Baby Products Reviews of Summer Infant Fold N' Store Tub Time Bath Sling
Customer Review: Sling good. One major flaw.
Summary: 4 Stars
We were given the smaller non-fold and store bath sling for our daughter. We found it much easier to bathe her in it than in a tub. The sling helps the baby feel secure, and makes it possible for only one person to bathe a newborn, rather than having one parent hold him/her and the other do the bathing. We bought the bigger sling when my daughter outgrew the small one. In general, I always recommend bath slings to new parents, rather than bath tubs (we have 2 tubs and both were used once). So as a whole, I would indeed recommend bath slings, especially the ones from Summer.
We decided to get this particular sling when our son was born, because the big sling was a bit of a pain to store (still too wet to take out of the tub) when it was time to bathe our now-toddler-aged daughter. The idea was to fold this up and put it up against the tub wall to dry. Well, not so easy. The construction requires the piece of metal propping up the head to clip to another piece at the bottom, basically forming a triangle that holds the baby at an angle. Unfortunately, the part that clips the two bottom pieces together is EXTREMELY difficult to clip on and off. It takes quite a bit of strain from both of us to unclip it to store it, and we ended up propping it up, unfolded, against the tub wall, which we were doing with big sling anyway. This took away all the potential advantage of having a folding sling, as this sling is much smaller than the normal small sling. I was only willing to compromise on the size if it allowed easy storage, so we went back to the big sling.
However, it is possible to fold it, and if you're not doing it that often, it can be a blessing. We folded it and took it on vacation with us. We left it unfolded the entire time we were on vacation, but during travel, it folds up neatly and fits into a suitcase.
In general, I would recommend this only for travel, not everyday use, since your baby will probably outgrow it very fast. I would recommend the big Summer bath sling instead for everyday use.
