Great Concept, Decent Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My youngest turned 6 months the day before we received the 4-in-1 Sling 'n Seat Tub. He was at the perfect age, weight, and development to try Stages 2 and 3.
The "baby stopper" insert is such a simple idea and it works wonders! My son was not at the point where I was comfortable allowing him to sit in the tub, but he was so big that he would slide right out of other bath slings and seats.
The Sit-Me-Up Support mirrors other similar seats made for outside the tub. It is convenient to have it snap into the tub itself. My son loves sitting up and being able to see out of the tub and all around him.
I feel comfortable using this product with my son in both stages.
The tub was sent with the "baby stopper" insert in place. The directions did not show or state how to remove it. Once I figured out that it just pulls out and pushes in, the main part of the tub felt flimsy and like it could snap with too much force.
I like that the tub drains from the bottom. However, the drain cannot be accessed without removing the "baby stopper," which makes for an additional step in the process. The hook to hang-dry the tub is a great feature. Unlike other slings and bath seats, this one saves on water usage because it is self-contained. The material allows for it to dry thoroughly and be wiped clean, but it is not forgiving of bumps from unsteady heads.
The squeeze bottle and whale scoop are unnecessary, but fun inclusions. My 2 year-old was too big to use the tub itself, but enjoyed playing with those added accessories.
Overall, we have enjoyed using this product. I'm sure we will get a lot of use out of it in the next few years. I expect that it will last that long and keep its functionality. I will be recommending it to other friends who are expecting.

Great Baby Tub!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this tub free of charge to review. We had another tub that we had gotten from our registry and it was so difficult to use. The sling in it was so hard to install and you had to put it on every time. Also, there wasn't an in-between stage for newborns and self sitters. I LOVE this new tub because the sling is easy to install and it has an assisted sitter option (Which is the stage my baby is at). It also comes with a neat squirt bottle thats kinda like a portable shower which is helpful. This tub is super durable. It also has a hook so you can hang the tub to dry or store until the next use which is very helpful if you don't have a lot of space.

Very Impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to be under the impression that all infant tubs were the same. I was wrong! In the past I always bought the cheapest tub because I assumed it didn't make a difference what was included, or what they claimed to do. I am in LOVE! The tub has a soft little pad attached to the tub itself to make for a soft place to lay your babies head. The sling wraps around the babies head to support a newborn. I absolutely love the little seat on the other side of the tub that helps your little one sit up when they are unable to support thenselves. I know in the last my little ones would try to sit up but we're unable to on their own, and it's hard to hold them up while trying to bathe them. The seat also helps your baby from sliding down to the other end when they are too little to sit, while they are only able to lay down. This tub grows with your baby also. When the supported seat isn't needed anymore, you just take it out. I really like how the bottom of the tub has notches that sit on the kitchen sink divider so that it doesn't slide with your baby in it. There is also a hook under the tub so you can hang it up to dry and keep out of the way. My kids love playing with the squirting bottle and toy whale that were included, and they are toddlers.

Perfect bathtub

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this bathtub!
We like the way the seating will grow with our baby. The sling is just perfect for a newborn, and then we like how the tub will support him as he grows and develops. We had a more standard tub for our first child, and it only had two positions. We’re excited for our second baby to have more options.
We like the accessories. The fish strainer toy is fascinating for my son. We really like the squirt bottle rinser, and haven’t seen something like this before. We also like groves that the tub has so we can use it in the bathtub or the sink. All in all, a very good product!

A Dream Bath

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 9 month old with whom I've always had trouble when its bath time. This changed everything! She now loves bath time. The large tub with the sit me up support makes it very easy to bathe her safely. She loves the extras that come with it especially the whale scoop. I am very happy with this tub and would recommend it to anyone.

Versatile and Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is 14 months old, but I wasn't ready to put him in the big tub yet. I can see how this product would be great for infancy on, as it has 4 different options for use and stages of development. I love the versatility of the tub. It has a really sleek design, and although I didn't try using it this way - one of the pictures showed it being used in a sink which would've been very nice for my back when my son was younger!
The colors are clean and bright, great for either gender. I love that it came with a squirt bottle and toy. My son loved being squirted and squirting with the bottle!
Overall, this is a great product, and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Awesome Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 4-in-1 Sling n' Seat Tub is a wonderful product. As I was shopping for a infant tub for my registry, I chose this product due to its features. The seat and sling were major benefits. After using this tub with my infant through just at six months, it is by far the best infant tub out on the market. I've used others, and our infant seems to slide around it and it's impossible to wash him alone. But with this Fisher Price tub, I am able to use both hands to wash him, instead of having to hold him with one hand and wash with the other. Bath time is much more enjoyable for both of us. Our infant also seems to enjoy the tub and he is now using the seat feature as it actually holds him up properly. I can see this product lasting for quite a while, so much so, that I wanted another one to travel with! The tub has a hook so it can hang up to dry, which is also handy. I definitely recommend this tub as it has realistic features!

Happier Bath Time
on August 30, 2015
Posted by: Mama21
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter is about 7 months old so we missed using the first two stages of this tub but I really like what I have used. Before getting this tub a friend had loaned us their baby tub for awhile but it was one of the ones with the baby seat built in as a large bump in the middle. This was fine for awhile until my daughter started scooting down in the tub instead of sitting up and ending up with that large bump jabbing in her back. The sit me up support of this tub is much better. It holds her nicely in place but she can still reach around and play in the water too. I also feel more comfortable giving her a bath because she isn't sliding all over. The neutral colors and tub toys that were included were a nice bonus too. The only complaint I have and really it's very minor is that using the support seat covers up the water plug so I can no longer drain the water as a signal that bath time is over. For the overall safer and happier bath time I'll deal with this minor inconvenience.
