Description of Leachco Bath 'N Bumper - Cushioned Bath Tub - Blue Fish
It's a slippery transition when going from the infant tub to the family tub! Our Bath 'N Bumper is a tub in a tub that makes bathing your child so safe and easy. It is constructed of a soft open weave polyester fabric made especially for the bath. It's filled with polystyrene beads to give lots of cushion and support. The contoured sides actually act as bumpers. Just bathe, shake and hang to dry...what could be easier?Baby Products Reviews of Leachco Bath 'N Bumper - Cushioned Bath Tub - Blue Fish
Customer Review: Not perfect, but a good bath solution. (Make that really good.)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this product for a bit over two months and so far have not had any real issues with it. I bought it when my baby was starting to sit up and getting too big for her old tub (the cheap blue plastic kind you put in the kitchen sink). It's not particularly portable and you do have to fill your whole bath with water, so if those will be problems for you, I think you'd have to get an inflatable tub. I personally find this much nicer than the inflatable sort because she doesn't slide around all over the place, which would also be a problem if I just put her in the big tub.
One reviewer mentioned that the sides were not filled all the way with beads, but this is not actually a problem because when it's in the water, the beads sort of float up anyway. My baby does try to climb out but I don't think that has anything to do with the product. The only things I would mention is that because of the way the sides float up, it is a bit smaller than it looks at first. Also it would have been nice if there were some rubbery grips or something on the bottom as it does have a tendency to slide a bit. And something that really should be mentioned in the product description is that you are not supposed to use any sort of moisturizing soaps in it as this can increase the liklihood that it will mildew. Despite that, I've been continuing to use Burt's Bees liquid baby wash (which contains "plant moisturizers" or something like that) and occasionally Burt's buttermilk bath powder. I don't have any problems yet (but it's probably too soon to tell) but I can say that the tub seems to be drying out within 24 hours despite living in a damp chilly climate (but then, it's summer).
UPDATE: I've had this bath now for 2&1/2 years and if I could, I would upgrade my rating to 5 stars because it's held up so well and for $25 has been so worth it. My daughter was still using her "boat" at 35lbs/36in though she didn't need to anymore. Then when my infant son was ready, we switched him over to it. There is room for this to sit in the bath and still have another kid sit next to it. I did eventually notice it starting to smell musty (particularly after using the Buttermilk Bath) but I just put it the washing machine. I don't use detergent becuz the 1st time I noticed a ton of suds in the washer and realized it must have soap built up in it already. I just rinse it in water and it comes out feeling a lot lighter and smelling fine. Occasionally it it's still stinky after rinsing, I'll put a bit of bleach in the wash too and that takes care of it. The only caveat is that I do have a front loader and I'd be a bit leery about putting this in a washer with an agitator- I'd hate to have it tear and get those little beads everywhere. Also there was a slight bit of padding on the bottom that came loose in a wash and is now bunched up to the side but the kids don't seem to mind. Oh, and we flip it over and use it as a pillow when it's time to wash my daughter's hair. So, all said, I still think this product is way better than any of the other options out there and would highly recommend it.
