I love researching an item before I make a big purchase, which to me is something that costs more than about $30 :) . I like to make sure that what I am getting is the best for the money - especially if it will be used frequently - so I will research customer reviews until I make what I think is a good decision. So, I have decided to start out sharing some of my favorite products. If you are like me, maybe this will save you some valuable time and effort.
So without further ado:
We have gone through several bathing apparatuses for Sterling. We started out in a one bathroom apartment, so we needed something that wouldn't take up a lot of space. We got this fold up bathtub that was a great space saver, but it required two people to hold Sterling up when he was a small infant. When he got a little bigger we had a few weeks that it worked really well, then he started kicking and bowing his back and it once again required someone to hold him down and someone to bathe him. Then we got this cloth seat that would fold up, still needing something that would save space, I thought it would be perfect. And it did work a few times. Then Sterling learned he could kick against that too, and I was afraid he would fall out and into the big bathtub full of water.
When we moved into our house getting a good bathtub was high on my priority list. My mom found this one at Wal-Mart for about $20.
It is from First Years and I love it. Sterling sits up great in it and doesn't fall. It also has a toddler seat if you wanted to use that, and I think you can buy it one of those infant hammock things as well. Also, that little grove underneath fits on the kitchen sink so that you can use it there too. We have not used that option, but I think it was a clever idea. Sterling loves it. He can splash and kick all he wants, and I can bathe him all by myself again. Hurray!

The bathtub is The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe, and it actually comes with a newborn bath cradle. It is a form fitting netting which attaches to the bathtub. In your haste to "get it out of my house" (just kidding - I insisted she take it), the "cradle" was left behind. We never tried it because Sterling was too old by the time I purchased it but I did use the thing on the bottom to attach it to the kitchen sink and that worked great! It is an excellent bathtub, and I will save the newborn thing for you! I'm going to purchase one for myself today!
