Review: Puj Tub

As you know, the kiddos of our writers here at KidBuyProducts are a little too old to be reviewing things like baby bath tubs! (At this point I can barely remember when Lilly and Max were that young!) When the opportunity to review the new baby bath tub from Puj presented itself, it was too cool to pass up, so I asked my friend Sara and her new baby Kellen to do the review for us. Here she is:

Soon after the birth of our second baby boy, I remembered the joy of bathing a newborn. Not only are they a little awkward to hold in the water, but it's back breaking to lean over the tub. I was so excited to try out the Puj tub for this reason, hoping it would allow me to focus more on how cute bath time was, rather than how much my back was aching.

What I first noticed about the Puj is how compact it is. It comes completely flat so you can store it easily, unlikea traditional plastic baby tub. It folds together easily as well, and fits into a standard size bathroom sink. When you're done you just unfold it and let it air dry. I also liked the silky smooth texture of the Puj tub. It seemed to be a much more comfortable fit for a newborn.
When I received the Puj bath tub, Kellen was 2 months old, and it couldn't have come sooner. He was much more relaxed in the Puj than he had been in our other baby bath and I was more comfortable too. It also made me feel that Kellen was more secure. The way it is designed there is really no place for baby to go. To my complete surprise my husband even used the Puj to bathe Kellen. Apparently, it also made him feel more secure, as he did not bathe our other son, Jacob, until he was able to sit up on his own!
The only trouble I had was in rinsing Kellen after washing him. The directions do warn you not to run the faucet directly over the baby for obvious reasons. However, the tub doesn't really hold enough water to use for rinsing. Luckily we have double sinks in our bathroom, so I just filled a cup in the other sink. Without the double sink, I would have had to have a bucket of warm water ready. Also, the product advertises for babies up to the age of 6 months or up to 17 pounds. My babies tend to be on the longer and larger side, so Kellen who is just now 4 months old is already too big, though he is 2 pounds shy of the weight limit. While we were able to use it, however, it was always my choice to use the Puj tub, and I imagine Kellen would agree!
