New Skip Hop Baby Bath Tub, 3-Stage Smart Sling Tub (Moby, Grey)
The Skip Hop Baby Bath Tub (Moby, Grey) is a three-stage whale-shaped infant bathtub designed for babies from newborn up to 25 pounds, using a removable mesh Smart Sling that locks into two ergonomic positions: an upper position for full-body newborn cradling and a lower position for seated infant support, with the sling removable for independent sitters. Constructed from polypropylene and polyester, it measures 27.5 x 19 x 11.5 inches and features a drain plug, swivel hook for hanging storage, and non-slip interior texture. This item is brand new but does not ship in original box; user reports indicate the middle sling position may be awkward for some infants, and the mesh sling can stain from bowel movements, though the tub is generally valued for its extended usability across multiple stages.

Grow with you feature
Grow with you, easy storage. Perfect size for baby's safe playful bath time.
Perfect!
I should have put this product in my registry! I love how it grows with my baby and I don’t have to worry about cleaning the tub for bath time. It also super cute!

I bought this is a shower gift for my niece. She is very happy with the overall quality of it and so am I. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it.
Amazing
I recently bought this item. My baby loved it. Very comfortable. Thank you Skip Hop
Great Features
I love this tub as it's adorable and has convenient features for easy bathing.
Great features!!
I got the tub as a gift and love it!! Works very with the attachments to wash my baby’s hair and body. The tub serves its purpose. Although I would recommend selling the sling separate as the tub can be used love longer for smaller babies.
Ignore the reviews complaining about mould
The people complaining about mould clearly have no clue how to care for the product. If you leave the sling in the bath to dry it is guaranteed to get mouldy. Simple solution, detach the sling after each bath and hang to dry outside or somewhere airy. Other than that it's a great baby bath and the adjustable sling is fantastic to change bathing positions from newborn onwards. It's well made and sturdy and the whale design is cute. We got the blue one and he loves it. My only complaint is the fasteners to hold the sling in place need quite a bit of force to adjust them to different places.
We love the 3 stages. We are at 2
Perfect tub. We love it Stage one was perfect because it was easy to hold the baby up. Now that GL is 5 months he loves that he can lay back and sit up on his own. Can’t wait to use it when he gets big enough for stage 3.
Reddit Insights
6 threads · r/beyondthebump, r/BabyBumpsCanada, r/Buyingforbaby, r/NewParents, r/newborns, r/beyondthebumpReddit parents generally like the Skip Hop 3‑stage Smart Sling tub for longevity and newborn support but report that stage 2 fit can be awkward and the mesh sling stains easily and is hard to clean.
Multiple users say they are "happy" with the tub and still using it at toddler age, but several others struggle with the stage 2 hammock positioning and complain that the sling stains from poop and doesn’t fully come clean, leading to a neutral-to-slightly-positive overall tone.
Themes
Use Cases
- Newborn and early-infant bathing with the Smart Sling in the highest position for head and neck support
- Using the tub without sling as baby can sit supported or independently, extending use into toddler years
- Using the Skip Hop as an intermediate step before moving baby to the full bath tub
Watch Out For
Community Q&A
- Does the Skip Hop 3‑stage Smart Sling tub work well in the middle (stage 2) hammock position?
- Experiences are mixed: some can adjust baby’s position so they’re comfortable, but several parents say stage 2 never worked well and they either skipped it, co‑bathed, or used another tub until baby could sit.
- How long can you use the Skip Hop 3‑stage tub before moving to the big bathtub?
- Many report using it until around 6–9 months or until baby can sit steadily, with some still using the tub without sling into the toddler years before transitioning to the main bath.
- How easy is it to clean the Skip Hop sling after poop accidents?
- Parents say the mesh sling can stain from poop and may remain discolored even after scrubbing and washing; some accept cosmetic staining, others are bothered by it.
- Is the Skip Hop Moby 3‑in‑1 / Smart Sling version worth it over simpler plastic tubs?
- Users appreciate the newborn support and multiple stages, but note drawbacks like sling staining and a tricky middle stage; overall many still recommend it as a solid multi-stage option.
Compared To
vs Angelcare bath seat
Some parents switch from the Skip Hop sling stage to Angelcare because they find Skip Hop’s middle stage awkward, but Angelcare can require filling the whole tub and may let active babies flail and bump themselves.
vs Boon tub
In a Canada-focused buying thread, the Skip Hop Smart Sling tub is weighed against Boon; commenters highlight Skip Hop’s multi-stage use and padded support vs Boon’s simpler design.
vs Inflatable baby tub
One parent who couldn’t get the Skip Hop stage 2 to work tried an inflatable tub; it was more compact but still let the baby slide down until he could sit independently.
Source Threads
Parents struggling with and adapting to the Skip Hop 3‑stage tub’s middle hammock setting
OP with the Skip Hop 3‑stage bath tub says their 3.5‑month‑old slouches with his neck on his chest and slides off the edge of the hammock in the second setting; another parent says they had the same problem but found that positioning baby’s butt by the “end roll” of the hammock kept him in place, and notes their son is now almost 2 and they still happily use the tub without the hammock; another commenter says they could never get stage 2 to work and ended up trying Angelcare and then an inflatable tub before their baby could sit independently.

Comparing Skip Hop Smart Sling tub with Boon and Angelcare in a buying decision
In a thread asking for bathtub recommendations between Boon, Angelcare, and Skip Hop, commenters discuss the Skip Hop Smart Sling tub as a multi‑stage option with a supportive sling for newborns; users weigh this against simpler designs like Angelcare and Boon, mentioning that Skip Hop can be used longer thanks to its stages and molded shape even after removing the sling.

Experiences and worries about the Skip Hop Smart Sling Whale tub and sling wear
OP asks about the Skiphop Smart Sling Whale Tub and whether the sling stretching or wearing out is an issue; replies describe using the Skip Hop Smart Sling tub successfully but mention that the sling can stain and may not look pristine over time, though functionally it still works and the plastic tub can be used without the sling as baby grows.

Skip Hop tub sling discoloration from bath poop and cleaning challenges
A NewParents user posts that their Skip Hop tub sling is stained from bath poos and looks gross despite cleaning attempts; commenters reassure them that staining is common with the mesh material, advise focusing on sanitizing rather than restoring the original color, and some suggest soaking or machine washing but acknowledge the sling may remain discolored.

First-hand reports on the Skip Hop Moby 3‑in‑1 (Smart Sling) bathtub across stages
OP in r/newborns asks about the Skip Hop Moby 3 in 1 bathtub; responses highlight that the tub works well for newborns in the sling, but some users echo that the middle stage is awkward so they either move baby to the last stage earlier or co‑bathe; several say they like that the tub can be used for many months, sometimes up to or past 1 year, once the sling is removed.

When parents move from Skip Hop-style baby tubs to a full-size bathtub
In a discussion about when to upgrade to the big bathtub, several commenters mention using a Skip Hop‑style baby tub until their child can sit confidently or until around 6–9 months, then transitioning to the main tub (sometimes with a bath seat or mat), showing how long the 3‑stage Smart Sling tubs typically remain in use before families feel comfortable switching.
