Just a bath tub review

Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn-to-Toddler Tub by The First Years

I keep meaning to post how much I like this tub. It has a sling for newborn, then a slanted back for a bit older, and a straight back for even older infants. The best part is it is designed to fit over your sink! We have a gooseneck pull-out faucet so it works perfectly to keep baby warm with running water and if the tub gets too full I can just pull the plug and it empties into the sink.

I wish I had known about it, or it had existed with Ds. We had a tiny kitchen with no counter space so we bathed him in the baby tub in the bathtub from the beginning. Ouch my back!

We had the 4-in-1 Bath Station by Safety 1st with Ds and it was awful. He always slid down the sling and once he could sit up it seemed really uncomfortable so we bought an inflateable tub instead (which I do recommend!).

Yup, we love it too! We used it until Kaya was around 18 months and then switched to a slightly deeper tub from Ikea.

Another vote for this. It was recommended to us by the salesperson at BRU but we didn't listen and went thru two other bath tubs before we finally got this. I can't remember if the BBB book reviews this. This would be my top pick.

I have one too and just love it! It spans perfectly across my clawfoot bathtub! I love the way the sling supports the baby!

Totally agree- fantastic product. That sling was a lifesafer for us as we were nervous new parents. We use it on the counter in the bathroom and I love that you can just slide it over the sink and pull the stopper to empty it too- no carrying it back over to the tub to dump!

I got this as a shower gift- filled with all sorts of Johnson's bath products, temperature duck, tub toys, etc. It was the coolest shower gift I received!

Loved it too. We used it until DD was 7 months old. Then she wanted to crawl around the big tub. But it was sooo great. And I love how it fits rigt into the sink. It was worth every penny.

We have this tub and love it as well! We used a different tub at Thanksgiving when we were visiting my inlaws and it was HORRIBLE. It made me appreciate how much I love this tub :) The sling is great because I don't feel like I'm going to drop the baby and it's easier to get her clean. We take the sling off once we have dd clean and she loves to splash around in the water while we hold her since she's not quite big enough to be in it by herself.

We lovd this tub until Logan was sitting up, and then he just wanted out!! He would arch his back against the toddler side and bathing him was really difficult, so we started using the big tub when he was really sitting well.
