SanHawaii08 · June 2010

has anyone used one of these? https://babybathtubs.com

We have one and we love it! We have a small bathroom with just a shower so we didn't want anything too big or bulky. We love that the Puj tub unfolds flat and we have it hanging on our bathroom wall when we're not using it. It fits perfectly in our bathroom sink and it's so easy to bathe J in it. I was nervous the first time I had to bathe him by myself but because you have both hands free and baby is reclining back, you don't have to worry about constantly supporting their head and neck. I'd totally recommend the Puj tub! I have a pic on Facebook of J in his Puj tub.

I don't have one, but THAT IS SO COOL! I wish we could use one - we just have the traditional infant tub with the insert thingy for them to recline in that goes in our bathtub. We tried bathing them in the sink once, but our sinks are kind of long and shallow so we couldn't get the water very deep (MIL keeps insisting that it would be easier for us to bathe them in the sink...no, MIL, it's no since we can't get enough water in there! *sigh*).

that looks really neat and I considered it, but I'm kind of glad I we don't have one b/c (from looking at the pictures, and from a few online reviews) it doesn't work well with big babies. Jack would have outgrown it by 2 mo. max (he is +95% height) because that is about when I would think he would not have fit in the sink if we wanted him to.

not sure - he alternates between showers (with the handheld attachment), baths with me or DH, or baths in his plastic tub. He likes lots of water to splash with so when using the infant tub I usually fill it up pretty high and then let him splash a little and then use a cup to pour water on him and out of the tub to lower the water level to a more normal low amount for the real cleaning portion of bath time.

But he is unusually big - so I still think the Puj tub would be neat, especially since you don't have to worry about storing a big plastic thing like most tubs...!

The Puj tub advertises that it will work in kitchen sinks, but I haven't been able to find evidence of this online. Does anyone know? We have a standard side-by-side square/rectangular stainless steel sink.

This is what I was thinking. It's definitely a short term solution.

You don't do much bathing in the first few weeks anyway - just a sponge bath because of the belly button, so I'm not sure this would be worth $40 to me. Can you put it on your registry?

yes my thoughts too. great for the beginning but they outgrow it. i also think you need to see what type of faucet you have b/c it brings baby closer to the faucet and you may have to worry about them grabbing it or bonking their head on it when they become more active

we have the euro bath and yes it is bulky but it is great and saves water. it reclines on one side for when they are little and when they are bigger they can use the other side to sit up. i still put miss A on the reclining side to wash her hair and then i sit her up on the same side and she plays with the nubby in the middle. i got mine at a just between friends sale for $10

I would totally recommend this tub. It's worth the $40 because my husband and I have a teensy apartment and storage is a huge thing for us. I love that the puj is so easy to use, which is not common for most baby baths. Not to mention there's no bending over a tub on your knees...ouch! I've found that by the time the baby grows out of the puj they're ready to go into the bigger tub anyway. I think it's a great tub and you'll love bathing your baby in it! good luck!
