Skip Hop Moby Softspot Sink Bather

The BubsNest Verdict

The Moby 3-Stage Bathtub has a split reputation among UK parents. Many praise its roomy design, soft sling, and ability to grow with babies. However, just as many warn that it may be too large for newborns, the sling can be tricky to adjust, and it may not provide enough support for older infants. Parents in smaller homes also struggled with the tub's bulky footprint. Overall, it seems to work well for some families but has significant limitations that make it a polarising choice.

“Polarising opinions on fit, size, and suitability for older babies”

6.4

Decent

The Moby 3-Stage Bathtub has a split reputation among UK parents. Many praise its roomy design, soft sling, and ability to grow with babies. However, just as many warn that it may be too large for newborns, the sling can be tricky to adjust, and it may not provide enough support for older infants. Parents in smaller homes also struggled with the tub's bulky footprint. Overall, it seems to work well for some families but has significant limitations that make it a polarising choice.

What parents love

Roomy, adjustable designParents report the Moby has ample space for babies to splash and grow, with a soft sling that can be positioned in three stages.
Durable, easy to cleanThe tub's sturdy plastic construction and simple wipe-clean surface make it a practical choice, according to reviews.
Versatile for different agesMany parents appreciate that the Moby can be used from newborn through the toddler years, though some struggled with fit as babies got older.

Worth knowing

Bulky size and weightSeveral UK parents found the Moby too large and heavy to easily move around or store, especially in smaller homes.
Sling can be tricky to adjustSome reviewers said the sling was difficult to position comfortably, and didn't always provide enough support, especially for newborns.
May not suit older babiesA number of parents reported the Moby no longer worked well once their baby reached around 6-9 months old, as the sling didn't keep them secure.

Best for

  • Families with ample bathroom space
  • Parents looking for a long-lasting tub that can grow with their child

May not suit

  • Smaller homes with limited storage
  • Newborns or young infants who need more support
