Mommy's Helper | Inflatable Under The Sea Baby Bathtub, Collapsible Safe Baby Bath Tub with Anti-Sliding Saddle Horn Seat, Must Have Travel Toddler Bath, Portable Bathtub Recommended Months 6 to 24

Love this little bathtub for my baby!! I was looking for something that wasn’t too expensive that was in between the laying down infant bathers and switching straight to the big main bathtub and i settled on this product. It is the perfect size and i really like the piece in the middle that prevents baby from sliding down inside the tub. I have had this for a few months and i haven’t had to blow it back up since i got it. We keep it in the baby’s bathroom and turn it upside down to dry out between each use so no water sticks on the bottom and makes it yucky. I haven’t used it for travel but i imagine it would be very convenient and easy to use for traveling as well!

We live in a small apartment with our son and have no room for an infant tub. We bathed him in the bathroom sink until he was about 3 months old and then planned to transition him to the big bathtub using a Leachco Safer Bather Infant Bath Pad, Blue Fish. That was a huge failure. We bought this tub when he was about 4 months old and have been using it daily for about a year now. It is great. The other reviews here capture most of the main points, so building on those:- I have a boy who is typically in the 90th percentile for height and weight. That said, we've had no problem with the horn being too tight at the crotch as another reviewer mentioned. It definitely touches him, but it's no more pressure/pushing than a wet diaper would.- This is not something you want to blow up/deflate on a daily basis. It collapses easily for trips and is great for travel. But when you are at home, you won't want to go through the time it takes to blow up/deflate on a daily basis. If that's your goal, I do not recommend this tub.- We have a very tiny bathroom (no more than 50 sq feet) and can fit this in the small space between the tub and sink. This thing is great for city parents living in small spaces.- After about 4 or 5 months of use, it developed a slow leak. At first, it only needed to be topped off about once a week. Now, at the one year mark, it needs a quick puff of air almost every night. This would be annoying to me if it came out of the box that way, but since this thing cost me less than $15 and I've had it for a year, I think it's to be expected. Topping it off only takes a minute.- Another reviewer complained that the valves won't stay closed - I've only had this problem when the valves are wet. If you take a minute to dry it with a towel and dry your lips before you put the last puff in, they will stay shut.- It requires very little maintenance. I wipe it out with either baby wipes or clorox wipes every 4-6 weeks. I found that a tiny bit of mildew will grow in the seams at the bottom of the tub otherwise.This tub may not be for everyone, but was great for us. It is relatively compact and because it is not hard plastic, we've been able to shove it into a corner of our small bathroom. It has saved me from having to scrub out a strange tub when we travel. Finally, my son loves it and we have so many adorable pictures of him playing in the bath. In fact, sometimes during playtime he wanders into the bathroom and pulls it out and plays with it - making a game of getting in and out of it. So this has worked for us from the sitting assisted stage all the way to walking. You can't go wrong for the price.

Great price, great quality. Would recommend for the stage where your child can sit up mostly unsupported, but is still too little to be placed directly in the adult tub. We use this nightly for our toddler’s baths and he loves it. It’s durable and we haven’t had any issues with air leaking out of it (unless you accidentally knock one of the plugs open- which we’ve done once or twice). The center support is super handy for keeping baby from slipping down too far into the water, and it’s extra nice that it inflates separately so that you can choose whether or not you want to use it/how blown up it needs to be. I also like that there are inflated channels in the bottom to provide a little comfy padding between baby’s bum and the adult tub. The biggest selling point for this in my mind is that unlike the numerous other baby things you’ll use for a brief period and then have to find space to store, it DEFLATES! So easy to store and even travel with. I bought an extra to leave at grandma’s, and she can deflate it and get it out of the way between visits.Tip for inflating: If you have zero lung capacity like me, I found that the air pump that came with my yoga/exercise ball was just the right size to pump this up with (if you happen to have something similar lying around!)

A few things to say about this:First, I have had this bathtub since my son was around 5/6 months old and he is now 16 months old and we just now stopped using it simply because he wants to have more space to play. He still fits in the inflatable tub at 16 months and it has held up perfectly! He just prefers the actual tub now.Secondly, I had decided to go with this inflatable tub after trying 4 other regular/ plastic baby tubs. Bath time was a nightmare and my son hated it simply because of his tub. The tubs would either hurt his anatomy, make him lay too far back, or just be uncomfortable/ awkward. I was at my wits end and stumbled across this inflatable tub one day while browsing Amazon.Pros:• The wedge is perfect for babies who can’t quite sit up but hate to lay down in the bath.• Has held up very well over the year we have had it• “Grows” with baby, meaning, my son could fit comfortably in it at 5/6 months old and still fits in it at 16 months with more room to grow.• Super easy to clean• Can easily be deflated and stored awayCons:• The only possible con I can think of is the plug to let the water out can be difficult to unplug at times. Sometimes I’m scared I’m going to tear the liner by pulling so hard. However, that’s not really a con as it ensures no leakage.All in all, this is a wonderful product and now that my son prefers the actual tub I plan to use this one with my daughter when she is old enough. I would definitely recommend this product to other moms, and you can’t beat the price point.
