Fisher-Price Aquarium Bath Tub J7814

Good – The bath is excellent you can start bathing the baby from day one but my only Problem is I couldn't get a replacement for the bumper inside. It was broken when I tried to clean it. It will be nice if replacement products are sold, otherwise great product for me . Parts broken

Great and long lasting – Hammock is great for bathing a newborn without having to hold them in the bath. Then a larger baby can sit at one end while you wash them due to the safety bump in the middle. Ignore people on this site complaining about the safety bump! This is completely removeable for when your baby can sit up in the bath or if you prefer to use it without… Read more

propping the baby up. This really can last from newborn to young toddler and I found it a safe and convenient way to bath the baby. Safe, convenient Plug seems a bit pointless - I just tipped the water out afterwards

Great for newborns – I got this for free thankfully. We dont have a bath in our house and I wanted it because of the hammock idea. It worked great when my son was a newborn, I was able to lower him into the water and have both hands free , but once he was about 4 weeks old, and we couldnt use the hammock anymore, the bath was useless. There is a big bump in the middle… Read more

of it, so you cant lie baby down, and they would just freeze if you sat them on the bump. I ended up buying a normal plastic tub with no extra moulding- and its perfect. Cute design, hammock is useful Expensive, has bump mould in the middle

Bad – If your thinking of a baby bath your better off getting a basic one Dont waste your money its not worth it . But we all learn from our mistakes of buying baby items . Back to basics as it used to be. Great for a 1st baby and only newborn stage as it only holds a little bit of water (some people are scared to bath the bubs 1st time) Very… Read more

Expensive, Hammock i found useless and was better to hold the baby instead. Ended up Buying a new basic tub that has lasted me 2 children and was 1/3 of the cost.

Terrible – I used this for the first time at a friends house when I was helping out with her new baby. She had several other kids so I thought this was a great idea as I could turn my head or open the shampoo for other kid as I did not need both hands. So when I was having my first baby I went and bought one and only used it once. When the baby is in the… Read more

sling they are hardly wet and get cold quick. I also had a water baby who loved the water so she got frustrated that she was not in the water and getting to the water to poor it over her was hard work. I would only use in warm weather and if you know that you are not going to be able to hold/use both hands to support your baby the entire time. On the whole give it a miss. Bath toys are good. For a bath it is actually very hard to get the baby wet.

Once the sling is out not very useful as a bath either as very short and the baby can not kick and stretch.

Terrible – Would not recommend, bath looks good but is completely impractical. First time mum error! Feel bad reselling the item as am sure the next person will feel the same. Not many. In fact, none except it holds water. Completely impractical and needed replacing almost immediately. My son was born fairly big (3.75kgs) and didnt fit the hammock… Read more

immediately. At first he looked v uncomfortable on the seat to as he was so young and also had to be held. Even then tho when in the bath he was barely covered with water and I would have to cover him in warm flannels to stop him getting cold. Within weeks he had grown out of that end too and the other end was completely impractical as well, he was barely covered in water in this end either. Replaced for a standard deeper white bath, which is fine.

Bad – Overall I would say the bath was useful for eight weeks, but after that it was no good. If I had my time again I would not buy it. I would simply buy a simple (and cheaper) baby tub. The bath looks really impressive! Honestly, there are more cons than pros; however there were some positive aspects. My son was qite small when he was born… Read more

(2.6kg) so the hammock proved very useful during his early baths. It was easy to set up and then allowed for me to use both hands to wash him, pour water over him and get the towel ready etc.. My son was born in February, so the issues surrounding him getting cold whilst out of the water didn't really affect me too much.

The plug in the bottom was helpful.

My son is now 8 months old and we are still using the plastic play cups that came with the bath! My main gripe with this bath was that my son grew out of it way too quickly. As I said the hammock was good, but once he outgrew that the bath wasn't too flash. The bottom of the bath is not flat, and the baby is supposed to sit behind a ridge in the bottom (designed, I assume, so the baby won't slide down under the water); however I found my son sat up too high. The water only came to his waist even when the bath was completely full. Furthermore, because I had to put so much water in the bath, everytime my son moved or splashed water went everywhere!

