support, we'll remove the sling altogether and let her sit in the wide end of the tub to play during bath time. No doubt our daughter will enjoy this final transition in the short weeks ahead.
