Is the sling supposed to be able to support the baby so s/he is not touching the bottom? Or is the baby supposed to sink to the bottom of the tub?

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

The sling is to support the baby and embrace, because of how fragile they are as new borns, it gives a firm grip. The baby isn't supposed to touch the bottom, but just sink enough so s/he can get a little soak. I hope this helps.

It depends on your baby's weight. As they gain weight, they will lie lower in the sling. My daughter is 12 pounds; she barely touches the bottom of the tub. The sling allows the baby to be in the water, but not completely covered. Their feet, lower legs, head and upper chest are not covered, but most everything else is immersed.

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.

If you have a smooth surface you can move it but the wheels are small so they can't go over too much of a bump. It would work to put a person in the car if the car isn't too low. You just unhook the sling with the person sitting on it, then just hook it back up when you are ready to take them back into the house.

If you anchor it to your bed, the side next to the bed should be rolled down permanently. So, when you're in bed, you just reach over and pick up your baby. You shouldn't be rolling up and down the side each time.

The new born may be too tiny for this. Second thing, some times babies will startle when you spray water on them, so the chances of slipping are a lot which is dangerous ( solution: Use a towel on top of this as it increase friction and reduces slippage)The mesh is soft enough for the new born's skin.We ended up returning ours, but got it as a gift from a friend, so ended up using it!. Folds terrible, but other wise works fine.

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.

I have not had to transition yet, but my 3 month old is starting to wiggle himself almost out! Since he cannot support his head yet, I will probably buy another baby tub that has a removable mesh lining. I have really liked this tub though!!!

Mine doesn't either, but it doesn't seem to be a problem when the weight of the baby is in there. Mine is 22 pounds and she isn't going anywhere when she's in it, even though it does wiggle a little bit without her.

Yes it is. Actually my son prefers the angle to be closer to the front of the tub while my daughter and I prefer it to be more towards the rear of the tub. So we just adjust it (by bending with adjustable/flexable hose) to where we want it. And the great part is it doesn't slip! It actually stays put! Hope this is helpful. :)

Hi Jasmin, I have this bathtub but I dont use the sling I replaced it for a foamy pad, the sling never get dried, it can spend hours and days and doesnt dry. if you will use it to sit the baby, then you will need to use the dryer machine. rgds Hola Jasmin, tengo esta baera pero nunca uso el colgante, en lugar de este lo reemplace por una goma espuma ya que el colgante nunca se seca, pueden pasar horas y hasta dias y no se seca. si la usas para sentar al bebe despues necesitaras usar la secadora. slds

i dont know how heavy your five month old is but the water just might lift her and the seat up if she doesnt weigh it down given that there are no suction cups under the seat. also given that it doesnt have straps you might be playing with fire. i would say look for seats that are like ring and snap in on the side for your situation. look at the dreambaby ring seats

I bought this for my grandson, and we all agree it is one of our best baby purchases. The bottom of the tub is a little like an air mattress that you use in a swimming pool. There is a little inflatable piece intended to be a small wedge to keep the baby from sliding while sitting,but you don't have to inflate. We never do, so it just lays flat. I don't see any reason you could not lay your baby flat. We absolutely love this tub. It is protective, comfortable, and we have used it since my grandson was 7 mos. old (he is 11 mos now).

I thought there was but no because the weight of the baby will cause the tub to fully expand

Yes, this tub is suitable from infant to early toddler years. There are two positions that can be used, depending on whether your baby can sit on their own or not. My baby is 8 weeks old and I use the reclining position. I place a small towel on the reclining area to cushion it and to keep her from sliding around. The raised area in the middle ensures the baby is secure. I love the design and feel it is very safe.

I have bathed my 3.7 yr old in the tub with his now 3 month old brother. They were both a little younger at the time. Big brother knows the water has to be lower while his brother is bathing and we just fill the tub up more after the baby is done and out. I just drain the pad and hang it on the shower head to finish drying before filling. His big brother loves to help washing his brother with me so it works out well.

No. I think that they imagine that your baby could fall. I was a bit disappointed too but it all worked out. It is a great product!

It doesn't sit up that high. I put a snuzzler inside and it kept by son a little more elevated. Which helped with as acid reflux, bit I always hold him for at least 10 minutes before putting him in the rocker. He has really bad reflux though. He takes medication. He was born at 26 weeks. So your baby might be okay in it. But I recommend putting a snuzzler or some kind of body support
