Reviewers love the convenience and functionality of The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn-to-Toddler Tub with Sling. Reviewers like the fact that this tub fits in most sinks, and parents appreciate the soft, mildew-resistant pads because they are comfortable and help prevent a baby from slipping. This model comes with a fabric sling for newborns; the sling lets you sponge-bath your baby without submerging him or her in water. The sling is then removable and you can use the molded plastic tub with two seating positions for older infants. Parents like that this model is small enough to fit into most kitchen sinks, but some parents say it's just too small for older toddlers. The top-rated Primo EuroBaby (*Est. $24) is a larger, more spacious baby tub, but it's too big to fit in the sink.
