if only my baby liked baths by Shannon B Davis (Arlington, MA United States)  4 Stars
November 23, 2009
This product is handy because it makes it very easy to wash a newborn. The hammock places them in the water without submerging them. I really like the attachable toys - we use them to wash his hair, scooping up water and pouring it over. It keeps the bathwater contained, just in case there are any accidents, you won't have to wash the whole bathtub, just this product. The hammock is removable, and so can be washed as well. The hammock has a nice pillow on it where the baby can rest his head.
It's also a very cute product, and I don't mind having it in the bathroom. We keep ours in the tub in our guest bathroom, where no one else bathes.
That said, my child, now three months old, hates baths. He starts to scream like a tortured POW when we put him in this tub. I don't know why that is. We did notice that without the hammock stretched taut, but in the position they recommend for infants over 10 lbs, there is a bump. He sits with his legs around the bump - I wonder if it is putting pressure against his sensitive bits down there. I think he would enjoy it more if he could lie down instead, but the bump seems to prevent that. Other reviewers mention it and I see the problem now. I think I will give this 4 stars because if the bump had been designed to be removable or configurable, it would have solved this problem for me and other users.
I don't know if the bath-hating would be a problem with all bath centers. He isn't immensely thrilled with going into the big bath with mom, or into the shower with me. No matter what I do, my kid is hydrophobic. So I am not holding that agains the Fisher Price Bath Center. It looked like it would be a fun place to bathe to ME.

Great for newborns but as they outgrow the sling, not so great by S. Powell (TX)  2 Stars
October 20, 2009
This bathtub advertises that it can fit all stages- newborn, then 3-6 months, and finally babies that can sit on their own. It also comes with some bath toys and is attractive.
The sling, I found, to be very easy to wash my newborn in. Granted, like other reviewers, I noticed that it doesn't let baby be immersed much in the water but as a first time mom, I felt more comfortable this way because I was paranoid. The baby really liked the sling.
The problem is after the newborn stage. As baby gets older and weighs more, he presses down on the sling and there is a ridge that everyone on here talks about mid-way in the tub. While my baby never fussed about it, it would leave a red mark on his back. It says at 3 months that you can take the sling down and put baby sitting up against the head cushion in the shallower end of the tub. Then after that, when baby can sit unassisted, that you can put him in the deeper end. I find it to be very awkward as my baby keeps slipping down and it looks very uncomfortable. I think once my baby can sit unassisted that it may be easier, but for now, I might as well be using the sink. I still use this tub because it's what I have but I wouldn't buy it again if given the choice.

Good for newborn and toddler by Chanel J. Suarez (San Diego)  3 Stars
October 08, 2009
This bath was great when my son was a newborn with the hammock attachment so that he is mostly out of the water and a comfortable place to put his head. I usually put a warm washcloth over his belly and periodically poured warm water over it to keep him warm. Once my son got over the 10 pound mark I took down the other side of the hammock so his body was halfway immersed in the water. The 'bump stop' does as it should and he doesn't slide into the water but it leaves a deep red mark because of his weight. I am sure once he is able to sit up this bathtub will be great but it's very upsetting to see the mark on his back and I know it has got to be uncomfortable because of how much he squirms.

Best without sling for slightly older baby by Jared M. Collier 3 Stars
October 04, 2009
My baby liked this alot at first but, as others noted, he quickly was too big for this product. We ended up removing the sling very early and just using the tub. It worked great for when he could sit with just a little assistance. As he got bigger he sat in the deeper end just fine, but we soon just started bathing him in the tub by the time he was 7 months because the tub is easy to squirm out of for very mobile kids!

Very awkward tub by Lisa  1 Stars
October 01, 2009
When using a sling, your baby is out of the water. It's good before the navel hills, but the baby stays cold. Without a sling, the tub is very shallow and the baby can't be in the water because of the ridge. The water also splashes outside since it's so narrow. I prefer to use sink instead. It doesn't have any weird ridges in the middle.