Terrible – Waste of money (and I received it as a gift). Hammock appears as if it will be useful, but bub is too far out of the water and gets cold. It will only last a couple of months before most bubs will be too long to fit in this bath. Not much. Ok for a brand new baby and saves water compared to a full size bath. Bub gets too cold using the hammock, so… Read more

that lasted all of 2 days. Because of the head rest position in the bottom, my bub only lasted 2 months before he was too long to comfortably fit.

Terrible – I think this bath is totally over-rated. As a new mother I didn't know any better and thought that it looked really good. In reality it isn't, and for the price you pay it should be! I regret buying this bath and the money I paid for it when I could have got a plain one for so much cheaper that would have done the job better. The plastic cups.… Read more

Pretty much all of it, especially the price! The hammock was awkward and my bub got really cold as they were out of the water. When I took this off, he still couldn't get in the water properly as there is a plastic piece for them to sit on that is just not in the right spot. I used it twice before giving up on it. It was my most disappointing baby buy.

Good – I quite like this bath. I love the hammock and the toys that came with it. We didn't understand the point of the legs that came with the tub that need to be screwed on. We just use it without the legs and it is quite stable. The bump which forms a bathseat later on is a bit of a pain but we worked around it when baby was little and now it is… Read more

great as it actually does help her sit up in the tub. She loves chewing on the attached bath toys and I love tipping the water from the little shell cup over her to keep her warm whilst sitting in the tub. I would recommend this to nervous new parents as it can be tricky bathing a newborn and if you use this bath with the hammock, you don't have to worry about holding the wet slippery thing. I bought this bath mainly because it came with a hammock for "hands free" bathing as babies can be slippery. I also like that it comes with attached toys for water play. I didn't like the bump in the bath (which is for later when they use it sitting up) as I thought baby would have found that a bit uncomfortable when she is lying in the hammock

Bad – The only thing we now use are the toys that came with the bath as my baby enjoys playing with these in the big bath tub. Although its a good idea having your hands free with a new born whilst using the hammock your baby gets too cold in the mean while and then after finishing with the hammock we found the bath useless as our baby was too… Read more

uncomfortable. Its an expensive buy that I wish I never made. Two hands free whilst using the hammock whilst washing a new born. I found this really helpful being a first time mother as I was very nervous bathing my new born baby. When using the hammock your baby is not under the water so can get very cold quite quickly. Once we had finsihed using the hammock and started using the bath without it I could never seem to get my baby comfortable in this bath no matter what way I tried to put her.

Terrible – I know of alot of mums who have bought this bath thinking it was somethign special. But I can asure you its not! This is one of the first things i bought for my baby but found I only used it once. The hammock keeps them too high out of the water and makes them cold. The odd shape makes it quite hard to fill and empty and move around. Once the… Read more

baby is able to sit up the bath is way too small. I bought mine off ebay and subsequently sold it the very same way. Looks appealing in theory Baby gets too cold, very overrated

Bad – i loved the hammock, really supported bub especially as a newborn, however i could not figure out what's the use of the the bump on the back. if you really are curious on using it i'd advice you to buy secondhand as its quite expensive bought new. the hammock and bright toys the bump on the back is really annoying,makes bub uncomfortable

Good – I would recommend this product and wish I'd had it for my first two babies. I was always afraid using regular baby baths because newborns are so small, slippery and squirmy, they're hard to hold and then it is difficult to wash them with only one hand free. The hammock offers great, safe support of my baby so that I can wash and play with her… Read more

with both hands. She really enjoys using this bath and seems to feel safe and comfortable. Bright and colourful, hammock makes it really easy to wash baby with both hands free. Plug at bottom for easy emptying. Head support for small babies. Bump in the middle of the bath - I don't understand what purpose it serves and looks very uncomfortable. I always put a towel over it so that it doesn't dig into my daughter's back. Hammock attachments aren't long enough, now that my baby is getting bigger I would like to lower the hammock more at the bottom end but there is not enough length in the attachments.

Good – I am happy with how this bath works for us in our laundry sink; we're able to fill it and drain it so easily. I would advise seeing if you could do this with any bath before removing packaging and committing to your purchase. The bath would be perfect without the bump in the base. Baby can be propped up on this bump, but cannot ever strech out on… Read more

her back or front because of it. The height of the bath is lower than others and it fits great into our laundry sink under the tap. The hammock was awesome when bubs was a newborn - it completely removed any worries we had about her safety whilst we were bathing her. Bubs was secure even when our hands were all soapy and slippery! The bump in the bottom of the bath - bubs gets a red mark on her back from it if we're not careful.

