I registered for and received a toddler tub at my shower but after reading up on it, I think I want to return it. I wanted a tub I could use from newborn until the child is old enough to use the regular tub, and I've heard a sling is very useful. There are very few tubs with slings and none of them have good ratings.
Can anyone recommend the tub they have?

Re: Baby/toddler tub???
I'm not sure, but I would love to get recommendations as well. I registered for two different ones, because I wasn't sure. I would love to hear opinions.

Re: Baby/toddler tub???
I have this one & I'm happy with it. The head can be raised for infant & when the baby is older they can sit up in it. My son is 13 months & still uses it.Saftey first Oh & it is nice & cushioned
I have no idea what they mean by 4 stages because I only know 2 positions - folded like a tub and open like a seat. I put one of those foam bath mats in it and it's great. I used it with both kids and now I still use it most of the time b/c it fits well when I bath them together, which is usually the case
Someone gave it to me and it's really nice. When I got it Tara was already too big to utilize the newborn side, where they lay on a slant. But it could definitely hold a baby till they are big. It's quite nice b/c you dont have to fill up your regular bathtub when they are sitting up in it. She looks like she really enjoys soaking in it too. But it is big, and doesnt fold
ETA: LOL I see they both got terrible reviews on BRU website, I didnt read why but I really dont have any complaints about either.

I used a plain old yellow plastice tub that my sister in law got me, with a little mesh thing that she got separately to put in side for the baby to lbe propped up on. It was so simple - no moving parts, nothing to be worried about. (I had registered for the 4 stage bath thing but we never used it and I returned it). At about 6 weeks (I know some will say I'm nuts) she went right in the big tub on a nice soft bath mat with about 3 inches of water, and LOVED it - she has been splashing around and laughing through her baths since!

We use an inflatable tub, called the Snug Tub Deluxe!
I've been using it with Andrew in our big tub since he was able to sit on his own. It's the prefect size and he loves it. When not in use, we can either deflate it (which we don't!!) or hang it on the wall of the tub (which we do!).

Re: Baby/toddler tub???
We used the same tub, (liz is right, could only figure out two 'stages' over here too.)
I liked it for before my son could sit on his own, but when I tried to use as a seat in my tub the suction cups would not stick because the botton of the bathtub is textured. And my bathtub is a whirlpool which is deep and was killer on my back to sit there the whole time. So I started using the kitchen sink and still do. Its so much easier. But my sink is big enough to accommodate my big boy I hope he can use the sink for many more months!
