My 9 month old girl loves this tub, since it is bigger than her previous one. It is big enough for her to very comfortably sit in with water upto her shoulders, although I would not recommend to have that much water for safety reasons.She loves playing with a toy in the tub. However, the tub is extremely slippery, which nearly drowned my baby girl twice.It scared her first time, but now she learned how to balance herself without drowning herself. Parents who buy this product should be very careful when bathing a baby in it. If a parent does not keep an eye on the baby in the tub for more than 2 seconds, literally, the baby will be under the water, struggling to survive.Another downside is that there are two quater-size holes on the bottom of the tub, which make nearly impossible to drain water, since the holes are not exactly on the bottom, but on the side of the bottom layer of the tub. I drilled a hole on the bottom to drain water from it. Otherwise, water stays inbetween the outer and inner layers of the tub. Mold might grow inside the tub between the inner and outer plastic cover of the tub.It would have been an excellent product, if the tub was not so slippery for babies and also without the holes.I would not recommend it to my friends, although it is a very cute tub.

bought this for my moms house who only has a shower but no tub. Daughter fit in there just fine but I did buy a mat to fit on the inside after reading reviews and she never slipped. Just be careful if the child is able to get up and stand. I always made my daughter stay seated. Its a good size tub. She hasn’t taken a bath in the tub for a while but when she was about 2 yrs she still fit in there. We got it when she was about 1 and it was great option if you have no tub.

I wasn’t real sure when I saw this tub online, but boy am I glad I bought it. This is the greatest thing next to a real bathtub. We’ve been using this for several months and our little grandson loves it. I feel like it’s big enough but not too big. It is very sturdy, easy to clean and I feel like our little guy is safe in it.

I really wanted to like this bath tub. We got it out the first time, filled it up and within 10 minutes all the water was covering the counter. The plug does not stay plugged in (keeps popping up)! I returned this tub and got a replacement of the same one thinking it would be better. But, it did the same exact thing! What a waste of money. I really liked the look of this tub and the fact that it reclined. I think I will try the tub one more time and try to assist the plug by putting a wash cloth over it and see if it holds that way.Other posters mention the legs aren’t good at locking so they were concerned about safety. We do not have this problem. The legs locked very well. We only used it twice, but I don’t really plan on folding it up after each use so I’m not sure if the wear and tear of constantly folding it up causes it to become less sturdy. Also, some posters mention their baby slides around in the tub. We bought one of those baby sponges since our son is a newborn (2.5 weeks old) and he seems to do fine.

I bought this because I have an 8 month old and a lot of planned travel coming up and this seemed like the perfect alternative to baths in hotel sinks. It is so nice we are using it as our regular home tub as well!To cover a few quick negatives posted by others:Yes, it has a plastic smell like any baby pool on the market would (the bottom is the same type of vinyl plastic). Open it and sit it out for a couple hours and it is gone…no biggie.Yes, you have to inflate the bottom. It took me 30 seconds…again, no biggie.As far as supposed flimsiness goes, bear in mind it is a TRAVEL tub by design so it is made to fold which means it cannot be constructed of permanently set parts or very heavy plastic, that would defeat it’s entire purpose. I think some people’s expectations were unrealistic because I do not find it flimsy. Is it as hard and heavy as my child’s normal baby tub? No. Is it supposed to be? No.Now, I would not recommend this as a newborn tub unless you were to use a mesh baby sling in it. But for any baby that can sit well it is wonderful. My daughter is so much happier in it than she was her reclined infant tub and it is much safer than a bath ring.All in all I love it and wish I had owned one for my son when he was younger.

My baby and I just LOVE IT!!!! It is so easy to bath her now and SO MUCH FUN! I started bathing her everyday in this bathtub and it is just awesome. She plays with her toys and has tons of fun. The side where her head rests is lifted so she can safely lay down and relax. After her bath, I just empty the tub and hang it in a knob in our bathroom until the next day. I really recommend it, it is super practical.(Please never leave your baby unattended)