Terrible – This is probably the worst $40-50 I spent on any baby item for my son, the bath is so over priced and doesn't work. Buy a cheaper basic one that has some decent depth and a few toys/cups and save your money. Looks Great The toys are good Price Hammock holds baby out of the water Bump in middle of bath hurts baby

Terrible – Dont bother with this bath. Go and buy a cheap one from BigW or KMart. This is too small and the hammock never got used. We did however keep the toys which he still plays with in the bath, but we didnt buy the bath for the toys. Too small, too expensive

Terrible – I think these toys are only good for a very short time. They are not built big enough for long term use and baby will quickly grow out of them. These baths look nice and come with a few fun toys for baby to play with. These tubs will not be in use for long as they are made a bit too small for long term use and they are not designed to hold a lot… Read more

of water. They are expensive and the hammock feature is not very useful. I ended up getting rid of it after only a few uses as it does not allow baby to even hardly get wet.

OK – The Fisher-Price Aquarium Bath Tub was fine for my baby for the first few months but he never used the hammock and quickly grew too big for the bath in general. It was given to us as a gift from his Aunty and I feel a bit like she was ripped off as a lot of the 'features' don't do anything functional. Was a functional baby bath. Drain hole makes… Read more

emptying the baby bath much easier as you don't have to lift the thing up to tip the water out. The hammock was never of any use in my opinion and I think it's a bit of a gimmick.

OK – I think this bath is great for a small baby but my baby outgrew it before he could sit unassisted and I ended up having to purchase another bath. I got 5 months use out of it though, which is pretty good. I loved the hammock when my baby was a newborn. It held him well and meant that I could have my hands free. I also loved the little orange… Read more

plastic fish cup, which I used to pour water over my bub. It's very handy. What's bad about the bath's design is definitely the hard plastic ridge that the baby's back has to lie on when in the hammock. It would be very uncomfortable.

Excellent – This has been a great little bath for our children and they especially love the attached toys and how they function! Brilliant! Beautiful colour scheme with such bright and contrasting characters, has a handy pad which is great for newborn babies who are quite vulnerable in water, has a plug for easy removal of water, can convert into 3 different… Read more

baths for 3 different ages, comes with attractive and fun bath time play toys It was more expensive than other baby baths, required a screw to be completely set up which is unusual, was hard to get out of the packet!

Terrible – The bath was good in theory but the hummock didn't work very well with the big bump in the middle of the tub, it meant that my baby was not submerged enough in the water and got cold very quickly and left a big red mark on his back. The toys would have been ok for an older bub but we didn't have it long enough to use them. The head support was a… Read more

good idea but didn't seem to sit right in the hammock. Looks good Way ovrer priced, bump in the middle of the bath and baby doesn't sit in the water when using the hammock.

Terrible – I thought the hammock was a fantastic idea for bathing a newborn but it didn't seem to work well. The countours in the bath under the hammock stick into my son's back when bathing him and he would just squirm and grizzle the whole time. When I tried to turn him around to face the other direction and remove the hammock, the area that he was sitting… Read more

in was an awkward shape / size and he didn't fit comfortably in that end either. I have kept the couple of little toy's and ditched the bath now - much easier to use a bath support and the normal bath. Looks nice. Pretty much everything else.

Bad – A good idea in theory, but not very well designed. My baby was born in the middle of winter, and I found she would be shivering sitting in the hammock having her bath, even though the room was very warm. Now she is older, (6 months) I have been bathing her in the stage 2 or stage 3 positions, but as she is moving around more, it feels unsafe. … Read more

The pillow of the hammock gets in the way and gets very cold.

