Can this tub be used for a newborn?

I've used this tub since my son was 10 days old. I do put a towel down first. He LOVES it!

You can definitely use this for a newborn and I have, for both of my children. I do put a towel down first, for more cushion and "hold". But unless the baby is tiny, the way this tub is constructed actually allows the baby to safely lay down, in the water, while you can use both hands to wash him or her.

I would not use this tub for a newborn. It is slippery and bath seats or bath slings for newborns are so much safer that they would be a better option.

It states that it can be used for a newborn...but i would be hesitant. The tub is slippery and newborns are so wiggly it just seems a bad combination. I used it around 4-6 months. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend using the bath tub on its own with a newborn, however when my son was born I used this bathtub with Summer Infant Bath Sponge inserted. It held him securely and i was able to bath him without worrying that he would slip. My son also loved it as i think the sponge kept his back warm while i wiped him down.

No, I would not use this for a newborn. A baby should be able to sit up on their own before you use this product for sure. We didn't start using it until our baby was about 5.5 months old.

No that's not possible and they (twins) are now 8 months old and we no longer are using the tub. But we loved it while they were smaller, it's much better than the tubs with the mesh over the top to hold them because they would scream the entire bath because they were cold. Once we got this tub they loved their bath time....was worth every penny.

No, I would not use that for a newborn. There are frames that fit the car carriers. Far more suitable for a newborn.

No. Latch it in and you are done. Unless I totally missed something. It is at the perfect angle if you ask me. I don't think I would be comfortable with a newborn in it. I started using ours at 7 months....

Although you could buy an infant insert, I wouldn't recommend this for a newborn. It just doesn't recline enough for a newborn to be in a good position that supports their neck. I switched to this seat when my son was 7 months old and had good head control

Depending on how small the newborn is it could. Probably not too ideal for a newborn under 8 pounds plus the padding that comes with it is a little rough too so I could rub wrong on a little one.

You can use it to bath a newborn as long as you put them on the sling part of it.

I wouldn't recommend this for a sink. The bather soaks up water. The head end is fluffier than the seat end. The seat fills with water. Most of the baby's torso is out of the water. I keep a cup and wash cloth in the bath to keep baby warm. Also don't get their hair or head wet till the very end. Also have a baby bath thermometer. You would be surprised at how warm the normal temp. Should be.

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

I don't think it would. It is about the same size as our old infant tub. I just use it in the regular bath tub. Honestly, if you will be bathing multiple children, the angelcare support is awesome. I use it to bathe my toddler and infant in the same tub at the same time.

Yes. The sling works well for newborns. I have a 3 month old who can't sit up just yet. She is too big for the sling but slips on the hard foam surface so I've been putting a bath foam behind her on this tub

Recommendation is 12-24 months. I agree and would not use this tub for a 2 month old infant.

I think this tub would work best for a child that can sit up and catch themselves since it is pretty slippery. I would get an infant tub instead. They have some that have the slings for when they're really little and then you can take it out to use when they're a little bigger so it lasts longer.

No. So it's really only good for newborns. Once the baby starts moving around, there won't be alot of room.

Two of these would not fit in a standard size tub. Each takes up about 2/3-3/4 of the tub. You could *maybe* fit two infants in one of these, but only up to about 6-9 months before they would start really getting in the way of each other.

This is a great tub for a highly active baby. I got it when my daughter was 3 months old, and she too loves to splash around a lot. My daughter is not 9 months old and has transitioned to the other side that allows her to sit up, and I think she loves the tub even more now!!
