Baby Tubs Posted: 06-14-07 02:08am
I need some advice on baby tubs. I had a
baby tub with Nathan and it was awful. It
seemed very uncomfortable to him and he
would often slip down when he was a
newborn to about 2 months. I have looked
into ones with slings/hammocks, but have
read mixed reviews. I am sure I will get
mixed opinions on this thread but if
anyone is or has used a baby tub they just
loved, please let me know! I would like to
purchase one fairly soon.
i had a few diff kinds, i had the blue one
thats all connected they they lay at an
angle sitting up sorta, that was my
favorite one, another one i was given that
was like a mesh seat sorta and u placed
that in the regular bathtub to use, i was
afraid to use that one so im not sure how
well it would work lol. i had another that
had a part where when they are older they
can sit in but the other end was made more
for infants but that one leaked because u
could shrink it for jsut the seat part and
water seemed to leak out alot. now they
are bigger so i have the safety first seat
that attaches to the tub side wich i like
alot better then any other seat at all,
jordynne is 5 mths old almost 6 mths so
she cant sit alone yet but i sit her in
the seat and hold her up a little cuz she
is stil sorta small for the seat but thats
my all time favorite seat, and ilike the
baths that u put the water in so you could
bathe them on the floor in it rather then
have them hoisted on a counter or
something.

I really like this one. The padding keeps
him from sliding, although he likes to get
as low into it as he can so the water is
covering his neck. It looks like it will
be neat when he gets a bit older too.
Tub-To-Seat Bath Complete by: The First
Years
The First Years Tub-To-Seat Bath Complete
is one product that can take you from
baby’s first sponge bath all the way
through to a secure and fun family bathtub
experience. Use the bathtub in the sink or
on a countertop for your newborn and young
infant, and store all of your baby’s
bathing supplies in the drawer. Then, when
your baby can sit up, the tub easily
converts to a tub seat by using the
storage drawer as a safety clamp that fits
over the side of the family tub. This tub
really grows with your baby!

I have a blue one that has green grippers
on the bottom so that the baby sits at an
angle and it also comes with a sling. I
have really likes it and no problems so
far. It says its newborn-toddler..I'm not
sure if he will really be able to fit in
it as a toddler but its working great now!
I got mine at target and I think walmart
has them too..very cheap..

I used a blue plastic tub with a drain in
the bottom and it was squishy-foam lined.
I think it was from the first years. Then
I went to the tub ring/seat with the four
suction cups on the bottom when she was
about 4 or 5 months. I got rid of that
because now the only way to keep .Hannah
still is duck tape. You should see her in
the tub, she is everywhere. She pretneds
like she's a synchronized swimmer or a
tadpole or something. I think she
probably covers about a mile of distance
by the time we are done with her bath.
Now there is only about 2 inches of water
in there, because I am sure she would
drown herself!

It seems like a lot of people are happy
with the first years. It's great to know
that the babies tend not to slide on it.
I am almost decided on the first years.
There are a few others with slings but I
read that the slings tend to get moldy
pretty quickly and you have to wash them a
lot. I have way too much to do, like most
parents, to keep up on washing a sling to
prevent mold! The concept looks so great,
though.
I had a sling too and it's not that much
work...just clean it out when done
bathing baby like you would a baby bath
and then just let it dry in a nice air-y
place...I .N.E.V.E.R got mold...so i
didn't have a problem with it at all...my
mom had the first years one with my sister
and got a foam insert but it would mold
really quickly if not tended too right
away...she had to keep buying one every
few weeks...it was just a waiste...but it
helped her be more comfortable in the
bath...
