First Years Comfort Newborn Toddler Reviews Summary

Design and Fit

Pros:

• "It's light and easy to store and best of all it fits in our farmhouse sink (36 inches I think) so we can bathe her in the kitchen without having to bend down in the bathtub."
• "The tub seems like it will be great for baby to grow with."
• "Like this tub a good amount. It’s a lot bigger than I expected, but still pleased with the size so baby can stretch out."
• "The tub sits perfectly in the sink (which is nice when the infants are little so no bending over required!) but also sits in the bath tub just fine."
• "The biggest plus for us is that it fits into our Kitchen Sink, making it super easy to use."
• "It's not taking up half your bathroom space."
• "This one is great because she stays on the sling part."

Cons:

• "The little hump on the bottom isn’t high enough, so she constantly is arching her back and 'falling' down in the tub."
• "The weight of the baby in the infant sling will weigh the baby down into the bump on the tub, thus hurting their back."
• "The shape seems to be a bit rigid, in a way that my son (almost 3 months) can kick his legs down, and lift his butt over the 'bump' that is supposed to keep him in place, which almost causes him to go under water!"
• "Every time she kicks up she slides down the incline."
• "The only other thing is just how big and bulky it is and the fact you can’t really put it on its side and expect it to stay to drain."
• "This is ridiculously big to fit into a sink unless you have a double with a shorter divider in the middle."
• "The tub is bulky, so it may not be the best choice for families short on space."

Safety and Comfort

Pros:

• "It feels much more safe using the tub."
• "It's made bathtime so much easier & our little really loves it."
• "This bath is a life saver."
• "The raised part in the bottom helps keep him upright when he’s sitting in it."
• "She sits nicely, doesn’t slip and it supports her head so we don’t have to hold it."
• "The newborn sling is great and very sturdy."
• "I love the ergonomics of this product as it allows baby to sit in multiple positions depending on his size."

Cons:

• "The placement of the drainage hole is useless."
• "The sling doesn't come with any padded support for newborns which I think is necessary if a single parent performs the Bath."
• "The inclined side is very slippery and he seems to be all over the tub when I bathe him!"
• "Every time we put him in the tub, he slides down and the hump in the middle digs in his back."
• "The seat is at a really bad angle and the baby can not sit steady at all."
• "The hump in the middle of the tub is not deep enough for a growing baby and my girl (4 months) is constantly sliding down into the water."
• "Tub slips and slides in our bath, no rubber feet to prevent this, very dangerous."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "It’s easy to clean, light weight and sturdy!"
• "Yes it's plastic but for plastic it seems very sturdy and easy to use."
• "Very durable and stable."
• "The tub seems very sturdy."
• "Well made product. Very sturdy and stable."
• "It's very sturdy, easy to wash, easy to use."
• "Over all a great and durable product that I recommend for the price!"

Cons:

• "The drain leaks, not an issue if using over the kitchen sink or in the tub but I'm using it on my bathroom counter."
• "I noticed the color started to leach around 1 month of use."
• "This product reached me broken already, the quality of the product was substandard."
• "You can tell this is cheaply made compared to my other one."
• "Product came as expected, but seems a little cheaply made."
• "The material is sturdy, I use the mesh net to place my baby and I use a plastic cup to pour water on him."
• "It seems that heavier packaging was placed on top causing it to stress the plastic so I'm nervous that it's going to split open if it's filled with water."

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pros:

• "The tub is easy to fill, drain and clean."
• "It's very easy to clean, we never had any mold issues but we also made sure to rinse it well and flip it upside down to dry after every use and leave the drain open."
• "I liked the fact that they have a cubby for putting the soap/shampoo bottles while giving a bath."
• "The hammock is removable which I removed because she grew out of it and now I have her sit up while I take her a bath."
• "I wipe clean the plastic part and it stays nice and shiny."
• "It dries out pretty nicely as well, so worrying about mold or anything hasn’t been an issue for me!"
• "Easy to drain and clean the sling as well."

Cons:

• "Some crooks and crevasses that I dont understand why they are there which makes for a little extra work to clean."
• "A film of dirt or soap or both is just sitting in a part of the tub that I can't clean."
• "The whales left blue dye migration on our tub we can't get out!!! Now we have to pay 500 to get it refinished if we don't want purple marks."
• "I needed to use a toothbrush to get the mold out."
• "There is also a lot of places in the bathtub for water to sit and it's hard to keep clean."
• "Unless it's stored completely upside down there are little nooks water gets trapped that get a little slimy and hard to clean."
• "There are two small sections that are SO hard to clean."
