Safety 1st Convertible Complete Care Bath Tub —
When I first got this tub I was excited because it seemed like it had plenty of stages. A sponge for the newborn and a sling then a tub then a seat. The sponge is too flimsy to be of much use. If you want to use a sponge, get the Leacho Safer Bather. It's soft, keeps the baby warm and is substantial. Then there is the infant sling. The sling is awful because the baby will just slide right down it, or roll off. The tub itself is slippery. What I have found that I like is when the baby is old enough to sit up, flip the sling upside down and use it as a seat in the tub itself. The baby can't slip anywhere and can even lean back on it. Our daughter loves it. We still use it and she's 10mos old. Like a previous poster, I keep it in our regular tub. I like that it's smaller and she has fun in it. I haven't used the seat yet and frankly won't. I haven't had any trouble with leaking. It's an inexpensive tub and for the money, it's not bad.
