Question about the blow-up duck tub:

How exactly does it work? I mean, do you have to sit there and pump it up every time you use it?

I'm trying to decide if I want to get one or not, but I just don't know if its going to be practical.

    Sorry to jump in this post - but I also had a quetsion re: the duck tub....

    Does it have a plug on the bottom to release the bath water so you can empty it while LO is still in there?

  • We keep it blown up and just make sure to dump all the water out each time we use it so it doesn't get moldy or mildewy. We love it!

    Yes it does.

  • Ok, so what if you didn't have the room to leave it blown up? Still worth it?

  • I think I have the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders tub and it has a removable seat in it.  We took that out and DD sits in her tub just fine without the seat.    I'm not sure if this is an option for you or not.I didn't want to buy the duck thing because it looked too big and bulky.

  • We leave it blown up!

    We also leave the plug in and just dump the water out everytime and then leave it upside down in the bath (to dry) until my husband takes a shower the next morning.

    We leave it in our office when my husband takes a shower!

    I say it's worth it bc she doesn't slip and slide all over in it. I can sit next to the tub and let her play instead of trying to hold on to her and make sure she won't fall!

    She loves it!

    You would blow the duck up just like you would a beach ball.  There are two parts to blow up (one on bottom and the main duck part).  It really doesn't take long at all..  Although, we leave the duck sitting in the bath.  If you had to let out the air after each use and then blow it up before bath time, that could be a pain.

    THANKS! Finally lol. That was what I was wondering. We don't have the space to leave it blown up, and if I got one I would ultimately have to blow it up each and every time I use it. Therefore, I'm probably not going to get one :( They look super cute and fun tho!

    ds loved it- were probably getting another one for dd. we left it blown up but it has a suction cup on the bottom. we just suctioned it to the wall when we weren't using it...
