1 Star The bathtub is different from the photography
I am ANGRY. The product that they sent is different from the photo. I feel swindled. With my first son I had an identical bathtub to the photo, and I liked much, for that reason, now I will have my second baby I wanted to buy another one, but they sent a different one to me and do not like, I want I my money of return…
1 Star HUGE disappointment, DON’T buy!!
“Real World” review here: I was so ridiculously disappointed with this baby bath that I have gone out of my way to write a review for the FIRST time.
We bought this mainly for the shower attachment because it seemed like SUCH a great idea! BUT, after opening the box, we found out what a cheap, worthless piece of crap this really is. Here’s why:
01. The hose/tube for the shower attachment is made out of a thin, shiny, sticky, vinyl that twists and crimps easily. In fact, right out of the box, it was already twisted and crimped and I tried to straighten it out (so water could get through), but I had no luck. It was like the tube had a memory of its own because every time I tried to straighten it out, it kept going back to it’s crimped/twisted shape.
02. The shower head has a button to turn on the battery operated pump, BUT it’s not an on/off button!! You have to continuously PUSH (with alot of pressure) the button on for the water to come out. If you subtly push less, the water will stop or just drizzle out. SO, you have to push HARD continuously and after about 15 seconds, the tip of your finger is aching. I am a guy and can take some pain, but this is just insane. Did they test this product themselves and think, “Yeah, we want it to be difficult to keep this thing on . . no pain no gain.”. ALSO, if you are so lucky to straighten out the tube, the water pressure is WEAK. I know there shouldn’t be alot of water coming out for a baby, but pouring water over our baby’s head took 1/10 the time it took to get the soap out with the shower attachment . . . go figure.
03. The pump takes 6 AA batteries which I guess isn’t so bad, but it seems a little over excessive. I have no clue how long they last since the first time we used the bath, was our last time. The pump is also LOUD which scared our little one.
04. The tub itself was OK because it had a pad glued to the bottom, but there were no “stops” built in to prevent our baby from throwing herself backwards in the tub. Other tubs have a raised area in between the legs to prevent this from happening.
Overall, this was a HUGE disappointment. The user experience is not only difficult, but abysmal. I am flabbergasted at how a product like this can actually make it to market. Summer should be ashamed of themselves.
2 Stars Did not live up to my expectations
I was really excited to get this tub because of the shower feature with it. I was really looking forward to also using it when she got big enough to sit in the bath tub. It was great until my baby was about 3 months old and the pump stopped working. I exchanged it for another and the pump in that one stopped working within a month. I gave up. Just get a regular bath tub and then get the Safety 1st Tubside Bath Seat. It is great.
3 Stars It’s OK
The one feature I really like about this tub is the sling. I like that I can use the sling by itself in the sink, or prop it in the infant tub. I also like the size of the tub - it’s very roomy, and I have big babies. The shower feature is worthless - it has never worked correctly.
The sling did wear out when my third baby was 2 months old, and I received a new tub as a gift. This shower doesn’t work, either, but I still love the sling, so am keeping it. If it hadn’t been a gift, though, I’d have decided that the sling didn’t make up for the other deficiencies, and I’d have purchased a different tub.
5 Stars Great Gift!
I bought this as a gift for one of my single Soldiers having her first baby. She loves it! The price is pretty good and the tub is comparable to the one she had on her BabiesRUs registry (just a lot cheaper). All in all it’s a good tub for the price.