We have purchased 3 inflatable snug-tubs from Kelgar. The infant size tub was fine, and still works okay after 2 years. However, the slightly larger toddler size tub has a slow leak. The first one we bought had a very slow leak; after 9 months it turned into a fast leak, so we bought another one, thinking we wouldn’t be unlucky enough to get another defective one twice in a row.Wrong!!The second one arrived with a slow leak in the same place as the previous toddler size snug-tub. At first it was so slow, it just meant we’d have to reinflate it once in a while; then you have to reinflate it more and more often until finally it won’t last through one bathing without going limp. After the second flop, I decided to just send the leaky tub back to Kel-Gar and ask for a free replacement. They never responded to my friendly letter. When I finally called (took me a while to get around to it; I kept thinking that surely a replacement would be arriving any week now!), they were totally unhelpful.The woman who answered at “Customer Service” kept interrupting me to tell me that they do not accept returns, and any problems have to be taken up with the retailer. Way to stand behind your products, dudes!Then when I called the retalier (Right Start) just now, they said that it’s not their responsibility to handle a replacement, it’s the manufacturer’s– BUT at least this customer service person was polite and said she’s ask her boss and look into it more, just to see if there is anything they can do.I’m really surprised that Kel-Gar cares so little about their image with the public and about providing pleasant and helpful service to their customers, especially repeat customers such as myself. I mean, come on, how hard is it to throw a piece of plastic that weights about 8 ounces in the mail to keep a customer happy??However, since that is their attitude, you’re better off buying an inflatable tub from a real-life (non-virtual) retailer with a decent 90-day return policy, such as Babies-R-Us or Target, so that if a leak develops you can physically take it back and get a replacement. That’s what we’ll be doing from here on out.So long, Kel-Gar. The tub was “just ducky” but your service was DOA!Update: No go on the replacment. Big surprise.Although not quite as cushy as this tub, I would highly recommend getting your baby or toddler the PRIMO EuroBath instead. We got it after having to give up on inflatables, and it is roomy, comfortable, and DURABLE, unlike Kel-Gar’s products. 4.5 stars with 750 reviews on Amazon- you can’t beat that!PRIMO EuroBath Pearl White

I was hoping this would be a good transition tub for my 6 month old who is growing out of the tub that fits in the sink.If you are in the same situation, I caution you with this purchase -1) It reeks like plastic and has for weeks.2) it is dangerously slippery. My son can sit up very securely, however he immediately slid. I even bought a tub mat insert to try, and he still slipped.3) It barely fits into our tub.

Pre-cursory note: we are fortunate to have a very happy baby and I mean happy- always smiling, giggling – ust happy! She rarely gets upset at anything let alone cries -but I have to say, I blew up this tub and our daughter FREAKED OUT – she would clinch onto me super scared of it, turn her head and cry out at the sight of it. We tried letting her play with it in her room but she wasn’t having it. No way, Jose on this one! So we deflated it and don’t use it. She is in the regular “big girl” tub now and is perfectly happy. She was sliding around (and I could see an accident waiting to happen) so I bought these cute little “mini” whale suction cup/ non slip mats on Amazon and they work extremely well. Crisis averted, everyone is happy. Don’t know what it is about this tub, but wasn’t for my daughter.3 stars because the product itself was okay- just not sure what “spooked” her about it! And worth noting, it did have a strong odor when I blew it up – but that was a bad taste in my mouth- not an external odor.

Love this option to bathe baby. I always found the water-holding bathers awkward and heavy.What I love about this one:very stable on the counter (for ages 0-3 months)water flows into the sink out the edgenice slope for babyHandsome appearanceEasy-to-cleanSoft material for babyReally perfect for sponge-bathing before umbilical cord heals/falls offWhat I don’t love: (THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT)That baby can become chilled by not being submerged in the waterRecommend:Ensure the room is nice and toastykeep a refreshed warmed/wet washcloth on baby’s core to help keep baby warmed**If your kitchen sink is larger than 28"x16", you could also set this in the sink.

Haven’t got to use it yet but it seems much more comfortable and user friendly than the foam sink insert thing we were using which didn’t fit in any of our sinks and didn’t offer enough support. This looks like it will be very supportive and easy to use. I can’t wait!

As people have mentioned before, this doesn’t really keep baby that warm if you use it beside the sink. The reservoir is a neat idea that doesn’t really pan out in real life. The bather is too big to fit into the sink so the only other alternative is to put it in the tub, which is actually how I originally intended to use it anyway.I have a five year old and this makes it so I can bathe both children together. The non-slip silicone surface holds baby securely so I don’t worry about her slipping below the surface, and the non-slip feet holds the entire tub in place despite my five year old’s bath antics. The tub is also easy to drain and clean afterward.Overall I’ve been quite pleased with it for use in the bath tub.
