Star Rating: 4
The product has no knocks or marks yet, but I have been gentle with it as bathing a newborn isn’t a vigorous activity! I would think it may not store as well as a hard plastic bath, but I haven’t tried storing it yet to test this theory.
Value for money:
Star rating: 4
I think this depends on what your alternative would be. Compared to another bath seat I’d prefer to spend my money on this as it works really well. However a parent who was going just to use a normal bath with the baby lying down may think of it as expensive!
This bath also only takes a small amount of water to fill it so it doesn’t need much money to pay for hot water.
Easy to use:
Star Rating 5
I had SPD and hip pain before birth, so I was apprehensive about more physical things after birth, such as getting down to bath level to bathe my newborn. However this bath was a godsend. The bath was very light and I was easily able to pick it up and put it on a table, even with water in.
What you like about it?
I really enjoyed using the Shnuggle Bath
The shape of the Shnuggle Bath really helped my baby stay sat up – even from his very first bath, leaving me 2 hands free to wash and play with him. No newborn flopping about in a scary fashion! To wash his back I just leant him forward over one arm and lifted him slightly out of the water to get to his back and bottom with my other. This movement was made simple though with the help from the shape of the bath.
Also being so light I easily picked it up and put it on a table so I can make good eye contact and really bond with my baby every bath time
What you don’t like about it?
The grips on the bath to stop the baby sliding are slightly rougher than I would have liked, but my baby didn’t seem to notice.
What could make it even better?
I would like smaller/smoother anti slip bumps, but I don’t know if this would lead to baby slipping around too much.
Although there was a max fill line for the water, I went over this a bit as I found it easier to move baby around in the bath and wash his underneath bits, but this did make him slightly less stable – so this would be a personal call for any parents doing the bathing, I just thought it would be worth mentioning.
