Product Description
The 4moms Cleanwater Infant Tub with Digital Thermometer brings a fresh approach to infant bathing. The unique design enables running faucet water to create a gentle circulating flow within the tub, cradling baby in clean, warm water. The fast responding digital thermometer makes it easy to set and maintain a comfortable water temperature, so baby stays warm throughout bath time. The water resistant backlit display is color coded to indicate when the water is cold (blue), warm (green) or hot (red). A graphic Comfort Zone, which is part of the display, and audible high temperature alerts take the guesswwork out of monitoring the water temperature. With the additional benefits of sidewall drains through which dirty water is continuously expelled and a contoured bottom that enables the tub to be used in single and double basin sinks and all bath tubs, this Infant Tub from 4moms will make infant bathing easier and more enjoyable for both parents and babies.

 nice concept but poor quality September 7, 2008
cj_nyc (nyc)
i was so excited to use this tub. i like the concept of this tub but for a couple of use, the rubber stopper started to loosen and started to leak! also the temperature screen failed and went dead. very disappointed with this item. however, i'm still using this but i use a digital thermometer to check for water temp. check other products first before buying.
A great techy tub, but with problems September 1, 2008
Richard Hagen (Brooklyn, NY United States)
I got this tub as a gift on the baby registry. I had seen some other reviews and thought this would be an interesting tub to use.
Pros:
1) the temp sensor works very well when it works (more on that)
2) the tub offers multiple drainage outlets
3) the constant flow of the water in this is very nice indeed
4) nice and strong construction
5) soft pad to lie the baby against
Cons:
1) temp sensor unit is NOT 100% watertight, though it tries to be. The weak point is right over the display, no rubber o-rings there. Super bad design choice there. Not much water will get in - but even a DROP of water is bad for electronics! Mine had about a teaspoon of water in it when I opened it up to check why it was malfunctioning.
2) temp sensor switch is FRAGILE. Mine got a loose connection (display would turn on and off by itself) and now refuses to turn on at all anymore. I took it apart to try to fix the switch - its a cheap metal bubble type switch, and also discovered no rubber seal over the LCD display which is the place it's going to get splashed the most!
3) The tub is larger than you think it's going to be.
4) could have more padding. Infant heads bang up against the plastic. You have to have 2 people to bathe an infant in this.
Overall, I like the tub, but the selling point is the temp sensor... and that's a fragile piece of equipment. Maybe I shouldn't expect 100% quality for the price, but I would be willing to pay a few more dollars for a sensor that has better design towards being waterproof and with a better switch, like a microswitch instead of a cheap metal bubble type thing which experiences metal fatigue and dies after 3 months of use (I pressed the button maybe twice a day at most for 3 months. I think that the switch should be more robust!)
 One of our best baby buys August 20, 2008
Bay Area Parent (Oakland - California)
OK. We didn't buy this ourselves, but we put it on our registry. We love this tub and are sad that soon our girl will be too big for it. This tub has been great. It has definitely been one of our top baby items.
We love that there is always clean water in the tub, and the reservoir keeps the tub water from getting to hot or too cold too quickly which is great since my daughter tries to grab for the hot water handle. If she ever did turn up the hot water, the alarm on the tub would go off, and the initial pool of clean water would temper it before it reached my girl.
My only real complaint about this tub is that it slide around in our double sink if nothing else is under it.
PROS
* Easy to use and fits easily in our double kitchen sink.
* Temperature control is great! No cold water, no scalding water.
* Allowed us to bathe our girl standing at the sink till she gets too big.
* Always clean water.
* Easy to drain, rinse, and refill when pee/poo happens in the tub.
* Padded tub seems comfortable and very safe
CONS
* Probably bad if you are trying to conserve water under drought conditions.
* Bulky to store
* Slides around in sink (put a washcloth under it to stop that)
* Wish there were a bigger version for older infants
All in all, we have loved this tub. Our girl gets excited when she sees us setting it up.
Not Worth The Money July 22, 2008

This tub is a wonderful idea but a poor execution. The water runs right over the LED screen -- which is not water tight. So even if you can get the unit to work (ours did not, even with a change of batteries, all we could get was the message screen) water will eventually leak into the unit and cause it to fail.
The tub is large for a "baby" baby, and the overflow hole needs to be larger. The unit is also HUGE and clunky. The "backrest" is made of flimsy styrofoam material and chunks of it can be removed at the slightest nick of a fingernail.
I was excited to get this tub, but bummed when it proved to be such a poor design, which ultimately failed. We still use the tub, but removed the batteries (which were a shock hazard) and use an instant-read thermometer to gauge the temp. I could have done the same thing with a far, far cheaper tub.
Don't waste your money.
Perfect! July 11, 2008
Paula Kangis (Anchorage, Alaska)
After reading other great reviews on this infant bathtub, I knew I had to give it a try. It's perfect, works great and gives my husband and I the peace of mind that the water temp is just right for our little boy.
