Let's talk baby bath tubs

mb72105

We have a First years Tub to Seat Bath that we used with DD.  However we purchased a new house when she was 6 months old and quickly discovered the arm that secures the baby bath to the tub surround is not wide enough, therefore does not work. 

I will be getting a different tub for the babies but want to know your thoughts, pros and cons on the different options out there:

Do I just purchase the spounge that holds baby, the sling version that looks like a bouncy seat made for water, or a whole tub thing that can be used in the kitchen or bath, transforms from newborn to sitting up to no longer needs the baby tub?  If I go with one of the 1st two mentioned then I should get a bath ring that suctions to the tub for when they sit up or I have read others use a  laundry basket...  thoughts?  it is worth say buyting the FP rainforest bath that has the sling insert but can convert to assist when they sit up or ???

thanks for the help in advance!

i used one of the tubs with the slings in the big bathtub up until the boys were about 9 months old. then i switched to the rings w/suction cups (i don't think they make them anymore, though. i got mine from another triplet mom) and now they just sit in the tub.

We have this tub and have only used it with the newborn sling in it, but so far we love it.

We have the Primo Eurobath bath tub.  We had one of the smaller ones with the slings, but by three months they were starting to move around too much and I felt they didn't have enough room.  I started using the Primo tub (we got two at our shower) and I LOVE the Primo tub so much, I gave away the smaller tub.

We used a sling until just recently.  We used it in the kitchen sink.  Now we just have them sit in the sink.  I'm still not ready to brave the big tub, plus I think it would be a waste of water at this point.
