- Has handles that are comfortable to grip.
- See through plastic to see what you're doing.
- Doesn't fit in a sink.
- Hazard for older children.
- Padded handles to carry comfortably to the location of your choice.
- Stickers to help make the appropriate water level, which should be a few inches under the baby's arm pits when immersed.
- Clear plastic to see baby during bath.
- Padded bottom for baby's comfort.
The see through plastic meant I could see in the washPOD at all times. It also has handles that are nicely designed with pads for carrying the washPOD with water. I liked the thought that went into designing a bottom that was friendly to baby behinds as well. It also allowed me to not worry about the baby being slippery or sliding while I was bathing the baby.
The down side for me was that it didn't fit in my sink. If I placed it in my bath tub, then I lost that closeness and was once again leaning over the tub, which hurts my back and knees. So we resorted to sitting it on the bath mat in the bathroom, though it could go anywhere. Though I did need to bring a pitcher of water to do the baby's hair and to get clean water for the face. It was also not as messy, water wise, as I had imagined it would be.
Since you really don't use much water it is not heavy to carry, even when filled. But it would still be difficult for anyone who has trouble carrying objects. And while your baby is too little now, you may have other toddlers or kids running around and this is definitely a drowning hazard for older children, so care should be taken to always empty and store the washPOD after use.
