I was just about to buy this for a friend when I found it new on the Walmart website for $32. I'd much rather buy it 100% new for that amount of money than used for more than that. Ridiculous.
This tub is good for newborns but once my daughter got to be 3-4 months old she started to hate bath time and we realized it was because of the hard bump of plastic in the middle of the tub. Also, I couldn't get this to fit in my sink so we had to stick a phone book under one end of it to keep it level. I'll probably look for a different bath tub if I have another child in the future.
First thing I noticed was that head support can be better. That would be more comfortable for baby. I bought this product for my new born baby. They have curved it so it will not damage spine. So why take a risk. I was surprised, when I put my hand below mesh, to feel some hard plastic supporting mesh to prevent it from touching bottom. I would rather buy something where mesh is not supported by anything.
They say you should read instruction so you will understand why there is a bump and why it should be there and its not a problem. On day 4 we used it for first time. I read some other 5 star reviews(probably form company sales department employees or their spouse) where they try to undermine fact that bump digs in to your babies spine. I tried to adjust the straps but that didn't work. I still don't like to think that babies back is supported by some curved plastic. One review even says that concern with bump is laughable if you read instruction.Fact is if your baby is above 9 lb, you might hurt your baby with this product unless you are very careful. Stay away from this product.
I loved the idea and bought it without looking at reviews. My baby was born 6 pounds and this bath was great. BUT as soon as she reached 9 pounds I realized there is a "bump" in the middle of the bath that cuts into her back as I wash her.So this product is good for babies of less than 9 pounds.Bottom line, don't bother with this product.
We took the net off, but then my arm hit the bump trying to keep my baby off it of. My son was only able to use this tub for his first three months (and he was a premie - born at just over 5 pounds). After the first few months he became too heavy and his back rubbed on the bump. It was just really uncomfortable and awkward. I would not recommend anyone use this tub.there must be a better one out there.
