Blooming Bath Baby Bath
I was excited to receive this product at my baby shower because I had heard a lot about it and it just looked adorable in pictures. I was not disappointed when I opened it and saw a beautiful turquoise color flower that felt like memory foam when pressed down on. My first thoughts were how soft it was and how cute and different it was. When I gave my baby her first bath in it, she had this precious smile on her face! She was so tiny and this was so comfortable for her to lay on and so soft on her delicate skin. Even my little toddler loved it and wanted use it in her big girl tub! I honestly love this tub and it's so portable that you can take it to a hotel, grandma's house, or even use it in the sink. It does not take up much space at all and it is very easy to keep clean. My only issue with it is how hard it is to make sure all the water is wrung out of the flower when you're done using it and it takes a while to dry out. With that being said, this is a must-have item for any parent that wants convenience, comfort, and an adorable way to bathe their little one at an affordable price of $39.99.

Summer Infant Lil' Luxuries Whirlpool, Bubbling Spa and Shower
When I saw this as a first time mom, I immediately knew I was going to get this for my baby. The name says it all---luxurious. My first impressions of the product were the how pretty the color of the tub was (a pale pastel green) and the intricate design of the tub itself with a shower head, cushion sling, the jets and
the overall size of the tub. Here are my favorite things and comments about this product.
PROS: the pretty pastel colors it comes in; the shower head unit is removable so you can put it in a standard tub as baby gets older; tub is big enough to grow with your child (my tiny toddler still loves it!!); the jets keep the bath truly feeling like a spa and gives baby that soothing vibration; motorized jet can also create bubbles for baby to enjoy; newborn sling with cushion is mesh and lightweight and can be used outside of this tub; thickness of the inside of the tub keeps temperature warmer than other tubs
CONS: This tub was used a lot but the motor stopped working after about 9 months, so that meant no more shower head or jets or bubbles. While we still continue to use the tub and sling with our second baby, it would have been great for the motor to have lasted longer. Also, the price may scare some people away at $64.99, but it truly is a miniature spa for any baby.

Skip Hop Moby Bath 3-Stage Bathtub
This tub is cute, nothing too frilly. Though I think it may be a stretch to call the tub a whale, it does its job! This particular tub has three different "stages" of adjustment: newborn, infant, and sitters. As a newborn, my son LOVED this tub, and I did, too! The newborn sling is great. It cradles the baby perfectly, isn't slippery, and has a nice cushion. The newborn sling sits up high out of the water, so you can decide how deep to fill the tub, depending on the weight of your baby and how far down he/she is in the tub. The infant stage has not been as functional for our particular baby. At 6 months,the newborn sling makes the tub too short for him, so we had to adjust to the second stage, where the sling's bottom shifts from the end of the tub to down inside, creating a "prop." He is not quite sitting up on his own. Our issue is that our baby slides down if you aren't holding him. Because of this, we either have to put very little water in the tub (he gets cold this way... and cranky) or we have to hold him while bathing, meaning it's a two-person job. Not ideal. However, I think that once he can sit up well on his own, we'll be able to use it again.
Pros: Deep Basin, but you can control how far down your newborn is in the water. The sling is very comfortable for baby. There is a handy hanger that comes out of the top so you can hang up out of the way. I like that it adjusts to three different stages (though the second didn't work for us). There is a drain in the bottom,
Cons: Though it has a hanger and a drain, it is really difficult to completely dry out. For this reason, it carries a musty smell until you full out wash it, which is no easy feat. (specifically the sling). Stage two isn't working for us, making it unusable at the moment.
Overall, this is a good tub for a reasonable price at $30. I would recommend it to mommies who don't need a bathtub with all the frills and who has somewhere to hang it up.
