Save yourself the time and energy looking for a baby bath tub and head straight for this one. I’m so happy with this tub that I find myself making more time for bath time with my baby! First of all, it’s just so darn cute. But seriously, here are my top reasons for loving this tub:
1) For the infant stage, no sling to mess with. Although a sling sounds nice and hammocky, you won’t miss it. Sling issues from my experience include sagging, baby suspended over the nice warm water, not actually in it! Hard bumps for baby’s tender back or bottom. None of those issues here!
Instead of the sling, it’s much simpler…baby’s back rests against the soft, oval padding you see in the picture. Baby is kept from sliding down into the tub by a removable ledge, which leaves more of baby actually comfortable and IN the water with legs free to move and kick, which makes bath time more fun and enjoyable! By the way, it will take a little muscle power (not a bad thing) to remove the ledge when baby can sit up.
2) For the 6+ months stage or when baby is sitting up, remove the ledge you have a basin large enough for baby to sit comfortably and play without knees knocking against the edges, yet it’s not so large that it takes up too much space or baby feels insecure. I also like the depth. It can be filled with enough water without having to be filled to the brim.
3) It comes with a perfect little accessory: a baby whale strainer that is (a) cute, (b) functional, (c) fun toy. First of all, this baby whale is just adorable. Secondly, it’s very useful during the infant stage, especially if you’re not using the kitchen sink sprayer. Simply scoop up water and allow it to flow through the strain holes to rinse baby or tickle baby. Lastly, when baby starts grabbing, it becomes FUN for him or her. Curiosity, cause and effect, those lightbulb moment looks. Just priceless, and again it’s so simple.
4) It fits in the kitchen sink perfectly. It also works on the counter top since it has non-skid type material underneath -still use common sense and stay beside baby & tub. It fits in the bath tub as well. So, where ever you want to use it, the tub should work.
5) Price – this tub is the best value AND quality I’ve found. Many other tubs cost more, but they have features that don’t live up to expectations.

I think this tub would be fine if the legs had screwed in properly. For one thing, you need a standard looong screwdriver… we only had a shorter interchangeable one that came in a toolkit and it could not reach. The biggest problem was that even when screwed in, the legs were still wobbly. So, we tightened the screws a bit more, and then a bit more, and then it broke… the leg broke off and when we turned the tub over, the screw had started to come through the plastic of the tub. The directions DO say not to overtighten, but with the legs so unstable, I didn’t think it was safely tightened enough!
So, just beware that this could happen, and perhaps your experience with the tub will be great! I plan on calling Fisher-Price to see if I can get a replacement or a certificate for a different style tub.
Good luck!

I used a Safety First one for 2 sons and didn’t like the small crevices in the end where soap and slime could eventually collect. I also didn’t like that the no-slip rest was too low and one little kick from baby and he’d slide down into the water with his back over the butt rest. I checked out a Eurobath, but it is much to large for kitchen sink/counter bathing and stooping over a tub to reach a slippery baby isn’t easy. But I know some people always think higher price means better quality. (This isn’t always true!)
After searching I came across this, the ‘butt-stop’ is more adequate for babies and is removable for bigger kids. The surface has no small areas making bleaching/cleaning easy. It also fits securely onto the sink, better than any others I’ve tried. The only downside is there is no sling for spongebaths when they still have their umbilicle cords. They usually only have their cords a short time so that is alright with me in the long run.
UPDATE: After daily use for 1.5 months I’m still happy with this tub. I’ve also discovered that it drains really fast which I love.

This is the best baby bathtub! It’s perfect for my 6 pound baby. She is well supported by the bump and doesn’t slide down or slump over to one side. The size is just right to keep her in place so I can have one hand on her and one hand free to grab soap or the washcloth or towel. I started using it right after the belly button stump fell off when she was ten days old. I had another tub for my first baby, but this is so much better. If you’ve been looking for a good baby bath, this is it.

We have had two other tubs before we bought this one. They were both horrible and we needed to hold our baby’s head out of the water, which meant that two of us needed to bathe him.
This tub is fantastic. The “stopper” is wonderful and our little guy can relax/splash around in the water. We don’t have to hold his head out of water. We also like that it is small enough to store in our closet without taking up the entire space.
This tub is definitely recommended!
