Fisher-Price Precious Planet Whale of a Tub

This has been a great tub which we actually used for almost 2 years, but parents need to know. When i buy produts for our baby i always try to make sure it is toxin free and safe. I actually contacted fisher price on facebook asking if this is safe plastic. They wrote me back a whole article that this meets all safety regulations etc. unfortunatelly back 2 yrs ago I believed them and purchased the tub. This tub is made of PVC, a very toxic material especially to babies, plastic grade 3. Dont make the same mistake I made. Buy a tub you know is safe for your baby and not a pvc tub. I jusf wanted to warn parents not tslk bad sbout the coopsny, even though i am very angry with them for lying to me so i eont name what all PVC can cause in babies, but you will find it anywhere in the internet. As for fisher price, be honest or train your employees to give out proper information about the products

I'm an NICU nurse and a mom of two and so I've bathed a lot of babies in my time. This tub really is fantastic. It's simple but it supports babies really well on the insert. I have sat my kids on it as newborns and they're happy! It has just the right amount of recline so the baby is comfortable and secure. My 3 month old likes it so much that I sit her in it without water while her older sister has a bath in the big tub. No gimmicks so it's easy to clean. Only thing I'll say is don't use bath oil. I tried it a few times and it seemed to cause water to get trapped in the foam back, making it form mildew. Since I stopped using oil I've never had a problem.

I bought this tub because my baby liked to be sitting up in the tub which would make bath time difficult. The other tub I had had one of those mesh inserts which had him in a lying down position. This tub has him sitting up and now he loves his baths. It's easy to clean, a great size that my son can grow into. I also liked that it came with a little strainer toy. I recommend this product.

I purchased this for my newborn after receiving 2 at my baby shower that are for an older baby. I had registered for a more complicated one that showed the temp. Of the water, etc. but I decided to skip it once I saw this at the store. So glad I chose this one instead, its simple, adorable and you can't beat the price.

I'm not ordinarily big on writing reviews, but as a first time mom, I found it extremely helpful to read other moms' opinions on products while picking items for my baby. This tub has been wonderful. I originally had a much more complicated tub of another brand on my registry. If you are a mom, you know that every single item for baby comes with complex assembly and a billion pieces and parts. I received the other tub (it was a spa with jets which looked enticing, albeit highly excessive and impractical for daily use) right when I was getting fed up with having to spend hours assembling every single thing I received for baby. I took back the other tub and purchased this one based on other reviews. It is fabulous! So easy to use and maneuver and my baby is comfortable and happy during every bath. I have not removed the "baby stopper" yet because my baby is not sitting on his own yet. When the time comes, I think I will feel much more secure having him in this smaller, confined bath tub (in case he inevitably "tips over") versus the big tub. This was one of the cheaper tubs we looked at, and it is truly all you need. One tip: water stays in the bottom of the tub even after you open up the drain, so to ensure that all the water is emptied, I turn it over and shake it and let it dry out upside down after each use.
