I was shocked when I read the other reviews and saw all the problems everyone else is having with this tub.I really haven't had any problems with the tub.The shower feature works fine, and my baby, who HATES baths, settles right down when I spray her all over with the gentle spray.One time I thought the shower was broken because I pushed the button and it only dripped water, but then I found that the hose had a kink in it, and once I fixed that, it worked fine again.
Here are the things I like about the tub:
1) Gentle shower spray soothes baby
2) Sling keeps baby at a good angle and makes it easy for me to sit her up to wash her hair and back
3) Can take the shower out of the tub to make more room for growing baby
4) Shower is a great source of clean water to rinse baby, which is nicer than using the tub water and a washcloth only to rinse, especially if your baby is like mine and pees in the tub from time to time!
What I don't like about the tub:
1) Sling doesn't fit in my kitchen sink, which the directions suggest you do to bathe a newborn.
2) The tub is too short--I had to take the shower out when my baby was only 5 weeks old to make room for her legs.
3) Water temperature gage on the side of the shower is too hard to read
4) The biggest pain is in order to replace the batteries in the shower unit, you have to unscrew about a dozen very small screws to get to the batteries.But I guess this is a necessary evil so that the batteries stay dry--but it's still a big pain to change out the batteries.
All in all, this tub gets the job done.I'm not disappointed that I bought it.I have not experienced any malfunctions with the product yet, and I've used it quite a few times.I think the biggest advantage of the tub is the shower, which makes it super easy to rinse baby and wash baby's hair.
