[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product to bathe my 6 week old newborn in our sink. I needed a better option than the standard baby bathtub. I had a plastic tub that did not fit in my sink and also tried the flower type pad. (That took up too much room and shifted while my baby was in it) This works better cradling my baby so I dont have to completely keep one hand to keep him upright. The tail portion keeps his head cushioned well and comfortable. I like how it forms around him and then lays flat if/when I want to use it in the tub to lay him on. Other convenient features is the mesh center for easy draining and keeping water around babe. There is a velcro strap at the top to hang it store/dry. One other feature that I like is the beads (similar to bean bag chair beads) make drying quick. That was main reason I didn't like the flower pad. It took too much time and effort to wring out and too long to dry. The reason i didnt give this product a full 5 stars is that even though it's a pretty good fit in my sink, the whole product, with baby in it, shifts down so I have to adjust multiple times throughout his bath so his head isn't resting on the edge of the sink. If the next generation of this product were to have some sort of grips on the underside so it didn't slip, it would be a 5 star product! The last thing I wanted to mention was the sizing of it. I feel like my baby is slightly larger at his age (maybe 60 percentile) but he fits well. I believe he will be able to fit in this whale bather until he's too big to be in the sink itself.
