Perfect for our toddler
This works great for us. We got it for our toddler as we have no bathtub at the moment, and you can't have a proper childhood with out a bathtub! :) We has a problem getting it to drain without making a huge mess, but after a trip to home depot we discovered "The Wonder Pump" and now we have no problem. (Here is the link to it on amazon http://smile.amazon.com/American-Specialty-PMP6-Marine-Wonder/dp/B000M3THCC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411483082&sr=8-1&keywords=wonder+pump)Update 12/30/14 -I ended up super gluing the plug in as I've had to many spills with it able to come out (either it bumping against the wall or my kiddo thinking it is his pacifier...)Also there is velcro on the "foot" of the tub and I kept getting my shirt (while bathing my kiddo) to it, or it would get stuck on the carpet when we it is collapsed. I ended up just getting some scissors and ripping it off and now it is much better.

Great tub!
The media could not be loaded. Okay, so both my daughter and I have taken a few baths in this now. First, there are few options for people who don't have baths, and I still think this is the best. Our house has two large showers but no bath tubs. My two-year-old is finally outgrowing her smaller toddler bath. We got this for her, but I planned on using it as well.Bibabath vs this one:The only other folding bath that I know of is the Bibabath, which is made in Europe. I chose this one instead because one side has a back rest, whereas the Bibabath doesn't have any solid walls. It is made for kids to play in and sit cross-legged, not for adults to lounge in. I am very pleased with the back rest! It is a perfect angle and it has foam insulation, so it's very comfortable. The major positive for the Bibabath is that it adjusts in size and they make many different sizes, so you can buy it to fit any size shower. This one fit easily in our 48" shower with a couple inches on each side to spare.At 5'5" I fit easily and comfortably in this bath. I would think anyone under 6' would be fine. Also, the short length is made up for the fact that it VERY deep! So even though your knees are bent, you could still be completely submerged in water. If I filled the tub up completely, it would almost hit my neck! Of course, I don't do that. :)Another big plus for this bath tub is that it is fabric and insulated with foam. There are thick foam panels sewn into the sides, bottom and on the backrest. It is so much more comfortable than a normal bathtub. I don't worry about my daughter slipping. And even if she did, she would just hit foam. It is so much more comfortable for me to sit in for a bath because I am sitting and laying on foam and fabric not a hard slippery surface.My daughter loves the tub. The high wall is not the greatest because I can't really lean over easily and play with her or hold onto her, but she is almost two and safe with me just sitting by. The high sides are actually nice because she can't splash water out of it nor can she get out on her own. It is also the high sides that make it so comfy to lounge in as an adult. You rest your head and back against it unlike a normal tub where you need a pillow or to slouch down a bunch.Now for the negatives...The biggest one is by far draining it. First, if you put the bath in a shower like I do the tub seals over the drain. This may depend on where the drain is positioned; I don't know. The first time I drained it, I realized that the shower pan was about to overflow because it wasn't draining. I had to lift up the bottom of the tub near the drain and keep my hand there to let the water out. A tub full of water is heavy. It was a pain. Now I use the tube that came with it to slip it under the tub and let the water drain out. It still requires work because, like I said, a full bath is heavy! I'm not sure I could do it if the tub were full. So I've dealt with and am fine with that. EDIT: I have since learned that if left to drain by itself, enough water will run out, that the fabric/foam bottom starts to float, so the water drains out! Yay! This has made bathing a lot easier. However, the shower it is currently in is large - five feet long, so quite a bit of water can come out before it would overflow.The bigger pain is that the plug (which works great) is position a couple inches above the bottom, so even when you have drained the tub, there is quite a bit of water left. I lift up the heavy-ish tub and dump out the water and leave it to dry tilted against the wall. However, there is still a small amount of water that doesn't drain out because when you flip it, the fabric partially crumples. I just wish they would put the plug closer to the bottom of the wall. Or even on the bottom of the tub. I still am happy to have the bath tub because there are no better options (to my knowledge).Lastly, how are you supposed to clean this tub? Bibabath sells a special cleaner. I don't want to ruin the bath tub, but you know how dirty they can get. It will need to be cleaned!I would also like to know what the fabric is, so I can know how safe/toxic it is. Plastic leaches chemicals when hot, which kind of creeps me out. But most tubs are acrylic anyway. And am I the only one who worries about buying things from China? I will say though that the fabric is really thick and has a nylon, hiking-backpack or windbreaker-type texture. It seems very sturdy. It is also super water repellent. Not a single layer of the fabric gets wet, so it's not a PUL (poly-urethane lining) fabric. I am also very pleased with the fish pattern I chose. It looks much better than the picture. It is actually very beautiful and vibrant. They could use classier fabric patterns though.

This is working out great. I'm 5'7' and it's big enough
Don't have a bath tub and don't have the time to put one in! This is working out great. I'm 5'7' and it's big enough. Very deep! Have to bend my legs, but it is still comfortable. The material is quite nice. Dries fast and I can just fold it and put it away. It won't fit in my shower and the hose provided for draining the tub is cheap. It pops off and can flood your floor. I bought a different hose (longer) and a hose clamp. Works better. I also bought a longer shower hose to reach where I have to put it. What we'll do for a bath!

If it's too good to be true.....
If it's too good to be true, it probably is. The listing reads for a bathtub, I received a Tom Clancy book. They need to change their heading to read "book", not "bathtub".

Folding Bath Tub
This product is very useful to provide a soaking tub in small spaces. My initial concern regarding product failure happened when the tubing broke. I contacted the company and they kindly send me the replacement part I needed to use the tub once again. It holds water well, keeps heat in, and will fold into a small space once you are no longer using it. It is a bit costly, but the market for such items appears to be small. I am grateful to the company for replacement of the bars and hope that they continue to find a market niche for their product.

The zip up covers helped keep th heat in nicely and it was easy to set up
Everything that was advertised! The zip up covers helped keep th heat in nicely and it was easy to set up. The only issue was that the tub will only drain if the draining tube is level with the drain hole. Which is impossible to do if you have a raised shower tray. I had to empty it by scooping out bucketfuls. Still worth it though.

Bath Time For Me...At Last!
This was a gift to myself .I have joint problems and am a bath person...I contemplated this for two years.So...it has held up....it was easy to put together..and..their was a bit of a odor ,a chemical odor ..from the fabric ,but that is gone now..And..well its not like a real ceramic bathtub.But ..it has offered me comfort and luxury with some epsom salts on a cold ,brittle ,winter day..It is better than a plastic container....it does look rather comical...clownish..luckily it folds easily and has a nice case.I was afraid to order this,but am glad i did.It suits the purpose it was designed for.Oh and it is huge,my son who is 5'7" disappeared in it,in case anyone was wondering about the size.

Love this tub
My husband is wheelchair bound & we use a shower chair to give him a shower, however we had to remove the tub to make a walkin shower. I have missed being able to take a bath. When I found this on the internet I wasn't sure about it, I thought about it for several months before I purchased it. I am so glad that I finally purchased it, I have been able to take several baths to soak my weary back, then I fold the tub up when I'm through so that I can use the shower stall for my husband. It is easy to open & fold up. It is not for a big person, I am 5'1" so it is fine for me & my grandkids.
