PRI Ducky Bath and Toy Bag (White bath with yellow cushion)

 (4 customer reviews)

Our bathtub is an older model and too narrow for the well reviewed PRIMO pearl tub, so I was really excited to see this product available as a smaller option. It's a great first tub for our newborn and works well -- she loves bathtime and I think this tub has a lot to do with it. The incline is helpful for her to sit upright (even though she can't do so herself). I never bothered with the duck toy bag/cushion as I figured it would take forever to dry, and our girl is too little for toys still. But it's a nice-to-have, I guess. What's best about this tub: lightweight, fits our bath, is molded with "hooks" so it can dry on the shower bar into the tub, and not take up floor or tub-floor space, and it has a drain in the bottom so we can empty the tub without having to tilt it over. There are two wells at the foot of the tub (for shampoo or soap bottles as a caddy?) which I use for clean water for rinsing at the end of the bath. Totally recommend this for little babies.

Overall, this was a good bathtub for us and served its purpose until our daughter was a little over 7 months old and outgrew it. HOWEVER ... I want to warn everyone interested in this tub that the ducky begins to take on that "wet-sponge" smell very quickly in spite of regular machine washings and hanging it to dry immediately after bathing (at least ours did). The tub without the ducky is pretty slippery, so I would recommend buying a non-slip mat to put in the tub instead of the ducky. You can always use the non-slip mat again when your baby transitions to the big tub.

I love this tub. WE had a hard time bathing baby when she was a new born. She could not be submerged in a tub since her umbilical cord was still attached. She HATED being sponge bathed. She would scream during the whole bath every time. When we finally got this tub, she just loved bath time. We put a little water in there, and made sure it didn't reach the cord. She loved being in there.

On the down side I wish it was a bit deeper, and that the leg section wasn't so raised. Once baby was big enough to sit up, that's all she wanted to do, and bath time was not excluded. She wanted to sit up in the little tub, and I just felt she could just come right out on her own, so we had to move on to the big tub. She is still quite wobbly, so we had to get a tub seat for that. But I just wish that the tub would grow with baby a little, so we could use it a bit longer. Anyhow, we enjoyed it while it lasted, and we still use the duck in the big bathroom to hold her toys. It works great!
