 Bestest Baby Tub Ever January 2, 2009
This baby tub is the greatest! It fits securely in the sink, saving me from spending every bath-time hunched over the bathroom tub. The hammock works wonderfully! I kept my little guy in that hammock until he ran out of room, then I moved him to the reclined side until he once again ran out of room. Once he started splashing, I put the baby tub into the normal tub. I still pull it out when even I want my baby to sit still long enough to get his toes clean (he's too big for it now, but it still works!) Unlike most baby tubs, this one is deep enough that it holds enough water to actually stay warm through his entire bath (and he takes long baths!) The tub I used when my daughter was born was absolutely hideous, but this one is a dream! BUY IT!
Good tub January 1, 2009
Baby fits in tub fine and the sling helps keep him propped up, but once he's able to sit up, we'll stop using the sling. The drain plug turns white if the water is too hot, which is useful. The tub has a small shelf/recess for shampoo, towels, etc. that is also useful. The sling is detachable to hang up for drying.
The tub fits in our double bowl stainless sink and the faucet (high and curved) fits over it without a problem.
Works great, not expensive.
 Wrestling to Keep Baby Upright January 1, 2009
The sling option was nice for my newborn baby, but, as he got bigger I had to remove the sling because there was a big hump of plastic jabbing him in the back. Troubles started when he was an infant, his little body squirmed all over and I had to wrestle to keep his head up and not falling into the water and body from sliding.
I would skip this tub and use bathe a newborn in the sink and then invest in a Primo tub. That is what I ended up buying and it is WONDERFUL.
 Great for older infants/toddlers December 4, 2008
Our daughter is 9 months old and the First Years's tub is the best place we have tried for bath time. The grip on the seat helps our daughter to stay upright -- even when she is all slippery from being soapy. This was a big concern for us with the "adult" tub or the kitchen sink.
I also like how the bottom of the tub has "feet" that allow it to perch steadily on my sink basin while I give my daughter a bath. It's so much nicer to be able to stand and give her a bath than to try to kneel on the bathroom floor!
 Stressful bath time December 2, 2008

This looked like a a great tub to purchase. The sling was very appealing to me. Initially I thought the tub was great. It fit great over the kitchen sink, and my newborn cuddled nicely in the sling. However once sponge bathing was over and I began to add water to the tub, my baby was slipping out of the sling. No matter what adjustment I made to the sling, it was not working to keep my baby in place. I took the sling out and there was no improvement. The shape of the tub is so awkward. The water comes up high near the baby's mouth, and I am always concerned about water being swallowed. I added a teddy bear sponge to the bath and that helped out minimally. Maybe once my baby is sitting up on his own, the toddler side of the tub will work, but I am not waiting until then. I am getting rid of it right now. Bath time should be fun and right now bath time is just stressful.
