Summer Infant Deluxe Baby Bather Blue

Typical of all products designed for newborns, I found this to have a very short window of use. I bought it for my 2nd child thinking it would be easier to bathe her (only had a tub for the 1st child). However, even in the reclining position, my newborn daughter tended to squirm and slide. So on top of all the effort of handling a wet, soapy baby, I was rushing & afraid she would tip herself off the thing! So, I waited until she had more head support and then was able to use it off & on for about 2 months before she started sitting up. Once she was able to sit up, I couldn't keep her in seat because her legs were too strong (lots of kicking and squirming again...but with purposeful effort!).

If (goodness) I have another baby, I'll just use a baby tub lined with a towel for support. Then as she grows older, I can at least use the tub for splash & play.

Pros: Folds for easy storage; dries quickly
Cons: Not recommended for squirmers & nervous Moms

I bought this bather because I didn't want one of those giant plastic things that take up SO much space.
This bather is small, portable, and super easy to use. After bathing, you can just pop the fabric off and throw it all in the washing machine. Fold up the frame and stick it in the closet. It's so tiny when folded, it's about a 12" x 12" squre. You can fit it anywhere.

I received this tub as a shower gift and thought it would be wonderful but was very disappointed. I cannot put my newborn daughter in this because she will squirm and wiggle right out of it. Bathtime was not enjoyable for either of us because there isn't any real support there for her and even in the reclining position she can wiggle right out. I am now ordering a tub with the little curves and some better sides so that she is more secure. This was a nightmare the first time I gave her a bath and I should have definetely had a different tub on my registry. I am ordering the other one today with one day shipping so that I don't have to use this again. Complete waste of money and just makes both a nervous wreck.
