5.0 out of 5 stars Best Tub Ever, August 24, 2006

This review is from: Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub (Toy)

This has been the best bath investment we made for our son! He began using this on the countertop in the bathroom at about 7 months. He's 14 months now and it's in the bathtub. The quaker on the duck's bill still wokrs and it has a handy suction cup so we stick it to the back of the tub wall when done. It drains nicely. We've taken several vacations and it deflates with ease. I don't know why the previous poster said it took them a half hour to blow up!? I've inflated this within a couple of minutes with no problem. Their issue may have been that they didn't read the directions regarding the valve. Many inflatable items have a closed valve so when you try and blow up the item, you have to pinch the stem at the same time. This allows a little flap in the valve to open and let air in. The purpose is to keep leaking of air from the valve stem over time to a minimum. My 72 year old mother in law blew this up at the beach with no problems once I showed her the valve trick! We highly recommend this tub as it is durable and fun! We just squeak the duck's bill and our son comes running for his bath!

5.0 out of 5 stars this baby bathtub is a lifesaver!!, July 16, 2002

This review is from: Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub (Toy)

My 18 month son had a blast with this product. It's an inflatable tub that fits inside the bathtub to make the tub comfy, cozy and non slip. My son is crazy about ducks and loved it when I squeaked the duck's beak to make quacking noises.

There is also a safety feature incorporated into the design. When the water is too hot, a safety warning appears that alerts parents to an unsafe water temperature.

This product is a definite winner!!

3.0 out of 5 stars other inflatable tubs are much better, December 30, 2007

This review is from: Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub (Toy)

This tub looks cute, but is really challenging to use--it seems like it was designed by someone who has never had to bathe a baby! I recommend the "Snug Tub Deluxe" instead, which is also inflatable and has all the benefits without the drawbacks.

I'm giving this 3 stars since it's worth buying if you don't have any other choices for an inflatable tub--these tubs are great when your baby has outgrown an infant tub and is able to sit unassisted but still not big enough for a full tub (since a slippery baby in a large, slippery tub is hard to hold, let alone wash!).

So this tub is better than nothing, but far more annoying than other tubs of this type. First, as other people have mentioned, the head and tail are enormous, which means that you can't fill it up directly from the tap! (The tail is smaller than the head, but still would require a tap that's at least 12 inches away from the wall.) I usually cup one hand at the bottom of the tap to make the water shoot out and into the tub (although a lot of it spills or runs down the tail of the duck and out into the main tub). Then I turn the faucet off so I can use both hands to wash baby. This means that I don't have clean water for rinsing the baby, so when baby is lathered I do an initial rinse with the soapy water, then sit the wet baby on my knee while I empty the tub (yes, my pants get soaked, so I just wear something that I plan to change later). There -is- a drain plug in the bottom of the duck tub, but it's far too slow, since the water pools under the tub, and the weight of the child and the water in the tub sort of pin it in place, preventing it from draining freely. So then I grab the duck by the neck (sad, but it's the easiest way to get a grip on the thing with just one hand, although I'm sure it means eventually the neck will weaken and leak) and flip it upside down to empty it... and in the process, the suction cup at the bottom of the tub inevitably sticks, so I have to jerk to loosen it (while keeping baby from jiggling too much). Phew! Then I repeat the process to fill the tub a little again (so baby won't get too cold), sit the baby in the tub, and rinse him off.

That suction cup is actually a feature to hang the tub on the far wall of your shower when you're finished... and is a nice feature on other inflatable tubs, but not useful here. This is due to the aforementioned enormous size... from the base of the tub to the top of the head is at least 2 feet, which means that if you're bathing in a standard tub (about 5 feet long), it takes up ALMOST HALF of your showering space! And since my shower head angles out rather than straight down, I usually stand in the middle of the tub (at 2.5 feet) ... and find myself bumping against the duck head about every 3 seconds. Not very fun. So I leave the duck tub on my bathroom floor rather than hanging it. Which means the only difference the suction cup makes is that it prevents me from emptying the tub easily while bathing the baby! Did I mention this tub was annoying? ;)

BTW, the duck head is cute, but when your child is sitting inside the tub they can't see it. And the quacking sound is surprisingly difficult to get--you have to reallllly squeeze in just the right spot to make it happen. But it does make both of my kids laugh :-P
