 My daughter loves this tub!!! July 3, 2008
My daughter is now 13 months old and I still give her a bath in this tub. I got it for a baby shower gift so I was able to use it from birth. I never used this in the sink, just in the tub, so I've never had any problems with it. I like the bump that is in the tub, because when they can't sit up on their own it helps prop them up. I don't agree with the comment about the baby being out of the water too much and gets cold. I never had that problem with my daughter, I just kept wiping her with warm water. I love this seat and highly recommend it.
 I think a bucket would work better. June 30, 2008
This tub is very disappointing. Let me tell you why:
1) The newborn stage hammock is very badly designed and really has very little support. You have to tighten the straps very tight because if you don't, the baby is supported by the tall piece in the middle separating the two halves of the tub. The folks at fisher price were kind enough to mold this with an indentation for the baby's body, but honestly, would YOU like to be held up by a single beam placed horizontally across your back?? I tried to pad it with a couple of washcloths after it caused a bruise (and my son was not terribly wriggly when he was a newborn), but that did little to abate the problem. When you do tighten the hammock straps so as to alleviate the pressure from the evil plastic piece, the baby is literally out of the water, plus the hammock itself leaves no room to dunk a cup or scoop in to ladle water over the baby. What an unpleasant experience!
2) The second stage (reclining end) keeps most of your baby's body, again, out of the water even when filled as much as you can get it. See those pictures on the box? They must be edited, because the actual tub is nowhere near that deep! (the bubbles do look kind of fake) My baby is also long, so his head hits the rim of the bath and did so from day 1. This made it hard to actually wash him without getting water everywhere. I had to resort to padding this with washcloths, which were necessary in any case because the plastic is too slippery to support a baby.
3) Third stage for TODDLERS? It would be nicer if you had somewhere to dunk your cup/hand so that you can rinse the baby. I'm not having a huge problem with this part right now except for that divider again. It cuts the tub size down for the third stage quite a bit, and is entirely too small if your baby likes to move around at all. My baby is 4 months old and this end barely works for us. I honestly can't imagine the third stage working for ANY toddler and am currently shopping around for a new tub.
Some things to consider after reading my review: My son has grown rather quickly. At 4 months, he is over 16 lbs and almost 27 inches long. He was average weight/length at birth, but is now quite large. (he's also exclusively breastfed and I have been told that breastfed babies don't usually get quite so big so fast). Hope this helps!
 I Thought I would Be Able To Use This Longer. June 28, 2008
I bought this for my baby and thought it was awesome until she outgrew the sling which didn't take long at all. She cannot sit up on her own yet which means the tub is absolutely useless. I am throwing this out and buying something else. What a waste of money.
Couldn't live without this tub!! June 25, 2008
We purchased this tub after reading other reviews. Mostly for the hammock. Our twin boys are now 4 months and love this tub!! The hammock makes them feel secure and allows us to have both hands free while bathing them. No more of trying to hold a slippery, wet baby with one hand and wash them with the other.
The other great thing is that the tub can adjust as the boys grow.
I would definitely recommend this tub!
 Great tub June 12, 2008
We got this tub as a baby shower gift and couldn't be happier. Our baby is 11 months old and we still use it. She loves to play with the little cups that comes with the tub. The net was a very convenient way to bathe her until her umbilical cord came off.
