Ok. I have to put my two cents in on this one. Let me just say, I’m not one to be mean, or put people down. (Well, I can’t say that, I do from time to time depending on the situation.) And I’m sure this was well intentioned when the creator thought it up, but Tummy Tubs are…well, to put it bluntly…a tub of doom.
I first saw this product on Baby Blog Addict, and I just sat here going, “…ok”. So I went to the site to check it out, and what do I see? Babies stuffed into buckets filled with water. Now, it might just be me, but two things here. One, I can go to Target and buy a bucket to bathe my child in (which will never happen). For a low ass price for that matter. Seriously, who would spend $50.00 on this. $50 for a fucking bucket. You people must have a lot of money to throw out and around if you’re buying this thing. How about sending the money to people who need food in their tummy’s or clothes on their backs! Better way to waste your green, eh?
And two, how easy would it be for an infant in this “tub”, filled with water almost up to it’s neck for crying out loud (look at the picture rotation on the front page), to drown!?! Yea, yea, I know you gotta watch your baby closely when cleaning it, but you look away for only a second to reach for soap, even let go of the poor thing to do whatever, and the worst thing could happen. It’s like that woman on that “find the next inventor” show who put kids in plastic bubbles to keep them from fighting…seriously people. Get a clue. This is the most insane thing I’ve seen anyone sell. Especially a mother!! Not to mention some of those babies look extremely unhappy about being in the frigging thing. But I will give it kudos for other, more safer, products, like nifty towels and bath products (soap, lotion, etc.). Other then that…it’s a no sale for me.
Honestly though, what mother would subject a baby to this? It’s cruel. But like I said, this could all just be me…
