Really like it!
I just got this tub and our 2 month old loves it! Whenever he's crabby at night I just fill this up and he stops crying as soon as he lays in it. He looks so comfy and he could just fall asleep in it. He doesn't slip around either so I don't have to worry so much. The only problem I have is that when it drains the soap builds up on the sling part but I just spray it off with the faucet sprayer and wash it after every few baths.

great product!
This inflatable tub is exactly what I was looking for. When our 8 month old was clearly outgrowing her reclined infant tub seat (which I used in our kitchen sink) I was reluctant to just put her in our enormous soaking tub. She can sit up on her own but could certainly topple over easily on the slick tub floor. Furthermore I hated the idea of wasting so much water filling up the tub for such a little person!
This inflatable tub is perfect! It takes just a few minutes to fill up with the perfect amount of water for our little one! I don't worry if she loses her balance a little bit because she just bumps against the soft inflatable sides.
I suggest keeping it inflated because blowing it up took some serious lung power and patience. Also make sure the little plastic drain cap is completely closed tight. The first time I used it I didn't have the drain cap on tightly so it leaked. I haven't had a problem with leaking since I figured that out.
This is a great product for that transition time between newborn bath seat and big open tub. I highly recommend it!

this tub is the ONE!
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.

Very quiet very effecient.
My main requirement for a product as this is that it remain quiet. Before undershields I would stuff paper towels and tissue under my pits to prevent my sweat from showing through. They would rustle and embarass me to no end. Now that issue is irrelevant. You can easily forget that you have them on. They also absorb sweat well. However I think that in order to get the most out of them they have to be clean. I forgot to wash them for awhile and buildup caused them not to absorb as well. :D
