Not as comfortable as it looks......
I bought this for my newborn son who weighed 9-1, I used the sling for newborns but the ridge in the tub that is used for the baby's bottom (when they are bigger)pushed into my newborns back leaving welts!! So, when he turned about 3 months old (about 13 lbs) I took the infant sling out and used just the tub but also had problems. The back rest does not have a non-slip surface so you must be very careful or the small infant will just slide/ tip over to the side !!

Awkward and Uncomfortable...2 1/2 Stars...
I used this tub for the first 6 months of my son's life, and I never really liked it. It was OK when he was a little baby and could fit in the sling part, but the pillow would get very cold very fast, and keeping him warm while trying to bathe him at the same time was a challenge.
When I took the sling out, the tub became a HUGE pain-in-the-butt. The seat area was almost too small for him, so he was always uncomfortable. Plus, he wasn't yet sitting up on his own, but laying back would make the tub tip backwards...even with water in it. What aggravated me the most though, was just how hard it was to get ALL the soap off his body. The water in the tub becomes soapy as you rinse him off, so unless you have a detachable shower head (which I do not) then there's soap on him when you pull him out.
I only used this tub maybe twice after removing the sling. At about 6 1/2 months, I ditched it and bought a bath chair...MUCH better! Overall, this was just OK as an infant tub, but no good for bigger babies. I do not recommend.

Who knew a tub could cause so much trouble
I have used this tub for my two kids and have never been happy with it. When using the hammock their back would lay right on that hump and it would leave a huge red mark on their back, I don't know how they put up with it. And only their little tushes were in the water, leaving me to constantly try to keep the rest of their body warm. The pillow also would get very cold. Without the hammock they keep slipping off that seat and can't seem to get comfortable at all. Then, we they are old enough to sit well, the dang seat is too small. At every stage, this tub has been a disappointment. We picked it because it was the fancier of the tubs, but honestly the 10 dollar Safety First tub has a better design and you can just buy your own toys.
