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!!!
