The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn to Toddler Tub with Sling Reviews

After using the Summer Infant Baby Bather for we had to move up in size when our baby got to six months and was too big for the first one.  We were gifted one of these Sure Comfort Deluxe tubs, which can be used for both newborns and toddlers.  Our daughter took to the new tub right away, and with the added freedom and space of this new tub also came the fun she now has with bath time.  It isn't so much a chore anymore as a time to bond between us and the baby, and this is a great tool to have on hand during that process.

This is another very affordable bathtub to have around the house,...

The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn to Toddler Tub with Sling is a great baby tub. It's durable and inexpensive. The side that has an "incline" is perfect for babies who cannot sit up on their own, though they can slip to their side as it does not curve at all.

I got this tub as a gift and was very grateful for it. When I looked for a cheap replacement to use at grandma's, I noticed others had a little bump were baby's crotch would sit- I'm assuming to help keep them in place, but it looked uncomfortable to me and I was glad to realize my tub did not have that!

The sling is another story....

I had bought a First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn to Toddler Tub with Sling for my son when he was an infant, used it until he grew out of it, passed it to a friend, and three years later bought one for my daughter. As a "first bath" tub, it works great in the sink, and the sling dips just enough with the baby in it to get them gently wet. Both of my kids, though, seemed to like it the best when using the incline side. The small bump at the butt helps keep them from sliding, as does the foam bottom.

The only problem I have had with both kids is that they got too long for the tub before...

I really did enjoy this tub, the sling was a life saver for bathing a newborn.  My only complaint is that for the reclinging side of the tub, they did not put a not skid pad on the bottom where babys bottom is to go, so I often found that baby slid down and over the hump of the tub which was annoying.  So again I was doing one handed bathing because I had to make sure that baby didn't slide down. Finally I just had my husband stick one of those not skid bathtub stickers on the bottom and it worked great.

I also didn't like that there were certian spots that were impossible to clean like down in...

The mildew-resistant pads result in a cleaner, more hygienic bathtub, and a special drain plug changes color to alert parents when the water is too hot for baby's tender...

I wish my son would like this tub as much as I did when I got it. He is a big baby, and he doesn't really like the sling. I researched several different tubs and decided on this one because it was at a good price and can be used as an infant tub and a toddler tub, but so far the sling isn't winning him over. I don't think he likes "dangling" above the tub, and the little sling gets cold. That being said, this could just be our little guy not liking bath time (although now we just hold him, and he seems to enjoy this). The good things about the tub is that it fits easily into the (real) tub, and...

Everyone said that a baby bath tub wasn't necessary but I am glad that I received this as a shower gift. I used it when my baby was small in the sling. He was comfortable and I didn't have to worry about him sliding anywhere. Fits great on a double sink so you don't kill your back while bathing them. Now that he is older and splashes more I just sit it in the tub and he has a blast. He can sit up and have a great time and I know he is a little safer right now in the smaller tub and I don't have the extra clean up of using the big tub. A great tub for the money...Great for us!!!
