Fisher-Price Bath Center
Review
Rub-a-dub-dub! From earliest infancy to toddler-hood, the Aquarium Bath Center from Fisher-Price provides three stages that grow with baby. The versatile sling feature means baby can get squeaky clean in comfort while mom and dad are assured by its safety. The sling attached as a hammock provides comfort for infants. For newborns, the sling is attached to both ends of the tub like a hammock. This creates a platform that comfortably cradles baby?s entire body and keeps them above the tub?s water level. For infants, the sling attaches to only the narrow end of the tub, providing trunk and neck support for those who can?t sit up by themselves yet. There is an included headrest for both the newborn and infant stages that provides additional support and comfort to baby. Toddlers can be bathed in the large end once sitting up on their own. Finally, in the toddler position, the sling can be moved to the wide end of the tub or removed altogether, giving baby…

I just got this tub and our 2 month old loves it! Whenever he’s crabby at night I just fill this up and he stops crying as soon as he lays in it. He looks so comfy and he could just fall asleep in it. He doesn’t slip around either so I don’t have to worry so much. The only problem I have is that when it drains the soap builds up on the sling part, but I just spray it off with the faucet sprayer and wash it after every few baths.
After trying 2 other tubs that were HORRIBLE, we tried this one. Our daughter is 5 1/2 months old, and can sit up fairly well. She’s about 18 pounds and very long, so having enough space for her legs was an issue. We found that the other tubs we tried weren’t long enough, nor were they very comfortable. She ended up with red marks all over her legs and back from other tubs, but this one was wonderful! There’s enough room for her to sit up and splash and play, and there’s still room to grow. And it does NOT leak like the Safety 1st 4-in-1 bath station, which we also have. I cannot rate the newborn/infant side of the tub, since she’s already outgrown that stage, but the older baby side is definitely the best I’ve seen so far.
I liked the tub at first, it’s good for newborns. However, as she got older and weighed more, she started crying a lot in the bath. I took her out and noticed she had a big red mark on her back where the bump hit her. I tightened the straps as tight as possible, but it just stretches out again. I found that I had to put a towel there or hold her back so that it wouldn’t be so uncomfortable. I probably wouldn’t purchase this again.
