Baby Products Reviews of Summer Infant Newborn-To-Toddler Bath Center & Shower
Customer Review: Great Tub
Summary: 4 Stars
I read all of the negative reviews about this tub, but decided to give it a try anyway, mainly for the shower feature. I have been using the tub for 6 weeks now and I think it is great. One time I thought the shower feature had stopped working. I followed the directions as to what to do if the spray did not work, but I had no luck. I even tried to replace the batteries. I e-mailed the company and they responded very quickly about sending me a new shower feature and no cost to me. After doing some experiementing with the tub I discovered that I had not put quite enough water in the compartment. I have not had a problem with it since then. The sling does not fit in my sink, but I have used it in the tub with my newborn, which works fine. The only negative thing I have to say about the tub is the shower compartment does take up a lot of room, but I just place it outside of the tub. I don't think I would be as happy with any other tub, and my baby loves the spray!Customer Review: Sling fabric smells and tub is slippery
Summary: 2 Stars
Even when the sling fabric is far up outside of the water, it absorbs water up to the top of the sling during the bath, like a sponge, and so my baby's hair gets wet even when I didn't intend to wash her hair. And then the sling fabric seems to have a smell when it dries - not quite a mildowy smell but something perhaps in that family. I took the sling out when my daughter was 5 months old because even though she needed it and it still fit with her on it, she kept sliding down the material. The material is not nubby enough to prevent sliding. But when I started putting her in the bathtub without the sling, the bathtub is so slippery and her butt kept sliding every which way and I spent most of my time trying to keep her from sliding onto her back. Maybe it will work better when I buy a bathtub-type non-slip pad. By the way, I never used the shower spray. The pressure was too low and it was easy enough to rinse the baby without it. It just took up space.Customer Review: Good concept in writing only!

I too was excited about buying this product for my baby. She outgrew her little infant tub but is still a bit wobbly sitting up so I wanted to get something that would protect her and have some fun in to. She loves to try to catch the water when I used to use the pitcher that came with her infant tub so I thought this new shower tub was going to be great!The first one I bought only worked twice and when I say worked I mean very poorly. The box states the water is a gentle stream, more like a trickle! The button you push to make the water come out kept getting stuck so the motor just kept trying to pump!
I returned that one, thinking it might just be one faulty one out of the bunch, but soon found out the product is just faulty! The second one would not even pump at all!
Needless to say, I returned it too and just bought an inflatable tub and continue to use the pitcher from the infant tub she outgrew. Same concept but a cheaper solution!
Customer Review: Great For Toddler Tub, That Is It
Summary: 2 Stars
I must say the shower feature on this unit is what attracted me to the purchase, however my daughter is 14 months old and the shower never worked. My husband and I followed the directions and only once did we get it to "successfully" spray, but this was after a frustrating bath attempt and an infant who just didn't want to sit through our experimenting, but never did it work again. The bath sling was also a disaster. The shape of the sling and hieght positions just never fit my daughter, who was not a small baby, at any stage and was completely useless for sink baths since it was just too long to fit. However, now that she is older the tub itself works perfectly for her baths, just enough room to play without wasting too much water, but I would never recommend this product based on its initial marketing ploys. There are much more inexpensive ways to bath a toddler that do not include 2 out of 3 of the function on the tub not ever working properly.Customer Review: Not all its cracked up to be....
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a four month old who bathed in the bathroom sink until recently. First day I tried using this tub I noticed slight assembly was required so I tucked it away until I purchased batteries and had some spare time to put it together. When I finally got around to using it, I was unsatisfied. There wasnt enough leg room when you use the sling and without the sling if your baby cant sit up on his own its impossible to use. My son kept sliding down and I wasnt able to have both hands free to wash him. I found the tub over all uncomfortable for me and the baby didnt look like he was very comfortable in it either (and he loves taking baths). The shower thing worked fine (the two occasions I used it)but it was awkward to use so I dont use it anymore. (this was the whole reason I chose the tub in the first place). No matter what position you put the sling in it just wasnt working out for me. I plan on returning it for a traditional tub.
