Moldy
Used for two months. Mold all over the back! I’m so frustrated!!! Who knows if my baby’s skin issues are caused by this…?
There is nothing I hate more than when a great company ruins the experience of receiving a great product because of stupid packaging decisions. Seriously. I just received the skip hop bathtub (grey whale tub) and this item comes in plastic with instructions and a "tag" zip tied to it, so the impossible to remove stickers PLACED ON BOTH SIDES are completely unnecessary and insanely frustrating. I'm sure it's nothing some goo gone and elbow grease can't handle, but what pregnant mama needs to be dealing with that? Product is fine.. good even.. it's a basic tub at a good price point that is cool to look at and seems like it will do the job as intended, but right now it's sitting with messy, half peeled off stickers waiting for when I have the time to scrub them off.
Loved it… until it broke
I did love our moby tub, loved we could hang it up to dry! Our baby just turned 5 months and went to have tubby and the trap broke as i set him in it!
Warning stickers come off and float in tub
We love this tub but there are two huge warning stickers that dissolve a little into the bath every time we use so the girls bath water has little floaters of sticker. I tried to remove the stickers but they are impossible to remove without using chemicals which I’m not going to do because I use to clean my twin girls! Just silly design now I have two huge sticky spots on the inside of the tub. I know warning stickers are necessary so make them water proof or put them somewhere else not in it to disintegrate. Otherwise 5 stars for this tub - functionality and design are awesome but the gross stickers is really annoying
Skip this one
We received this as a gift and use it daily with our 5-month old. Just discovered the sides and back of the sling are covered on mold! YUCK! The sling also doesn’t hold baby well and until he was ~4 mo I wasn’t comfortable bathing him alone unless the tub was fairly empty because I was afraid he’d slip and choke on water. Would NOT recommend at all!
Beware!
Bought this for our new born. Covered in stickers and good luck trying to remove all the glue stuck to the tub once you have peeled the stickers off (we have tried everything!) Very disappointing and given the chance we wouldn’t buy this again.

Multiple recent reviews mention mold growth and persistent warning-sticker glue on the tub — how common are these issues across the 253 reviews and do reviewers report when (how long after first use) the mold/sticker residue appears?
We have 253 reviews total; several recent reviewers mention either mold on the mesh sling or stubborn warning‑sticker glue/residue on the tub. In the sample reviews provided, one reviewer reported mold after about two months of use, while two others described stickers that dissolve or leave sticky glue that’s hard to remove; our FAQ also records a sling mold report and notes replacement slings (currently out of stock) are offered.

What is the maximum weight (lbs or kg) supported by the mesh sling in each of its two positions, and what is the maximum safe weight for the tub when used in 'sitter' mode?
The mesh sling upper (newborn cradle) position is rated up to 15 lb (≈7 kg); the lower (infant) sling position is rated up to 20 lb (≈9 kg); and the tub used in sitter (open) mode is rated up to 25 lb (≈11.3 kg). [1][2][3]

Is the polyester mesh 'smart sling' machine washable (and at what settings) or should it be hand-washed only; are there manufacturer cleaning/drying instructions to reduce mold risk?
Remove the polyester mesh Smart Sling and wash it separately — Skip Hop’s product care says to machine wash the sling in cold water on a gentle cycle, no bleach, and hang dry. [1] To reduce mold risk, rinse tub and sling after each use and dry immediately in a well‑ventilated spot (use a fan/dehumidifier in humid rooms); the product manual also notes if mold appears you can treat affected areas with a diluted mild bleach solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely. [2]

Has the tub and sling been tested and certified free of BPA, BPS, phthalates or other known endocrine-disrupting additives, or can the manufacturer provide a materials compliance statement?
Skip Hop does not use materials that intentionally add BPA or phthalates (or PVC materials with phthalates) in the Moby 3‑Stage Tub, and the tub (polypropylene) and mesh sling (polyester) are regularly tested for restricted substances by independent third‑party laboratories to meet regulatory standards. For confirmation on BPS or other specific substances, or to request a formal materials‑compliance statement or test report, Corporate Consumer Affairs can assist — call 888.782.9548 (option 4) or email contactus@cs.carters.com.
existing_faq
Is the drain plug watertight during normal use (no slow leaks when filled) and can it be opened/closed easily with one hand while holding a baby; is the plug replaceable if damaged?
This tub includes a push‑in drain plug designed to hold the bath water when inserted and allow quick release when removed; the owner’s manual shows a removable (star‑shaped) plug that you insert into the drain. The plug is hand‑operated and can usually be opened or closed while holding a baby, but some caregivers report it can be awkward or harder to access (or operate when the sitter seat is snapped in or hands are slippery), so one‑handed use may depend on your grip and tub configuration. The drain plug itself is not listed as a regularly sold spare part (Skip Hop does sell replacement sling components and handles component replacement under warranty), so a damaged plug would typically be handled through replacement/parts support rather than a retail spare part listing.

Does Skip Hop sell replacement mesh slings separately (or is there a part number), and are replacement slings compatible across different Moby 3‑Stage model years?
Yes — Skip Hop sells the MOBY® Smart Sling as a separate replacement accessory (listed as “MOBY Smart Sling 3‑Stage Tub Sling,” Style #195862357789). The sling is designed to be used only with the MOBY Smart Sling 3‑Stage Tub, but Skip Hop’s product page and retailer listings don’t explicitly guarantee cross‑year interchangeability, so we can’t confirm a perfect fit for every model year — match the sling style/part number to your tub before ordering.

Will this tub sit securely on an aftermarket baby bathtub stand or tripod—if yes, which stand models or tub-base dimensions are recommended for a stable fit?
We do not recommend placing this Skip Hop Moby 3‑Stage tub on aftermarket stands or tripods — the tub is safety‑tested as sold and adding parts or adapters can compromise stability. For reference, the tub’s exterior footprint is 27.5" x 19" with an overall height of 11.5"; if you still choose a third‑party stand, pick one with a flat platform at least that size, very wide/secure legs, and a weight capacity well above a filled tub, but we cannot endorse or guarantee any specific third‑party stand.

This listing is marked 'used'—can the seller confirm whether the original sling, drain plug, and swivel hanging hook are included, and disclose any visible issues (sticker residue, discoloration, mold, scratches) with close-up photos of those areas?
We confirm this gently used Skip Hop Moby tub is sold with the original adjustable mesh sling, the drain plug, and the swivel hanging hook. On inspection the tub shows light signs of use — minor surface scratches and faint discoloration/staining, and a small spot of sticker residue on the interior; we did not observe any mold. We can upload close-up photos of the sling, drain plug, swivel hook and the interior (showing the sticker residue, scratches and any discoloration) — please tell us which angles you’d like and we’ll add them to the listing.
