Can one drain the tub easily with little one sitting in it at stage 3 &amp; 4 (no sling)?

Nope. The drain is located below the green seat, so you'd have to take the seat out to drain it. I lift my LO out and rinse her in the shower; then I just flip tub over to drain it. It's a vey comfy tub, however. LO loves it If you're looking for an easy to drain one, I definitely recommend the 4moms, also sold by Amazon. I have one at my mother's house, the drain is located at LO's feet. It really depends on your bathing situation. If you bathe LO in shower or tub, the easiest way to drain is flipping the tub over after you've finished bathing and dressing LO. This really is a comfy tub, and my LO's favorite.

I'd say until like 1 year old. I found by the time my son was older he just wanted to be in the big tub without this bath because it was easier to splash and play better. Side bar I didn't love this tub because it doesn't hold water. Then you have to fill the tub so full to get enough water to pool in the little tub. I used an inflatable one instead so he could splash more and just used this when traveling and needed something safe for him to sit in for a quick bath.

You don't need anything, keep in mind there is a weight limit for this product (I think it's 14lbs) When the babies are that small they don't move much. Your baby may try to touch the water, but it won't hurt them. Do not get this tub if your baby is over the weight limit, it will not work well

hi, I have one of this but it has a cushion with plastic hooks that you can select the level where will be the baby. newborn is highest level. in general this tub is confortable for the baby and for the parents. I recomend it. rgds / hola, yo tengo una como esta pero tiene un colchon con ganchos de plastico con los que puedes seleccionar el nivel donde quieres situar al bebe. para recien nacido es el nivel mas alto. en general esta bañera es muy comoda tanto para el bebe como para los padres. yo la recomiendo. saludos!

I really liked the product and it works very well. You can technically fit a toddler in the tub but it becomes tough to actually give them a bath without getting water everywhere after they are beyond 15-18 lbs or so, especially if your child likes to play and splash in water.

Our eight year old has gotten in too when she has wanted to help. The leacho doesn't take up much roomIn the tub, but you would definitely want to monitor the water levels.

The tub doesn't "fill up." The overlap that allows it to lay flat when not in use also allows it to drain as your bathe the baby. This is not a conventional tub that you fill and then put the baby in. It's a place for baby to be comfortably supported while being bathed.

I used the tub only without accessories. I was looking for a large tub for then my 3 months old son. I returned it bc it was not large enough. When filled with water, the plastic of the tub is slippery, but it is always like that with most tubs. When I bathe my son I always support him by holding him and most of the time I have help.

Yes! NO PROBLEMS!! Absolutely love it!!!!! Sling is attached well, & is easy to remove when needed. Very easy to clean, & it drains quickly. We haven't used the seat yet, due to the age of the baby. Can't wait 'til she can sit, to try it!

This tub does not have a drain. We bucket ours out till it's light enough to dump if the water gets dirty.

I transitioned LO once he would no longer stay laying back in angel care. He had been sitting up on his own outside of tub for about 3 months but didn't try sitting up in angel care until after he was well established in tub. I only put about 2 inches of water to start. As long as baby can sit up on own for long periods of time you should be ok. Good luck.

My baby is less than three months old, therefore I still have not filled up the tub all the way. I filled it just enough for him to lay down and not get water on his face or mouth.

Why would you? You might as well use your bath tub then. The reason for the height in the tub is so it will not be so back breaking. I guess you could, but their would be a problem you would not able to attach the water drain cord. The water would just drain under the tub. I really like it. It is a lot easier to use than the bath tub where I was always on my knees and did not have that much control of the dog. I have a 90 lbs. golden and she fits wonderful in it and is able to turn around without a problem and it is not back breaking for me when I give her a bath

I guess it would depend on what type of faucet you have, but I've never had an issue and I've used the puj tub with 2 babies now. They were so little and weren't coordinated or strong enough to reach or hit the faucet, let alone change the temperature. And the faucet doesn't get in the way of bathing since they are laying back in the tub. I've never found it hard to rinse the babies but each person has their own method, I'm sure.

We used this tub as a transition from the infant tub until our large baby boy was over a year old. He could sit on his own in the tub at about 6 months but we still felt this tub was great for helping rinse the shampoo from his hair so his face didn't get wet. Once you're baby is able to sit unassisted on their own, you can probably just use the bath tub but it's nice to have this around for rinsing. Hope that's helpful!

It retained heat just fine for me in January. My biggest issue was that it was TOO hot for much of my labor (thanks for filling it anyway, husband). However, in the 50+ waterbirths I've attended, you need to drain some water and top it off with hot water after about three or for hours if it was almost too hot to start with. It seems to be universal for every tub I've seen used.

My son was 2 (and my daughter 3 mo) when I started bathing them together. There is room in the tub, though not by much - the older child wont be able to move around and will have to sit in one place! That's not always a bad thing though :) HOWEVER, this tub FLOATS in a tub full of water! And, it rocks bath and forth with even the smallest amount of water in the big tub. I wouldn't recommend it for bathing together - a mesh seat works much better, which is what we used until my daughter was ready to sit on her own.
