Doesn't using this in say a bathroom sink make it difficult to rinse baby? Doesn't the faucet get in the way? Baby could hit faucet &amp; change temp!!

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.

I just contacted Philips asking about using it for stainless steel baby bottles and they answer is they only recommend using it with Avent baby bottles. I just received my sanitizer, but planning to return it as I am not using Avent bottles

It is very flexible and can be forced into an area that size but greatly reduces area for baby to lay. My recommendation is to us it in you bathtub with only about an inch of warm water in bottom of tub. Push up and down on the bath pad so it absorbs the warm water and your baby will be warmed by it. Just be sure to fold up a towel or rug for under your knees (beside the tub) so mom can be comfy too!

Are you asking if the sink is too big? I don't think so - seems some folks just use the bathtub! I measured the plastic tub I use (which I put in the bathtub) - it is a 12"x17" rectangle that is 12" deep. I can wash a load of undies, or a couple shirts and slacks or a queen sheet in the tub without even filling it clear up. I would think if you use a laundry sink, which might be bigger, you would just keep the water more shallow. You can tell when you have the water high enough to plunge the clothes around easily. In fact, I was just reading the newer reviews here and I like the idea of putting a laundry basket inside the washing tub so you can lift out the clothes to empty the water. You could certainly do that inside a laundry tub! Also, I just did a couple loads yesterday and am still enjoying the mobile washer - short handle and all. My handle has not loosened, but I'm sure I can fix it if it does. I really do like this device - it keeps my inner hippy chick alive in my social security aged body!

It certainly wouldn't cause the baby to slip. It would also be good for using to keep the baby from touching the tub surface, which appears to be clean, but you never know. I use the item to keep me from slipping in my shower/tub. I had slipped prior to getting it and haven't had that occasion since.

The new born may be too tiny for this. Second thing, some times babies will startle when you spray water on them, so the chances of slipping are a lot which is dangerous ( solution: Use a towel on top of this as it increase friction and reduces slippage)The mesh is soft enough for the new born's skin.We ended up returning ours, but got it as a gift from a friend, so ended up using it!. Folds terrible, but other wise works fine.

I bought this for a gift and assume that they put it inside the large bathtub they have at their home.Boiled kettle water would be too hot for the baby and I don't recommend doing that. if you do not have a bathtub in your bathroom, I would put it somewhere close to a sink and use a large pit perhaps?

I would not use on the counter, but we have a very large farm house sink and I loved bathing the baby in it in the sink! It will not fit in a standard size sink.

It really is unpleasant to say the least... If you need that you will have to have something external that hooks to both hot and cold water with faucets and feeds into this bidet. All toilets I've seen so far would be impossible for such a solution to be put in place because only cold water feeds the toilet seat.

Just a mesh on a seat. Baby wont get out from it easily due to its shape contoured to body shape. i didn't use the mesh, given soap might get into it during the bath time. i know we can clean it, but i don't know we can clean 100% between the baths.

You may be able to connect to the sink. Take a look under the sink to see if there are similar hoses/connectors. You may need to buy an adapter to do it, as others have already said. Since your sink is only 2 feet away, you can still probably rinse into the toilet. I've seen this set up on YouTube videos of diaper sprayers, and I guess it's really nice because you can stow the sprayer away in the cabinet out of sight.

I did use this in my kitchen but it was used in a sink that was primarily used for hand washing. It was not used on the sink used for clean up or food prep. I suppose that it could be used that way but I think it is really intended to be used with a bar sink. This may also be available in a larger form factor that would be more suitable for kitchen use.

I just cannot see how this thing is going to come in contact with the water in the bowl, unless you drop it in there. On the other hand the water being sprayed may and I emphasis "may" come in contact with it. Just wash it in the sink with soap like you use for your hands-good enough to clean your hands good enough to clean this item IMHO

Yes, I use this only in my kitchen sink , I feel like it sits and works a lot better in the kitchen. One of my favorite baby items a must have!

You can, the water will go through the holes and the counter would get wet. Also, not very warm for baby :)

It won't fit in the sink...even if your sink was big. This baby bath tub is about 2'4". I plan to use it either in the bath tub or over a drop cloth anywhere in the house.

We have used this tub exclusively at our kitchen sink since our daughter was born (she is now 5 months old). It does not fit inside the sink but mounts safely on top of the sink area. This actually allows the water to drain better from the bottom of the tub. We love this tub and stronger recommend it!
