When the sling is removed, is that light colored section shown in the picture padding on the tub? I am looking for a tub that won't be so hard/uncomfy

It's got between 1/8" & 1/4" foam on it, not super padded, but slip resistant.

I used the tub only without accessories. I was looking for a large tub for then my 3 months old son. I returned it bc it was not large enough. When filled with water, the plastic of the tub is slippery, but it is always like that with most tubs. When I bathe my son I always support him by holding him and most of the time I have help.

It's not super padded on the head but most of the bassinets I looked at weren't either.I used a yellow foam bath pad on the head area to add softness--the type you use to keep babies from slipping in the bath but I also didn't use this rocker until he was a couple of months old and had head control to move. If you're looking for something for a newborn, I'd recommend the FP Rock n' Play Snugglebunny. It's ideal for newborns and very soft. We used this Portable Rocker after he outgrew the snugglebunny since it's larger with a higher weight limit.

No, I do not remove it between baths. I removed it completely because it hurt my feet. I've intended to return it to amazon.

The spa cover rolls all the way off the spa. You open the cover by folding it in half, then you roll the cover off onto the "shelf". The shelf has rollers in it. It's easy and quick. TheCover does not sit high up in the air, but lays flat on the shelf so you are able to see all around your tub when in use. Arms fold down for winter storage. I personally love mine, better then the lift type I had before.

The bottom has a little bit of padding but doesn't fully inflate. Actually makes it easier to fit into your tub & to hang on the wall when not in use.

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

There is a slight curve to the seat I have lost my left leg during the Nam conflict and I have found this seat to be just right for me in the shower, it is sturdy and does not slip on the tub floor. Just a note for you to also consider, It Has Quite a Number of Height Adjustments to it, I really like it. I hope this helps answer your question.

This lift is used along with a sling, which is listed as "Full Body Patient Lift Sling With Commode Cutout Option No/Large" offered by What A Deals. (There is no commode cutout). The patient doesn't have to participate or hang on to it. The sling has loops which are placed onto the lift. If the patient has fallen, he is turned on his side and rolled onto the sling and then lifted.

I was wondering did you get an answer to your post. I got the 4lb tub as well and now I am scared to use it.

Maybe you've already answered this for yourself, by now, but if not, here goes. There is a "tacky", non-slip surface on the side of the wide part of the sling that rides against your clothing. It basically "grips" by friction. Hope that helps.

I did not have that problem but I also have a no skid mat on the tub floor for added safety and maybe that is why! also the cups on the bottom of my stool are white and that may also make a difference! Hope something here helps you.

It keeps the baby up off the bottom. The baby should just be partially immersed in the water when using the sling.

we didn't modify the tub floor, however the legs don't sit exactly flat in our tub due to the curvature or our tub. It's not a concern that we have however. The entire seat is very sturdy and we are very happy with the entire chair.

I think the cotton canvas would be better?! But it is really about preference. I prefer the cotton canvas because the sling stays beneath me at night and the cotton canvas doesn't make me sweat.

Yes, it is a 'drop in' tub. There are no finished sides. Maybe you can order it with a finished side??

Hi Carol. I purchased this bath chair for my elderly mother, who cannot stand for long periods of time. I am very pleased with the purchase. The chair is completely padded, including the bars that sit on the edges of the tub, so it does not slip at all and is comfortable and easy to clean. It just rests on the long edges of the tub, and does not fasten permanently to the tub. But I view that as an advantage. For example, my sister and her husband are visiting me now and share that guest bathroom with our mom. So it is easy to just lift the chair off the tub when they want to shower. Finally, I like that the chair has arms and locks in position every 90 degrees because that makes my mom feel more secure. She is 90 years old and frail, so we now both feel safer when I have to bathe her. I would highly recommend this purchase, despite the price. I saw other across the tub bath chairs online that were not padded and did not seem as secure for about the same price, so I think this chair is worth it. Hope this review helps-Good Luck! Noreen