Not very happy with this baby bath, I'm glad it was a gift and I did not waste my money buying it. Hammock makes it easier to bath newborn baby Baby is not submerged in the water, so gets cold easily

The bump in the middle!! Was ok when my baby was newborn, but once she was a few months old it would leave a nasty red mark on her back

Bad – Very disappointed the first time I went to bath my daughter. If the sling was around the other way, it might work, but this whole design just shows that Fisher Price didn't really test it all that much, and are just out for money with a flash looking product. $60 for this...DON'T BUY IT!!! Go with one of the basic $20 baths you can get Love the… Read more

colour and theme. Great for bathing on the bench. The bump in the middle is right where my baby's back sits and hurts her, and because of the bump, the baby is too far out of the water when using the sling, which makes bathtime freezing.

OK – My Mum bought this for my son after he was born after scoffing at the price whilst I was pregnant! I probably would have bought it if she hadnt. The Hammock was great while he was little but now that he likes to kick and splash it is too small. It would be ok if there wasnt the bump in the middle, but because of that it is too hard to use as he… Read more

doesnt sit up unassisted. Once he can sit up unassisted we will probably use it again, but for that in between time its useless. I have seen a similar one with a hammock, but without the bump, so would probably go with that if I had my time over again. Bright colour, cups are good, bath can sit on kitchen bench, hammock is good for newborn the bump in the middle- would be better without it, as it is now too small for my 5 month old. The price- $60 is a bit much for a baby bath.

Bad – i found this bath to be pretty useless as baby grew out of it quickly, i think i only bought it because it looked good.I found it hard to fill and empty on my own, the plug is in the wrong place i think such a cute colourful bath, my son loved the toys it came with. a very expensive bath, i think it was $60 and it didnt get much use. The net didnt… Read more

work because there is a big bump in the base of bath (used for toddler) that sat in babys back, not very comfortable. good idea though

OK – I initially liked the idea of the newborn insert, but when we took home our son, we realised that it was utterly useless! It was just too uncomfortable for him. My son little when he was born, but he outgrew this bath so quickly that it had to be replaced. Overall, I think people should just go with a bigger baby bath or maybe just buy one of… Read more

those supports for baby to use the adult bath. Unless you get this cheap secondhand or are given one, it seems like such a waste. Cute; small enough to place on a countertop. The "newborn" attachment turned out to be completely useless for us; baby outgrew this so quickly that I had to purchase a bigger one.

OK – Is an ok bath if you know you're only going to use it for the first 6-7 months, we ended up selling this one on ebay and buying the whale bath which is much better suited for our now 8 month old and still has the seat/stopper insert that you can use to assist when you have the newborn. Net supports baby as a newborn. Baby grew out of it by 7 months/7kgs.

Terrible – Such a waste of money! At best, it could be used as a splashing pool in summer for an older baby who can support itself. The toys are really the only positive aspect of this bath in my opinion. For a newborn, the hammock is not suitable as they freeze, not being properly submerged in the water. The way the 'back support" for older babies slants is not user friendly either, as in this position, the baby is barely in the water also.

Good – Love using this bath. I fill it up in bath and bath baby in the FP Aquarium bath tub sitting in our normal bath to not need to carry it with water etc. Only used the newborn insert once, found it easy enough to hold baby in there myself. Very stable. Has grip parts on the edges making it easy for me when my arm is resting there. Am happy with… Read more

this product overall. Very colourful eye catching design. Comes with a few toys also. Able to be used for awhile, like products that can be used for longer. Is heavy if you are using it filled with water on a bench or similar.

OK – Such a fun colourful design, my son loved the toy that hangs over and the water cups. Hard to fill up/empty when on your own colourful, comes with toys. Can be used from newborn to toddler. Hammock style was a great idea, very soft and comfy There is a part in the bath that sits under babys back making it awkward and uncomfortable for a newborn… Read more

baby for a newborn baby. I found it very difficult to empty as the plug is in the base so you have to lift the bath full of water to let the water out the bottom

OK – My son was 8lb and just kept getting bigger, by the time he was 3 months old he was too big for even the sitting up part of this bath. The plastic hump in the middle of the bottom of the bath is in the wrong position and gave my son a red mark when i rested his back on it, the hump also didnt have any padding on it and a bit hard for a new born… Read more

to rest its back on. The pillow bit slips up and the straps dont stay taught no matter how much pulling. The hammock is a pain really because you have to hang it out after each bath and wash otherwise it gets mouldy. The toys, however are still loved by my son and i still use the cups after 1 year. Bright design, great toys Too small for bigger babies, big plastic divider in the middle of the bath bottom
